Any other fans of The Manics out there? Please? I've recently "re-discovered" them, and am going insane with the lack of a person to talk about them with.
Your love aloneeeeeee is not enough, not enough, not enoughhh.

"When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.”
Your ritual everyday
A mild shower soak in aftershave
Best clothes do your best
Look in the mirror go on
Belittle yourself yourself yourself
Belittle yourself yourself yourself
You go on day after day
Dreaming on a lie
That you keep locked inside
Of yourself, Yourself, Yourself
Can you sleep tonight
Cast aside for some pouting young pup
Sink into a slurred veneer
Alcoholic haze so now
Least you can like yourself yourself
Least you can like yourself yourself
You go on day after day
Reservoirs of guilt
That your fixed grin always hides
And yourself, yourself, yourself
Of yourself
You look at ad's all day
Everyone is perfect and you're so lame
Free scent burns your skin
But no smell can really cover sin
Too many teenage holes to fill
Too many teenage holes to fill
You go on day after day
Speak to your despised
Blanking your loved ones
And yourself
Or the short answer, the Manics were ace, and still have moments of brilliance
I know what you mean about moments of brilliance. I think their more recent stuff kind of lost some...I don't know. Some of their essence, I guess. But still pretty damn good!
Some of there songs are quite pretentious, but there are some great classics, design for life, Yes, Suicide is Painless, Sleepflower, and Nobody Loves you. Everyone has a taste, but there's something in the songs I can link to, that most people who don't know the history of the Manics and Richey Edwards don't see.
i like the manics same just recently discovered there new album and wow its still cool as but not as cool as when richey james was in the band lol
Peace Love And Good Happiness Stuff

"i'd rather hate you for everything you are, than ever love you for something you are not, i'd rather you hate me for everything i am than have you love me love me for something i can't BE!"
I love them, but I dont listen to them or other bands like that anymore. But this has made me want to dig out their CDs.
Hmm..
Of we go! *goes hunting*
I love them so much! some of the newer albums like this is my truth are pretty poor but i love their oloder stuff - Holy Bible is utterly perfect, an awesome album that i never get sick of!

I've only heard a few tracks from Send Away The Tigers, and tbh I thought they were really...mundane? The Holy Bible is fantassssssssstic, although I think that's already been established :P
But yeah, grace,Sean (if that's not his name, let's just keep calling him that anyway!) seems really stand-offish. I was watching an interview the other day where Richey and Nicky did all the talking. Literally, all of the talking. James and Sean sat there, looking fed up and bored.
