Format:Audio CD
As one of the few American fans of the Manics, I can say that I am impressed with this CD. I just bought a used copy of the CD today and have listened to it several times already. Sure, some may argue that it's reminiscent of 80's metal at least on this one (to me that is, specifically Guns N' Roses), but so what? With the loud guitars and drums and even lengthy guitar solos, the Manics sing and play with fierce passion and enthusiasm. It's too bad that Richey's not around to experience the great band they are today. This is the fourth CD I got from them (after buying their last three), and I will be receiving Generation Terrorists in the mail fairly soon! Only The Holy Bible is left. And oh yeah, I'm still trying to find a copy of "The Masses Against The Classes". And I got into the Manics only this year!

Classed by many as the Manics Heavy Metal album, its definatly heavy rock but i wouldnt say metal. It has perhaps the greatest opening track in history, followed in swift succession by the double whammy of From Despair to Where and La Tristesse. Arguably two of the manics greatest ever songs. This is the album you put on when working out or in the car. If you want some mellow moods, go listen to This is my truth. The boys prove once again that no music style can hold them and there is something for everyone

This, although not criticly aclaimed, is the one of the best Manic's albums, second to Generation Terrorists. It displays musical and lyrical brillance which the later Manics Generation have missed in This is My Truth Tell Me Yours and is evidently more optimisic than The Holy Bible. As an ardent Manic's fan I can obviouisly see that Nicky Wire wrote most of the lyrics on this album and he is trying to use the same quiotic imaigry as Richey but failing. Also, there is added sentimentaity in this album for Cult Of Richey followers because this release features the only Richey guitar part ever recorded (i.e La Tristessa Durea)
Go Buy! You wont be dissapointed

A sigh to a scream and everything in between
At the time it was released this album alienated a load of those who wanted more politicised glam ala Generation Terrorists. Read more

A vastly underrated Manics' album!
Honestly, I read everywhere that this album doesn't live up to their other works, but it's just as good and I'm glad I gave this one a chance -- amazing!

Shiny but pleasing ear-candy

Not up to the usual Manics standard but still brilliant!
As an avid fan and collector of the Manic Street Preachers, I must say that this is probably their worst album - it's much too short (after the 18 track debut it leaves you feeling... Read more
