    Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

    My favourite band are the Manics, wondering if there are any other fans here?

    If so, any comments on the new album? I'm reserving comment for a little while as I find their newer stuff requires a few listens through.

    wasnt aware there was a new album out from them.

    They are a pretty cool band went off them for a bit but I do like their stuff.

    Not their biggest fan but I've got everything must go and a few singles lying around

    Wasn't aware of a new album either, might give it a spin at some point.

    Re: Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

    Out today!

    Just had my first listen through. It's Very good definitely going to be on repeat for most of today. I think Pretension / Repulsion is my favourite right now. Going to give a few more listens though.

    Re: Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

    And we have the album cover controversy, which is frankly rediculous!

    Aparently it's a painting of a girl with a birth mark, but the supermarkets have all decided that some people might be offended (note: this was pre release, so no-one had actually complained about being offended) thinking it is a painting of a boy with blood on their face, so they have put it in a plain white sleave.

    Do they also ask customers with birth marks on their faces to put a bag over their head in case they offend other customers?

    ing supermarkets.

    Yeah, probably, but it still annoys me.
