[Black Mamba]

As long as it's not a turd like Know Your Enemy I don't give a shit who wrote the album.
Kylie Minogue can return the favour for Some Kind Of Bliss for all I care.

Miss Europa Disco Dancer ruins that entire album single handedly already and I'm not even talking about other bad stuff.

Intravenous Agnostic, Let Robeson Sing and So Why So Sad are up to par though.

[Black Mamba]

You must like light/superficial stuff then.

[Muttley]

That's the thing.

Those songs I like are the ones with either a message or some good production.

"Freedom of Speech Won't Feed My Children"
"My Guernica"

"Ocean Spray"

No messages worth of your time?

Well, a song about his mother drinking cranberry juice can contain a message but it's not really up to par with their other work.

The trumpets ruin the song for me, besides that Ocean Spray is a cracking song :happy:

What do you think Ocean Spray is?

I don't really think it's a lousy album but t's by far their weakest effort and the main reason for that is stinkers like MEDD.

If music was only about getting a mesage across more people would have loved Leonard Cohen and Jacques Brel

[Black Mamba]

I like Jacques Brel, not everybody understands his songs though.

I always liked Scott Walkers interpretations of his songs

I hate Ocean Spray. hate hate hate.

[Zaphod Chizzlebrox]

I hate Ocean Spray. hate hate hate.

The song or the juice?

I just think Ocean Spray and Let Robeson Sing were kind of pointers towards what they did with Lifeblood. Which, incidentally, I kind of liked.

I have to say I'm definitely looking forward to April now and new material, just to see if Richey's old lyrics still stand up to scrutiny. And of course because they'll be touring, and hopefully festing it up again :happy:

[Gemsy]

both. I hate let robeson sing an' all. In fact, that album just totally killed the crazy Manics fan in me after TIMTTMY gave said crazy Manics fan the... killer herp. sorri x

I think This Is My Truth was the real Richey comedown album. Then the next couple were sort of nadir albums and hopefully they're on the way back up after Send Away The Tigers. I'm actually really excited about this new album now, I haven't felt this excited for an album for a long time...not since before In Rainbows was released although I didn't have time to get excited about that :LOL:

[Muse Engine]

What do most Manics fans think of This Is My Truth? Because, on balance, it's probably my favourite album of the ones I have, which consist of Generation Terrorists, The Holy Bible, Everything Must Go, TIMT and Send Away The Tigers.

To me it's a bit too dark, it has a few ace songs on it, but the middle sags and the end drags. Even Black Dog... can't save the second half of the album, it just dirges for me. Manics are at their best when they're being urgent and energetic, and that period up until the end of Lifeblood didn't really suit them.

[Meep]

I really like it. Not my favourite album of theirs but when I put it on I tend to listen to it all the way through. JDBs voice is excellent throughout too :happy:

Talking about JDB's voice...I was hacked off at the amount of multitracking they used on Know Your Enemy. His voice is powerful enough to not need Dave Grohl/Grant Nicholas's best friend.

[Black Mamba]

I love all their albums YOU LOT AREN'T REAL FANS 111111!


Nah, I do love This is my truth...,I have to say that my least fave album is EMG...I have no idea why, I just don't like that much.

Time called on historic pub after 155 years

ONE of Cardiff’s oldest pubs is being forced to shut down to make way for the new St David’s 2 development.

Built in 1853, The Vulcan is a favourite of rock group the Manic Street Preachers as well as hundreds of other regulars. But after first being earmarked for closure because of the new development three years ago, owners Brain’s Beer have confirmed the pub, on Adam Street, Adamsdown, will finally stop pulling pints in June next year after being handed a compulsory purchase order.

Despite booming business, landlady Liz Smart and husband Brian were told by contractors the pub would be pulled down to make way for a 3,000-space car park for the new shopping centre.

Looks like they'll have to find another watering hole...

[Rage Kitty]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b71/bossmew/99problemsgo7fa0.gif

I didn't make that

That's shit :(

Why don't the Manics step in and do what The Wellington in Manchester did...it was moved brick by brick from Shambles Square to where it is now on the Triangle. They should definitely do something, especially as popular and profitable pubs are becoming more and more scarce these days.

I still dont think his dead tbh

[iamawesome]

Whether I believe he's alive or dead depends entirely on my mood at the time of being asked. :unsure:

[Davey25]

he was seen in lanzarote and india. but dunno how long ago that was.. obv wasnt def him. 'sightings'.

i personally think he is alive. but if he ''makes a return'' it might be a bit weird cause they have been saving some earnings for him and what if he comes back, takes the money and goes again
imo

Well, seeing as he's been officially declared dead now his estate has passed on to his family.

The chances of him actually being alive are so slim. I doubt it very much.

I wanna say I think he's still alive... but I'm kinda doubting it. :( When I'm feeling optimistic though I still think he's alive but... :/ Making me sad anyways...

Very good album :D I quite like all their albums really. Generation Terrorist has that old rock sound we thought we'd never hear again 'til the bloody darkness came along, Gold Against The Soul is pretty underrated, Holy Bible :) and Everything Must Go, quality album :D

do u know where i can download the old stuff, including Generation terrorist?? i have limewire but i can't get anything with it...

[Mneme]

I would just head to my nearest CD exchange and get some of the albums secondhand. It's worth it, I'm sure you could get them cheap, and you can always sell them back there if you don't like the music. That's not likely to happen, of course. The Manics are quality. :D

Definitely get the first three: Generation Terrorists, Gold Against the Soul, and The Holy Bible. That's the holy trinity IMHO. After that, Everything Must Go is worth grabbing.

Tell the truth, I'm not very good on the later records. I listen mostly to the first three. :p

Apparently a lot of critics (and some fans) are not too fond of Gold. I don't see why. It may not be as raw as GT, and not as radical as HB, but it's still great. Meh.

Album announcement + Live dates
Hello Miles

As we previously advised, we have been making music - to be more specific, we have been in Rockfield studio in Wales with Mr Steve Albini recording a new album, Journal For Plague Lovers.

All 13 songs on the new record feature lyrics left to us by Richey. The brilliance and intelligence of the lyrics dictated that we had to finally use them. The use of language is stunning and topics include The Grande Odalisque by Ingres, Marlon Brando, Giant Haystacks, celebrity, consumerism and dysmorphia, all reiterating the genius and intellect of Richard James Edwards.

The record is scheduled for release on 18th May and will be available on CD, deluxe 2 CD, download and LP.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

Peeled Apples
Jackie Collins Existential Question Time
Me and Stephen Hawking
This Joke Sport Severed
Journal For Plague Lovers
She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach
Facing Page: Top Left
Marlon J.D.
Doors Closing Slowly
All Is Vanity
Pretension/Repulsion
Virginia State Epileptic Colony
William’s Last Words

An original piece of Jenny Saville’s art is the cover for Journal for Plague Lovers, one of her paintings also graced the cover of 1994’s The Holy Bible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where abouts at Camdem?

Chalk Farm tube station and turn left I think

(I have been researching)

Yeah - pretty piss easy walk from the station to the venue really.

[binarysonnets]

There better still be tickets for this when I get home from work tomorrow. :mad:

[Velouria]

Chalk Farm tube station and turn left I think

(I have been researching)

Yep. It's also about five-ten minutes walk up the road from Camden Town if you are shopping or whatever.

[Velouria]

I'd advise getting tickets from the Roundhouse themselves as they are about £4 cheaper than See, and that's including a £3 donation to the centre.

[Gemsy]

WOW, four squid cheaper :stunned: These booking fees are so rip-offy. How much can it possibly cost to shove a ticket in an envelope ffs. It's probably automated anyway.

I know, it's a rip off. You don't even have to make a donation to the Roundhouse if you don't want to, but I did because it was still an absolute bargain.

So, I may see London peeps on Friday and Saturday (as long as the credit card purchases went through etc).

I'm glad you got one! :D

Cheers! I was at work earlier, feeling like death and justifying it to myself that I dont NEED to see the manics again. I mean, I have seen them before, and they were fantastic, and they played a lot of my favourite songs the times I've seen them, and I'm going to see white lies that month and I'm also going to reading fest this year...

And then I got tickets and I was like "FUCK THAT - MANICS? DO WANT!"

Me and my mum are going. She burst into tears and phoned up a load of people to tell them she was going. I think she's more excited than I am. :LOL:

I am pretty excited myself, and I've seen them a few times. I really love the Roundhouse too, it's got real character. The view is great unless you get stuck behind one of the pillars.

So then I'm just here listening to the end of bright eyes, and now this odd ass Yu-G-Oh song comes on and she changes it...I'm still sitting right next to me girlfriend and shes signing up fer muse, and now shes wandering around the webby, looking for a way to change her avatar... sorry, am I too revealing?..:stunned:

Just listened to it.

It doesn't sound like PiB,not in the slightest, which is a good thing.

As I said, only the first couple of seconds, when the riff kicks in.

[Gwyn]

Anyway, both songs I've heard sound great, can't wait to see them in Llandudno.

[khfreek]

I had a dream that I listened to the Manic Street Preachers and they were really good...

I'll check them out tonight ;)

[iamawesome]

Ahhhh I haven't heard JAckie Collins' Existential Question time yet

I'm loving Peeled Apples, though.

Yes, between 0:07-0:09. Sounds identical actually, I lol'd.

Right, according to a spamblast I got from the Manics mailing list, the upcoming shows will be in this format:

First half: James, Nicky and Sean playing through all tracks in the new album in full, in order
Second half: Favourites and rarities etc with a full band (not sure if that means orchestra or whatever), this section having a different set list each night.

Sounds interesting.

All I know is that they need to play Yes and She Is Suffering. :phu:

As long as they actually deliver their promise of "Springsteen-esque" long gigs, I shall be happy. I was annoyed when their last tour gigs only lasted a shade over 90 minutes :(

I can't even convey my jealousy. I am going to spontaneously combust all over the place some time during the next few months.

[Rockette147]

Very excited about Journal for Plague Lovers (they're releasing it on my birthday, which I think is very nice of them indeed).
Has anyone read the interview with them in Q? Nicky was so sweet about the folder of work Richey gave him. They all obviously miss him a lot, but they don't milk it or be drama queens about it. It's really touching.

[emzlilachouse]

Aye, is was very good. The extended edition on Friday night will probably have an extra song.

I suppose it depends where you want to be. The last gig I went to was Brixton Academy and the girls at the front of the queue had been there since about 6am. I think we showed up at about 10-11 and we got on the barrier.

[iamawesome]

I downloaded it. :$

I've only listened to it all the way through once, so some parts are still kind of blurred together in my mind, but my overall impression of it: niiiiiiiiiice.

[iamawesome]

Come on, isn't there anyone else who's downloaded JFPL and wants to talk about it? :p

[James.]

Journal For Plague Lovers is a reminder of just how brilliant a lyricist Richey James Edwards was. Superb album.
They sounded great on Later. Seeing them at the Roundhouse on May 29th, should be a good gig.

[Black Mamba]

Come on, isn't there anyone else who's downloaded JFPL and wants to talk about it? :p
Here I coooooooooooooome!

I listened to it only once so I don't an opinion right now.

[Max]

The Nicky Wire interview on Music Weekly (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/audio/2009/may/07/manic-street-preachers) is well worth listening to. He talks a lot about Richey, the album and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

[Gemsy]

I gave in and got it, haha. Nothing about it's got my attention yet, I think it's gonna take a few more listens. I'm listening to their b-sides haha. Prologue to History <3

The Wire's vocals on 'William's Last Words' actually don't sound bad at all, but thank god that he wasn't allowed near the mic on 'Marlon JD' or 'She Bathed Herself In a Bath of Bleach' for the finished album. He sounds awful (like normal) singing those songs as demos. :LOL:

I fell that way about pretty much all of the songs, it's just quintessentially Manic.

On a n00by note, Facing Page Top Left makes me think of Unintended from Wembley...just before he kicks into the chorus and strums down...:facepalm:
