Manic Street Preachers returned as a three piece in 1996. The single, 'A Design For Life' hailed the (ever-decreasing) capabilities of the British welfare system, with its opening line, "libraries gave us power ". A tremendous ballad awarded an Ivor Novello songwriting award, it reached No.2 in the UK charts in April 1996. Their fourth album, 'Everything Must Go' captured and revealed the turmoil of the band's recent history and won them increasingly wider appeal (and their first two Brit Awards for Best Album and Best Band). The fifth Manics album, 'This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours', took its title from the Welsh social revolutionary Aneurin Bevan, the architect of the welfare state. Its references included the Spanish civil war ('If you Tolerate This...'), the Hillsborough fo More...

I was 9 years old and remember the times; Coalmines being shutdown, lively-hoods and communities destroyed. All against the backdrop and constant reminder of an Olympic Gold a year earlier. A truly amazing rhetoric here from the Manics. wow | Reviewer: sammi ------ About the song 4st 7lb performed by Manic Street Preachers this song isn't subtle like some other ana/mia songs, just talking about not eating and pushing away food. it's graphic and raw and a total slap in the face. anyone who has ever joked about eating disorders should hear this song. :O | Reviewer: Jade. ------ About the song 4st 7lb performed by Manic Street Preachers This song is incredible. Tbh, this perfectly describes what anorexia is like to me, and if you analyse the lyrics, you get a whole other understanding. I love how the Manic's lyrics are almost like prose, but they always sound so lyrical and fit so well, and run so smoothly :) XOXO tragic | Reviewer: Hardy ------ About the song Ocean Spray performed by Manic Street Preachers After numerous sessions of listening, it was articles on the net that helped me to understand that this song had a tragic, yet strong origin. The song was about Bradfield's mother's battle against cancer. The lyrics reflect deep sadness, yet also reflect strength in facing the tragedy. The trumpet solo helped to create the sympathetic atmosphere. Very nice. the working class | Reviewer: Hardy ------ About the song A Design for Life performed by Manic Street Preachers I agree that the song is somewhat tragic. I think it describes how the working class is. How frustrating it is for not being the upper classes. I love how they put "libraries gave us power, then work came and made us free", to me, it seems to reflect how you studied hard, got your job, but it's not really enough. This is one of the Manics greatest. you idiot | Reviewer: chris ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers richard nixon was the us president from 1968-1974 (i think, i will be quoted on that), during the cold war. russian radio will be playing that because they still hate america, like nearly the whole planet does. It's about Nixon, people | Reviewer: frank ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers It's a sympathetic look at the Nixon presidency - why are all these russian people asking about the legitimacy of the song or "what was the point of it?" - they're a politically motivated band and they write political songs...it's like asking what's the point of any of their songs? Beautifull | Reviewer: Alex ------ About the song 4st 7lb performed by Manic Street Preachers I love this song. I can relate to it, especially the sentance: this discipline's so rare so please applaud just look at the fat scum who pamper me . The song: | Reviewer: Synphetamine ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers It's a fantastic song, The band however dates back to early 90's possibly late 80's, They started off on political issues in the early days but after the death of one of the band members they became more mainstream, If you wish to judge them then it seems like someone who listens to Russian Pop "Which please note is more polished than any other pop with people like Tatu and Serebro tarnishing Russia, This band has some fantastic songs like - Tsunami - You stole the sun from my heart - If you tolerate this, then Your children will be next - Design for life All of which would suit anyone who likes the pop/rock/indie scene. As for this song, I actually don't see the point in it either however it's has the sort of music you could listen to over and over again, They have never been the greatest lyric workers however they have always been great with instruments able to capture emotions through them. cheers | Reviewer: Adie ------ About the song Roses in the Hospital performed by Manic Street Preachers This is a beautifully written song, with a great deal of obvious emotion. Richey Did a wonderful Job. Brilliant | Reviewer: Tessa ------ About the song Another Invented Disease performed by Manic Street Preachers I love their lyrics. And the song is excellent. James Dean Bradfield is one of the best rock singers out there today Epic | Reviewer: Joe ------ About the song A Song For Departure performed by Manic Street Preachers Beautiful and epic, a truly masterful song. I love it every time i hear it, so powerful with it's piano lines and lyrics 'this is a song to break your heart to', every true. One of my faves from one of the favorite bands ever. damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: ridwan ------ About artist/band Manic Street Preachers you damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!manic street preaches holy bible album is the best furry good... | Reviewer: furesa ------ About the song Your Love Alone Is Not Enough performed by Manic Street Preachers i heard dis song when dis song came up as numero uno in d radio in my town. once i heard dis song, i felt strange wit d music, but after twice and three times listen to dis song carefully, it sooooooo awesome, moreover the lyrics that sounds "your love alone is not enough" sounds whoaaaaa.... oh really? | Reviewer: BlueBerry Pick'n ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers well, that's disturbing. "The Love of Richard Nixon" with Dianetics advertising. well, isn't *that* interesting. "Spread Love... ... but wear the Glove!" BlueBerry Pick'n can be found @ ThisCanadian "Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced" MSP with a story to tell | Reviewer: ASF ------ About the song Montana/Autumn/78 performed by Manic Street Preachers Unabomber Kaczynski cited in another MSP classic. Much like kevin Carter immortalised in another masterpiece from these misunderstood Welsh rebels. Rates among their greatest songs, critically? Discuss... What's the Point? | Reviewer: Doug ------ About the song The Love Of Richard Nixon performed by Manic Street Preachers I am working in Rostov-on-Don in Russia, and one radio station plays this song every morning (or nearly so). The station is Radio Rostov. I wonder what is the point of this song, and even stranger, why this Russian radio station plays it nearly every morning? I cna't imagine who would even buy something from this band. But the name Manic Street Preachers, is also too much!!! Well, someone here must like the song, or they wouldn't play it nearly every day. When I here the song I change the station to Russian pop. Review | Reviewer: Alex ------ About the song A Design for Life performed by Manic Street Preachers The song itself is so tragic. Basically these people have given up on any chance on making something of their lives, so they just get drunk and think about what could have been. But the music is really lovely. Enough strings to be really effective, but they don't go overboard. A personal favorite. No departure, an arrival! | Reviewer: Magnus Ydhag ------ About the song A Song For Departure performed by Manic Street Preachers One of the strongest songs ever from MSP! I just can´t stop listening to it and it feels in my spine that this is "one of those songs", one of those you wont get tired of after 50 listenings or so. This song is up there alongside with "no surface all feeling", and that says the most... Yours sincerely//Magnus 1985 - Manic Street Preachers | Reviewer: Dai ------ About the song 1985 performed by Manic Street Preachers Containing footage from both the local area where the Manics spent their early years growing up and from what I believe to be the Falklands War, this is a typical Manic Street Preachers video. No over the top footage and no special effects, yet the video is still compelling, particularly as I am from the same area as the Manics. A very nitty gritty video that shows the collapse of the local mining and steel industries and this is shown equally as much in the lyrics in the song, if at first u dont understand them, just read deeper into them and it talks about the detremental effect that the years surrounding 1985 have had on life in the South Wales valleys. The Manics back to their best?...not quite, but still class.
