Product Description

CD Description

A band who can be as heavy as Metallica and as poppy as Simple Minds is no mean feat. The Manics fit the bill, with James Bradfield's stretched tonsils never having to resort to ascream to fill in for some words, such as "wooooahhhh" or "yeahhhhhhhh". Bradfield never wastes a second, because he has a lot to say, and that is what makes the Manics a bit different from the pack; their lyrics are bitingly good, even the ones shrouded in mystery; at least they are interesting. Particular attention can be paid to "Life Becomes A Landslide" and the observant title track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant album and value for money, 11 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gold Against the Soul (Audio CD)
Wowww! What can I say? This has to be one of the best rock albums I have ever bought! A great piece of work from argubaly the worlds greatest band, with songs such as 'La Tristesse' and 'Roses in the Hospital' to the brilliant 'Sleepflower'. This is definetly the sort of album you listen to when you're on your own in the car or at home. Fantastic, a definite 5 star award from me!

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD oozes class and insouciance, 8 Jan 2001
By are-empty "rawseagull" (Dorset, England.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold Against the Soul (Audio CD)
Some of the most superior songs by this band are here entrenched. You must sit and listen to the lyrics on this album so that the sculptured musical backdrop complements and does not dictate the overall feel. At least as dark as the follow-up, this I find has a larger palette of emotions to offer, and in places it is very facetious. All the tracks are engaging, managing to be artificial and honest simultaneously. Favourite songs include 'Sleepflower', which is tremendously pretty, the vitriolic 'Roses In The Hospital' and 'Nostalgic Pushead' which, as well as having a classic title, also contains some striking statements about decadence and consumerism e.g. 'I am the raping sunglass gaze of sweating man and escort agencies'. This is a CD that should be treasured and, like most of the Manics' work - even the more recent, less essential albums - there's nothing quite like it. Quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant , unrecognised and underated, 11 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gold Against the Soul (Audio CD)
Let me start of by commenting on the brilliance of the album. Most of my freinds never knew this album, or even the holy bible and Generation terrorists , evan existed, and where limited to the two post richie albums (not that these arent good) . Beutiful guitaring, lyrics and melodies. Scream to a sie is my favourite song with from despair to where coming a close second.Top banana

5.0 out of 5 stars A vastly underrated Manics' album!
