"a stunning debut album from the best band in the world! I can't say anything that hasn't already been said except "we love you!" Genius and creativity at its best!"
"this really did change my life! Steve Hogarth brought a much-needed spirituality to the band and his lyrics here are as good as they get. An awesome musical and emotional journey. Listen to it loud..."
"the album which brought the Manics' first no. 1 single. Thought provoking and mesmersing lyrics by the inimitable Nicky Wire. Few bands have had the balls to make such a strong political statement."
"Jeff Buckley is one of the music industry's best kept secrets. This album is as close to perfection as you can get musically. The world lost a beautiful soul when Jeff tragically drowned."
"Takes my breath away every time I hear it. The Lepps have suffered great tragedies and still manage to come up with wonderful albums. Hugely important in my life."
