Though it's certainly lighter in tone than anything that was on THB
Info on the new Manics Album below.
Some of the titles are brilliant at least!!

I particularly like the title..
She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I got to hear the full album during the week - its brilliant.
Theres an urgency and spikiness to the band that has been missing for years - of course the lyrics are fantastic and the band have really conjured up some great music to accompany them.
Its got far more going for it than Holy Bible part II, though.
Literally too much going on in the record to summarise - best discovered for yourself anyway!!!

It's not The Holy Bible Part II, but some excellent lyrics by Richie and some fantastic tracks in there. 'Pretension/Repulsion' 'Peeled Apples' and 'All Is Vanity' are my highlights. Even the Nicky Wire sung 'William's Last Words' is affecting despite the fact that his voice is woeful. Great album.
by the way on 'Peeled Apples' the chorus sounds strangely like 'Temptation' Heaven 17 to me!

Favourite tracks at the moment:Originally Posted by Pauro 76
Jackie Collins Existential Question Time, Me and Stephen Hawking,
She Bathed Herself in a Bath of Bleach,Pretension/Repulsion,
Virginia State Epileptic Colony.
Nicky Wire's vocal is abysmal on "Williams Last Words" alright - the sentiment in the lyrics and the emotive delivery covers up its failings, I think.
Spot on re Peeled Apples chorus. Wouldn't surprise me if its deliberate!!

As a big THB fan I'm really looking forward to this , Has gotten really good reviews so far
Heading along to this on Thursday. Should be a good gig!!

Anyone else wanting to go to the gig pm me. I have 2 free tickets (well guest list rather than actual tickets) that I wont be able to use and none of my family or friends can make it either so they are up for grabs.
