Happy Manic Street Preachers Day – Resistance Is Futile!
Man if you had told me in 1995 that we would get a 13th studio record from my favourite British Band Ever, I would have thought you were crazier than I was at that time. But here we are, 10 records away from The Holy Bible and whilst we may never get anything that savage and primal scream than that (the literal scream, not the band), every record is a surprise and usually, once you have dug under the surface, made a list of your fave lyrics and headed to the library to catch up on all the quotes and references (MANICS FAN, OBV.), they all have a place in my heart and memories attached to them that can fill me with wonder (not Show Me The Wonder, the worst of all MSP singles. Worse than YSTSFMH, yeah i said it. Oh and i don’t really count the football one, but if you count the football one then, yeah it was better than the football one) and send me down a million rabbitholes, whether it be returning to Sartre, revisiting The Torture Garden or bingeing on Tennessee Williams. (Williams is quoted on the new record and of course those of us who bought Generation Terrorists on day one got a snippet of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof before Little Baby Nothing)
I’m about to take my first listen, so expect next week’s Top Ten Songs In Kendallworld to be quite Manics heavy, but then, what else is new?

“But Kendall, what do you think of Album X, Y, Z?”, oh hell yes, here are my ratings for the entire back catalogue, album by album. I would do song by song but, DON’T TEMPT ME. Ratings are classic NME out of (10), i remember GT getting a hallowed ten (and perhaps more important for that aged Kendall, a KKKKK in Kerrang!) and then the classic kiss off to the second record ‘Too much slash, not enough burn’, which whilst I do not agree with it at all (see below score, spoiler, it’s part of the 10 quadrilogy), it is a line that has always stayed with me.

Prologue to history…

Gold Against The Soul (10)
