Nicky Wire, in an interview with Absolute Radio, expressed his disappointment, "I was gutted that it missed the top 40", before adding "My excitement always turns into a real dose of fear when Im waiting for a chart position or to find out whether the radios going to play our record, he said. Its like waiting for that envelope to drop through the door and see youve got a D in geography..
