Stuff like this makes me really hate the Manics nowadays.

Holy bible was their only good album.....I don't know what happened after that

**jackhammer** · 03-04-2008, 02:19 PM

I have never heard The Holy Bible. Gold Against The Soul had some OK tracks on it. I have always thought that they were just another average band. Is Holy Bible THAT good then?

**sleepy jack** · 03-04-2008, 02:37 PM

Yeah.

Rubberchicken · 03-04-2008, 05:38 PM

my preference...

1. The Holy Bible (1994) - "Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforoneday..."
2. Generation Terrorists (1992) - "Condemned To Rock 'N' Roll"
3. This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours (1998) - "Be Natural"
4. Everything Must Go (1996) - "No Surface All Feeling"
5. Gold Against the Soul (1993) - "Gold Against The Soul"
6. Know Your Enemy (2001) - "Miss Europa Disco Dancer"
7. Lifeblood (2004)
8. Send Away the Tigers (2007)

....still haven't mustered the courage to attempt the last two albums. I fear it will tarnish my view on them... 'Know your enemy' was hard enough to listen to. One day.

the Holy Bible ****ed me up, properly. Probably. And people are going to hate me but I like 'Lifeblood'. It's just lowkey and good in the winter, sometimes. And I get nostalgic listening to 'Know Your Enemy', cos thats when I was getting into music innit. But honestly how can Nicky ****ing Wire accept an NME award for Godlike Genius with a clear conscience? It's not exactly a people's award is it? Personally I look to Gruff Rhys for my inspiration from the valleys.
Has anybody heard McCarthy, the band that inspired them? 'Keep an open mind or else'

I enjoyed send away the tigers to a degree.
