Manic Street Preachers

[inn]

Holy Bible era, what more can I say? :)

[Tywyllwch]

Holy Bible era, what more can I say? :)

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

[Is]

They're the best band in the world :D Well, them and MUSE. Or no, Manics are a little bit better. a little...

[Krasnojarsk]

Generation Terrorist is by far the best album...at least I fink so...

[Apocalypse King]

I like everything the manics have done!! Even all the more recent stuff.. I thought This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours was a great album! Their old stuff is amazing too :)

[Splee Prozack]

Dully impressed...

I thought they were going to rock my socks... but only certain songs did. Others faded.
I absolutely ADORE;
If you Tolerate this then your Children will be Next
Everything Must Go
A Design for Life

and a few others are cool, but a little in consistant in my opinion.

Splee.

Recent stuff has a more grown up sound to it. Prefer the earlier stuff tho, ah a band i'd wished i could have seen back in those days...

[doddy]

Has there been any more news on the new album??

[little troll]

I've been their big, crazy fan for ages, so crazy that I went from Poland to Wales to see them live, and not just once but twice, not to mention other gigs in England. However their latest stuff disappoints me. Songs like Door To The River, There By The Grace of God or Forever Delayed don't mean anything to me.

I'm a little affraid of a new album. They recorded 10 songs or something, and I heard some rumours the songs don't sound like Manics...

[HardKore]

I was a big fan of the Manics until their post- This is my truth, tell me yours, albums. Their best album was easily The Holy Bible (Revol and Faster are my faves.) Design for life and Gold Against the Soul was awesome and underrated. But their recent stuff sounded like their were ready for retirement. Which is a shame as they are a good band..... :(
Masses against the Classes, what a tune!!

[inn]

Has there been any more news on the new album??

a new album? thats news to me

[Gemsy]

I was a huge Manics fan... until they went Dadrock on us. :\

[mally]

Generation Terrorist is by far the best album...at least I fink so...

I agree with that. ..although....the following few albums are still brillianté too. *swoons*
Godly.

[Matthew]

Judge Yr'self :cool:

[Larsen B]

ive just realised how much i like them by listening just now, ive yet to hear the older stuff but if Judge YrSelf is anything to go by i'll like it :cool:

my mum loves them also,

[kev]

are there any holy bible b-sides floating about the net? on lipstick traces there was only like judge yr-self from that sort of era (i love james' apocolyptic period of music) and i want more the holy bible isn't enough.

[Madbob]

winmx and kazza(if it's still going) will have lots of them.

Probable the ones i'm sharing!

Muse and manics are about the only bands i like that always make great b-sides!

Best era was probably more recent IMO, they were trying to hard earlier stuff...

Hb was great though... EMG and TIMTTMY rawk! as does the first two ablums :p KYE was... ok

[Larsen B]

ive got a strange urge to listen to Wattsville Blues over and over.....its great fun!! :D

[Britrock]

I finally went out and got 4 of their albums and they're amazing. Gold Against the Soul is slowly turning into one of my favourite albums ever and Holy Bible, Everything Must Go and This is my Truth... are damn good as well.

I hope they announce to play one of the main festivals in the summer (well, V or Reading actually). I can't make it to the Isle of Wight. :(

I'm not sure that they will, they're working on the 7th album at the moment. Though they should be touring it next year :cool: ,
I can't believe the albums were sat here in my mums collection for so long and not i've listened to them until recently.... :rolleyes:

The Holy Bible is definitive though and should be listened to by all, also get the dvd of them live at the millenium stadium on the millenium new years eve, its truly awesome!

[DistortionRox]

the holy bible and gold against the soul are my favourites at the moment, die in the summertime, and yourself are probably my most favourite manics songs, i cant understand why people hate know your enemy so much. forever delayed definately needed she is suffering, roses in the hospital and let robeson sing on it.

[Larsen B]

Know Your Enemy is good for the most part, Ocean Spray is beautiful, but sometimes the lyrics are a bit pointless like Intravenous Agnostic what's that all about then? :confused:

nicky wire thinks differently
from www.manicsonline.com :
INTRAVENOUS AGNOSTIC - Spiky Guitars and distorted vocals. One of the first lyrics written and "Sums up the album a lot", says Nicky Wire. "It's about maximum intake of reality. Sometimes this album is literally too much lyrically and that's what's good about it."

yes but he wrote it so he would know what it's on about,

Intravenous Agnostic literally means "into the veins, im undecided" or something along those lines, it's still a good song i just don't know what the hell he's on about :LOL:

[mental-masturbation]

Everything Must Go and Know Your Enemy are my favourite albums of theirs. I go through periods when I love them and periods when I'm not so bothered. Recently though, I dug out Know Your Enemy and I'm now obsessed - it is such a good rock album.

Lipstick Traces too........I don't understand why Prologue To History and Judge Yr'self - two of their best songs in my opinion - were both B-sides. Especially considering that Prologue.... was a B-side to a single from This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours, which is comfortably their worst album.

[psykokandy]

Interesting. I'm one of those "die hard" Manics fans in many ways, but absolutely hated Know Your Enemy. Like someone else posted, I'm seriously scared to hear their new stuff. I was unfortunately privy to live screenings of "forever delayed" and as much as I tried to like it, I just couldn't. I've heard a live version of "Everything Will Be", another new Manics song that was debuted at Glastonbury last year, and um... Yeah, I'd expect better from the Sugababes. I'd like to say that maybe a "change in sound" would be a good thing, but the Manics are one of those bands for whom it was never "just" about the music. Their style and their politics were integral to why I loved them so much and now they're just skeletons of all that. I understand that they're older and settled with kids (!), but the public apathy towards politics is disappointing.

Hm, I could write an essay on this, so I'll stop now..

Yeah i can understand that, though if the music they produce next is good without having to rant about politics then i'll be happy enough. I think they've vented most of their spleen, but who knows they could be revitalised and raring to go again.

I'd like to de-rail the thread quickly and introduce you to Kinesis. Click on the pic in my sig and you'll go their site. Politico-punk, massive Manics fans, and the debut albums great.

And I'll agree with the person that said This is my Truth... is the worst album (although I haven't got Know Your Enemy), it just doesn't have the song quality...

[Larsen B]

having said that The Everlasting and If You Tolerate... are two of their best songs i think,
you should get Know Your Enemy its an eclectic mix of pretty much all their previous stuff musically,
Ocean Spray...phwoar!

[kev]

judge yr'self wasn't really a b-side, as far as i know it wasn't released at all until lipstick traces. it was meant to be on the soundtrack to judge dread which the band were working on at the time of richie's disappearance.

I would, but HMV never has it. :( I keep meaning to check our other record store (yes, we only have 2, how shit is that?) but keep forgetting on the rare occasions I go into town.

[Larsen B]

gah well there's only one in Barnsley which is where im usually at and it's a helluvva walk to get there

[Black Mamba]

just love them

[DistortionRox]

in my opinion it goes:
THE HOLY BIBLE
EVERYTHING MUST GO
GOLD AGAINST THE SOUL
GENERATION TERRORISTS / KNOW YOUR ENEMY
THIS IS MY TRUTH

[librariesgaveuspower]

wow. reading through everyone's comments..they are much nicer than the stuff you'll find on the actual manics board....barely anyone respects them anymore and few will admit to liking the newer stuff...especially know your enemy.


aw, manic street preachers. gorgeous band. :D

aw, manic street preachers. gorgeous band. :D

Its the same here, most of the 'original' muse fans dislike Absolution, i guess it's just the stage at when you get into them you don't want them to change....or something like that...

[Black Mamba]

If you Tolerate this then your Children will be Next

that song is just wicked!!!

anyway my fav album is :forever deleyed!
anyone knows a site for downloadin' it?

[librariesgaveuspower]

Its the same here, most of the 'original' muse fans dislike Absolution, i guess it's just the stage at when you get into them you don't want them to change....or something like that...


haha. silly fans. i see nothing wrong with progression.

a lot of manics fans were like....ugh we want guitar solos!!! and all this junk that they did back with generation terrorists/holy bible..but they have to remember that the manics are much older than when the holy bible came out...i mean...gee..that was ten years ago. i'm glad they aren't still making records like the holy bible...i mean...yeah..its a fucking brillant album....but if they kept doing the same thing...blah.

cheers to the manics and nicky wire who is perfection.

haha...sorry...but showbiz--it is why i started to like muse, i mean its a good album..and anything matt sings is beauty..but in comparison to everything else they have released since then...it really is on such a lower level.

matt's lyrics on showbiz make me giggle...he's getting much better.

cheers to matt.

[Larsen B]

exactly, the manics have grown up, they've new things to worry about now

anyway, i completed my collection today with Gold Against The Soul...it's good on first listening, i'm not sure it beats The Holy Bible yet, but each to their own :p

lots of lovely twiddly solos though!

[DistortionRox]

i have all the studio albums and the louder than war dvd

are any of the following worth getting?:
lipstick traces (cd)
everything live (dvd)
leaving the 20th century (dvd)
forever delayed (dvd)

[Larsen B]

forever delayed (dvd)

ooh Lipstick Traces definately! if only for Judge Yr'self and Prologue to History..there are some good b-sides on it.

Leaving the 20th century also is a must, it's a great live dvd with a great tracklisting, if you like Louder Than War you'll love this.

Forever Delayed i dont have but it's all of the videos they've ever made i think, im thinking of getting it, just depends how much you're into the videos.

I'm not sure about t'other, i've never seen it.

nice! actually....gold against the soul is my least favorite manics album. the singles are great and so is drug drug druggy..but everything else...is meh.

but its the manics...so wooooooo!

i just put in everything must go today--i haven't listened to it in ages---i forgot how much i love them. it's always nice to rediscover your favorites.

i did the same with kid a...oh man...manics+radiohead..


the only thing that could make that better is to add a bit of muse.

bam. my favorite three right there...actually two..becuase i consider manics and radiohead on the same level...

and i just gave you a lot of pointless information about myself... :o

[librariesgaveuspower]

i have all the studio albums and the louder than war dvd

are any of the following worth getting?:
lipstick traces (cd)
everything live (dvd)
leaving the 20th century (dvd)
forever delayed (dvd)


get it all!!!!!!

i have basically everything. the dvds i don't have orginals...someone taped them and i bought them on ebay...but i have not seen the forever delayed dvd...but i have seen most of their videos..so...yes get it all!

everything live is great just becuase you get to see nicky putting on makeup!

woop woop sea green!

[Black Mamba]

plz this album:
http://img45.photobucket.com/albums/v138/kaddyhoward/264058.gif

[DistortionRox]

forever delayed is missing waaay too many songs to be the greatest hits, it needs roses in the hospital, slash n burn, she is suffering, revol and let robeson sing on it for a start, ahh if only die in the summertime were a single eh?:rolleyes:

[Jes]

Yeah, die in the summertime is such a great song, all the songs on Gold against the Soul and the Holy Bbile seem worthy enough to be singles to me anyway though! But Forever Delayed always seemed to have too many songs on it that didn't need to be on it, its too.. erm.. big to get people into the manics.. or so i thought
Manics = :D

[inn]

Has anyone heard much acoustic versions by them?

Or am I the only one who went on a crazy acoustic manics dling spree ages ago :D

If anyone gets a chance the everylasting acoustic is just gorgeous to listen to...(excuse me for being an acoustic fan ;) )

Oh and I still think holy bible owns all :D

[DistortionRox]

[librariesgaveuspower]

that album is amazing..as are all manics albums ;)

[Larsen B]

yeah tis great, i've gotta admit though Gold Against The Soul is fast becoming a favourite of mine!

woah i've jsut noticed you're from America, there aren't many fans out that way i'd imagine...

[librariesgaveuspower]

hehe. gold against the soul is my least favorite...of course still fantastic...cos...it is the manics.

haha..yup...silly little amercian me. i'm in love with uk/british music..whatever you call it...i'm also a sucka for all that sweet birt stuff...like travis and what not..hehe.

but yeah...no manics fans here..only me and my best friend..actually we just had part one of manic mania summer 2004.

haha.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

ain't bad?

that album is amazing..as are all manics albums ;)

[DistortionRox]

just heard one of the new ones (empty souls) played at the isle of wight festival, with some other live tracks n videos from it, at www.staybeautiful.net definately worth checking out

[Cork_Muse_Person]

Great band(enough said), empty souls is a bit dissapointing, the piano's cool. I wish they put yes on.

Cheers

[librariesgaveuspower]

cha! the piano bit in empty souls is good!

i wanna here the other song they played live..something..solititude..oe whatever...according the the nme it was accepted very well.

and has anyone seen some new pictures of them? nicky is furry-faced with short hair..and he has gained some weight...

however..it's the wire..so he will always be gorgeous to me :p


*sighs*

i want the new album to come out...only i hope they don't name it 'life blood' or 'goodbye suicide'

that's just crap.

[Evalia]

I have only heard 4-5 songs. And they are ok :)

[Jale]

My friends saw them at the weekend at the Isle of Wight festival.

Though not in their best oh so spunky eyelinner era but still...one of the bands I want to see live before I die...

[inn]

Did I just say 'spunky'? oh man I need some sleep...

Oh I want a a poster of the band in their holy bible era too, I'd seen one aggges ago when looking at uni houses in someones room and just thought 'I want! I want!' But I can't find it anywhere yet..

[nirvana-chaka]

One word "Australia"

[blissboy]

I must admit, also manics are an amazing band, and again i slightly love them alittle more, but only becasue i have been a fan alot longer...i also agree generation terrorist is the best album and my fave debut album of all time!
but thats my opinion!!

ive seen them and met them so many times and everytime its better and better! i gotta meet muse!

anyoone fancy a chat bout manics or muse email me : dave_eyoung@hotmail.com

[nirvana-chaka]

Wow, so love to meet those dudes! Good for you, kiddo! :D

[DistortionRox]

bought the leaving the 21st century dvd the other day, awesome, especially the holy bible tracks, cant wait to see them on the new album tour and/or maybe that holy bible special re-release gig at the astoria

[mally]

Anyone else hear the new single for the first time on Radio One this morning? Not..at all... what I was expecting. Still kinda in shock.

oh oh oh I want to know...what sorta style is? And is it actually any good?

[mally]

oh oh oh I want to know...what sorta style is? And is it actually any good?

I'm kinda meh about it. It wasn't rubbish, but it wasn't good either; simply lodged in the middle. Think Pet Shop Boys. Synths in chorus. They haven't utilised James' voice at all. Jo Whiley raved about a few other tracks on the album, neither of which were Empty Souls (that's a fantastic track!) so I still hold out hope. The Manics aren't always conventional in the way they release singles -'Revol' being the first from 'The Holy Bible', for example- and therefore, what with all the talk of this album being a return to their previous sound, they could be releasing this oddity as it's the furthest away from what they've previously done and another side to them.

Hmm, intriguing, I think I'd just buy the album when it comes out and see how it goes from there. I haven't heard any of their new stuff yet so I'd just have to see...

Hmm the only date I can find is a belfast one :indiff:

i think you get sent a link on the manics mailing list for presale, they go on general sale tomorrow

As for the new song I've not heard it but I have got the B-Side for it, they played it at Glastonbury last year and it's kinda alright, a bit like how you described this new song really. Though Empty Souls is much better i think. :happy:

edit/ I've just found the new song, it's umm......lite, i like it but it's just not got the urgency has it....

[DistortionRox]

my mates and i are buying our tickets for nottingham tonight, should be good, i'm prayin they play a big chunk of the holy bible, especially if they are re-releasing it as they said. i do hope the new album is good, i ove empty souls n solitude sometimes is is good too, the love of richard nixon has grown on me n seems pretty ok now, but its just not them, it seems kinda average n not really 1st single material, empty souls would have good too, but hey this is ok, not GREAT but ok, im expecting good things of Life Blood though...

[inn]

*looks at dates*

Hmmm....they're playing the nec...though the date is pretty late and I might be home....so should I go to the notts one instead?

*thinks*

[inn]

i think you get sent a link on the manics mailing list for presale, they go on general sale tomorrow


Actually if anyone has the link to the presale could they by any chance pm me it, as I won't be able to order anything till afternoon, and I recon they'd go fast....

[Larsen B]

Aww Razorlight as support? :stunned:
and Hope Of The States supporting at Brighton? :(

I know who's supporting doesn't really matter but I want to go to Brighton!
Rather than suffer Johnny -'look-at-me'- Borrell's lot.

No worries! Glad to be of use. :D

I'm going to Mancunia, it should be excellent so long as they're not out just to play this new album. I want to hear lots of old stuff too! :happy:

I recon they'd obv play alot of the new stuff, but yea I want to hear lots of old stuff too :( holy bible!! <3

[Larsen B]

Indeed, i think they'll probably play Faster and possibly Of Walking Abortion...A Design For Life, You Love Us and Motown Junk are probable as well. :happy:
Depends whether they're really trying to push this album or are just gonna rely on the existing fanbase and therefore play more old than new. Though we'll have to see how good this new album is first as well. :cool:

[Velouria]

I have my ticket for Wembley. :D

I recon they'll atleast do the favs, though as someone mentioned they're rereleasing thb so they might play more off it. I do think they'll push the new stuff actually...

[Larsen B]

yeah, either way it'll be good I'm sure :cool:

and I hope this re-release does come out, there's talk of it not coming out now, I'm a bit confused about it

Yep it'd be enjoyable eitherway :) I actually do hope they do some acoustic versions. Acoustic of the everlasting would be just beautiful.

Whats all this talk about the rerelease not coming out?

[kev]

did i hear right a while ago about a holy bible special edition? it all seems very dreamy in my mind i hope i didnt make it up. anyone know much on it. hmm i suppose i could of searched the web but erm

[inn]

oooh:)
official news from the manics site (been removed for some reason now but this was there, n boy is it good news)

The band are also planning a special 10th Anniversary addition of The Holy Bible including a never released American remix, a DVD and a special show at The Astoria.


all sounds promising to me

Found this in the thread so it wasn't just a dream :)

[kev]

oooh nice finding. god that was lazy of me when it was already here. :$
i hope there's lots of unseen/unheard stuff. wonder when thats gonna come out.

[inn]

I just knew I'd read it somewhere in here :D I already have a copy of tho, sooo if they do rerelease it'll depend on the extras to whether I buy it

[kev]

i've already accepted that i inevitably will buy it whatever even if i know its not a brilliant package. its those darn words special edition. i'm such a sucker of a consumer :rolleyes:

[inn]

Hehe, speaking of special edition, the release timing of the grace re-release was pretty good because I was going to buy it anyway.

It's also depend on how much they're charging for it, they can ask for something stupid like 15/16 quid for it :rolleyes: though that can be solved by ordering off the web I suppose :D

(oh yea rils made your guitar a thread in the love boat btw hehe)

[kev]

awwwwwwwww wow. *runs to check it out*

[PlugMeInBaby]

it's my current favourite band!
i love almost all the songs and all the albums are great.
my favourite manics song are 'the everlasting' and 'you stole the sun from my heart'

[Decades]

An electro-pop song about Richard Nixon was not... expected.

Yeah, favourite album is The Holy Bible, not too keen on the latest stuff. Still looking with interest at this new one though.

I often hear the weird stuff... Uh huh. The voices!

Ah, that reminds me of something my friend did to me a couple of months ago. She bedecked me in full eye make-up, some lipstick then refused to wash it off before I walked the five miles home... Christ I got some odd looks.

[blissboy]

I got my tickets for the manchester date of the life blood tour, and as a BIG BIG fan of the manics, id like to point out to everyone who is hoping that they will play alot of their old stuff, they did this on the greatest hits tour...which was wat the greatest hits tour was all about! this tour is to promote the new album so they are not guna play a full set consisting of holy bible tracks, which i guess alot of ppl wud love, its a tour for a new album so therfore thats wat they are goin to be playing, a large portion of the album.

Ive been a fan of the manics for almost 10yrs, and have seen them a few times, id just like to point out that when they do promote a new album they will play most of it live 4the 1st time, as they did with knw ur enemy, emg,timttmy etc..iwas lucky to b at the 1st gig they played after comin bck frm cuba and they did play a large portion of kye, including miss europa diso dancer and a few others thay have rarely done since. Please dont expect a set full of all old manics stuff cos it aint guna happen, especially with this new cd comin out, but i can probably guaruntee they will do the popular singles like design,you stole the sun,you love us, motorcyle, kevin carter maybe, ocean spray, tolerate etc and may throw in a few faves 4 the older and more die hard fans, me being an obssesive 1,lol...

ill be at the MEN havina gr8 night, ill also prob be waitin afterwards to meet them again, ive luckily met em everytime ive seen em so im guna try my hardest to do so again,lol...if any 1 wants to meet up with me and my mate drop me a pm and we cud meet up or sumthig

[inn]

^

Ah but it's nice to hope for it ;) Oh and since you've seen them before quite alot by looks do they do alot of acoustic versions of tracks?

[blissboy]

Yeah, it is something to hope for, although there are alot of ppl who love the hb, i particularly preffer generation terrorists, best debut album ive ever heard, i love the rawness and unorganised feeling. yes wen ive seen them they have often played acoustic songs, well james only, usually nicky and sean go off and james comes on 2do a couple of acoustics.

they dne many over the years like last christmas, faster, baby elian, black dog, little baby nothing etc..

which one u goin to 2?

[DistortionRox]

im goin 2 notts arena n just praying they play faster, yes and die in the summertime at some point
i've heard studio versions of 3 songs from the nwe album, thechange in direction took me back abit but they're growing n me n now im quite looking foward to it, shame empty souls isnt quite as heavy as it was live at iow but tis still pretty damn good.

Yea I like the rawness of things sometimes (the reason why sometimes I prefer showbiz to OOS to give an example), but I just love the darkness of the lyrics and vocal style in thb...I don't know its just such a great album

Yay acoustic <3 I heard a mp3 of the everylasting acoustic and its just so nice.

I'm going to the one at NEC in birmingham

[Larsen B]

Faster acoustic sounds interesting.... :unsure:
normal Faster would be just as much appreciated though!

[Larsen B]

Found these surfing around, it's up to you if you wanna hear them..
I dunno if they'll work because it's not my web thing, I've just kersnaffled links from another forum. If they don't work I'll send em on MSN to anybody who asks. :unsure:

Empty Souls (studio) (http://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=8AE94E5A67C718460001771DA3EC3D39)

Glasnost (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=7B172AA8528DD011D09676CA8E366275)

There were links to Everything Will Be and Richard Nixon but I can't find them now.
Empty Souls is terrific still, great lyrics too, you can also find it live at www.staybeautiful.net . :cool:

Will do. :happy:

[DistortionRox]

i prefer the live version of empty souls played at IOW, just seemed faster n punchier, the guitar was more present, but i like the studio version too
The Love of Richard Nixon really does grow on u believe me, i hated it at first but after much intensive listening i now quite like it
Glastnost is good too
there'll never be another holy bible or EMG but i think this album could be their best since EMG, but i do like KYE in which i think i am alone
but yeah i like the sound of this album n the lyrics have improved, im excited

[Matthew]

The Kaiser Chiefs single is better

[Larsen B]

Pfft! whatever Trevor :p
--
As for it being the best album in a while, I'm not sure, I do like them all. This Is My Truth is critically acclaimed but underrated by Manics fans, kinda like Absolution is. TIMT is great, it's very open and soul baring. KYE was not quite up there, but still had some great material. Most manics fans want them to reproduce their finest work and they're never gonna do that, what would be the point.

[Britrock]

TIMTTMY is the worst Manics album I own, and I'm only missing Know Your Enemy. GATS kicks major ass. I don't really "get" Holy Bible...

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Oh yes- I got Gold Against The Soul.
I wuv it. :happy:
I'm doing my nut trying to remember what I heard La Tristessa Durera in, though...

[DistortionRox]

TIMTTMY is the worst Manics album I own, and I'm only missing Know Your Enemy. GATS kicks major ass. I don't really "get" Holy Bible...
TIMTTMY has a few classic tracks on it (if you tolerate..., the everlasting, ready for drowning etc) but most of it as a whole bores me to tears
The Holy Bible is pretty much Flawless in my eyes
GATS is lovely, superslick and full of attitude

[inn]

Hmm I think I'm not going to spoil myself and await the release of the album so I can listen to it all together how it should be. I think I spoiled myself too much for absolution so hence I didn't get the kick out of it like I did with OOS

THB would be in nr the top of my fav/bestest albums ever :D

[kev]

that new track sounded a bit rubbish. hmm. i always moan about new manics stuff. moaney me.

[Matthew]

but that track is diabolical

[Larsen B]

TIMTTMY is the worst Manics album I own, and I'm only missing Know Your Enemy. GATS kicks major ass. I don't really "get" Holy Bible...

TIMT is only bad because it's the Manics, other than that it's good. It takes a while but now I love it, it's just right to listen to in the dark early hours.

[Larsen B]

umm i dunno, sell it on Ebay? 'mine' will go back to my mum's cd collection :happy:

Or even keep it, the actual album maybe remastered or something and sound different, it could even be the Canadian edit which had more production on it.

[inn]

Good point about the remastered thing. Pfft no one would appriciate such an album, not anyone I know anyway..and the people who would already have it. So I can't give it away...

[kev]

its the american mix apparantly. i'm not sure what that means. my original copy will just be a spare copy to listen too and take to places and then i can try keep the cover nice of this as one as my original looks like its been to hell and back.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Ooooo.... :happy: but twenty quid though! pfft...
Twenty quid nuffin! Well worth it. *does conversion* Still worth it. :happy:

November 1st, according to manics.co.uk

[DistortionRox]

i've downloaded lifeblood, there are no rock outs on it realy but its so damn good, probably their best since EMG, it pretty impressive guys, no real fillers, each song a classic n very well produced

But i'm not too keen on what i've heard so far...

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I found this (http://www.freewebs.com/robnd/) site most amusing.
But I didn't think non-Manics fans would appreciate it.

One thing- That's the real reason why Liam (Gallagher) kissed Nicky that night at the Brits! Say what? O_o

[librariesgaveuspower]

I can get the album downloaded off a mate already.... Think theres download links about somewhere.

But i'm not too keen on what i've heard so far...

lifeblood is most excellent, however i don't think it's really an album you can love straight off the back...it took me a couple of listens to fully adore it.

each song gets better with every listen....especially 'a song for departure' and 'solitude sometimes is'

which i believe are my favorites...as of now :cool:

and just because it can be said again...the nixon masks are quite scary...

[manic_ash]

loves the manics so much too!! huge fan here <--

i agree that newer stuff like door to the river & foreve delayed wasn't that brilliant, holy bible what an album my faveourite song of it being : ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfa llapart

also love no surface all feeling off everything must go,

anyone here going to see them on the next tour?? i am in plymouth :LOL: :) :cool:

[librariesgaveuspower]

no surface all feeling could be my favorite manics song...

but being a big fan and all you must know how hard it is to choose :p

For Those of you who haven't heard their new Single 'The Love Of Richard Nixon' Then you simply must! It really is quite a good song.

And for all those waiting on the new album i recommended it! I downloaded it earlier today and thought it was so good that im even going to buy it now i've already downloaded it.

I hope they have more UK dates after the release of the album, next year maybe?

Your sig is both hilarious and slightly terrifying. :D

Does anyone know if The Intense Humming Of Evil was based on a specific camp?

[Larsen B]

I'm not sure any specifics, but I did read they went to Dachau once. Which is strangley enough quite near Munich! :D
Tis a haunting place though.

Finally got my copy of lifeblood this weekend :D Havent heard much of it as go distracted by my other arrival of jeff buckley live in sin-e :unsure:

[minor69er]

hey, was just wondering, is anyone one else from here a Manic Street preachers fan? and if so are you seeing them on their next tour?

also, very important, me and my friends are making manics t-shirts for the gig on december 9th (Wembly), and I am at a loss as what I should paint on mine?

i've decided to go for "Methadone Pretty" sprayed on the front in Generation-Terrorists stylie, and i want to put some random manics lyric/qoute on the back. I was thinking about "self disgust is selfobsession" as a possibility, but what do you think is the best manics quote? my t-shirt is riding on this...

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Culture Slut is the clear choice.

You could go with most lines from IfWhiteAmerica, really...

[Velouria]

I'm seeing them on the 9th.

There is always "Useless generation", "Dumb flag scum", and my favourite "questions are not blasphemy"

[Larsen B]

Make em up! it's more fun!

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Tipper Gore was a friend of mine.

New MSN name sorted. :D

[Tilbert]

seeing em in december
with razorlight -falls over-

[DistortionRox]

seein them on the 11th, i was thinking :
"WE DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE..."
"WHO'S RESPONSIBLE...?" THEN ON BACK "...YOU FUCKING ARE"
"FASTER"
"EVERYTHING MUST GO"
"SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS SAY YES"
"I LIVE TO FALL ASLEEP..."
as possible shirt slogans, in red and white of course

[Velouria]

"I am purity, they call me perverted" is good (an MSN name favorite of mine).

[Black Mamba]

wheres aled?

[Larsen B]

*is here*

:D

If i had one I'd have "libraries gave us power" or perhaps, "condemn it to it's future, deny it's history"

"fascinated by good, destroyed by evil, what is there to believe in"
*instrumental*
:happy:

[Black Mamba]

liked their single?

[Larsen B]

the album was pretty good.

[Black Mamba]
