The Manic Street Preachers album, that is.

 

What do you people think of it? It had something indescribably dark and not quite of this world about it that I've never heard anywhere else and don't think I will hear ever again. The kind of thing very few bands ever achieve.

 

Nevertheless, it frustrates me every time I listen to it as some of the songs just sound half-finished and makes me think that, what is IMO a really great album could have been the greatest of all time.

Have a rep. It really is a bleak, grim, awesome album.

 

Did you listen to Journal for Plague Lovers? I think it was the closest the manics have ever been to returning to THB, considering most of JFPL (all of it maybe?) was written by Richie.

 

I saw them in Liverpool Uni last year and they were fucking amazing, seen them 3 times now. They played a few tracks off THB; Faster and Yes, IIRC.

Yep, it's brilliant.

 

William's last words is one of the saddest things I've ever heard.

I've always had nothing but mild disdain for the Manics.

 

To be honest I haven't really listened to their music much, because I'm not really interested what a bunch of poetry-reading, angsty, overgrwon sixth-formers in eye-liner do musically.

 

I did laugh a bit when the skinny, dead one got all upset about what Steve Lamacq said about the band, and sliced his arm up.
