doesn't go past Know Your Enemy; that's a massive hobby horse misunderstood masterpiece album to me so everything you read past this point might be deeply suspicious. signed by a forever fan who stopped being a forever fan immediately after Lifeblood dropped lol. i had to cut a few Holy Bible tunes to stop it dominating. showing my working https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593207897563856906/1014353962293534841/unknown.png |

Forever Delayed
"Masses Against the Classes" from teh standalone single of the same name not allowed to be in the sput archives for whatever reason (mods are asleep, post "Masses Against the Classes" (2000) by The Manic Street Preachers) |
| 2 |  | Manic Street Preachers
Gold Against The Soul
"La Tristessa Durera (Scream to a Sigh)" singalong classic (six star difficulty) |
| 3 |  | Manic Street Preachers
Know Your Enemy
"Wattsville Blues" the only anthem i stand for. nicky wire swearing, me grinning. music 2 |
| 4 |  | Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible
"Archives of Pain" I was gonna put on 4st 7lb but then I imagined listening to that song with other people in the car |
| 5 |  | Manic Street Preachers
Generation Terrorists
"You Love Us" (from the album-preceding single, a messier cutesier all-around gayer version of the song with a bonus penderecki clip) this begins the art fan section where I pick from the back of the cabinet |
| 6 |  | Manic Street Preachers
This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
"Prologue to History" (b-side from If You Tolerate) baggy piano auto-include |
| 7 | | Manic Street Preachers
Gold Against The Soul
"Comfort Comes" (b-side from From Despair I think) number one hidden gem in the discog apart from Wattsville Blues which is on a high-profile album but nonetheless a hidden gem because you have to listen to enough times to become the song and only then you can like it |
| 8 | | Manic Street Preachers
Know Your Enemy
"Baby Elian" baby duckling |
| 9 | | Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible
"Faster" sometimes I name this as my fave guitar solo cos its palpable the way it doesn't like you |
| 10 | | Manic Street Preachers
Generation Terrorists
"Motorcyle Emptiness" using this immortal song as a landmark |
| 11 | | Manic Street Preachers
This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
"Born a Girl" cry instantly, be called an egg (its true) |
| 12 |  | Manic Street Preachers
Everything Must Go
"Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier" I wore this album out so much but I love what this tune does, such a journey, such a huge gleeful attack |
| 13 | | Manic Street Preachers
Gold Against The Soul
"Donkeys" (from some B side during this era) wow we're soundgarden |
| 14 | | Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible
"Mausoleum" the outro still scares me. here partially for that factor cos Intense Humming was too long |
| 15 | | Manic Street Preachers
Know Your Enemy
"Royal Correspondent" fuck england seriously |
| 16 | | Manic Street PrEaChErS
Forever Delayed
"Close My Eyes" (from Masses Against the Classes "EP") i bought it the day it came out and i'm going to use it forever |
| 17 | | Manic Street Preachers
Everything Must Go
"Kevin Carter" i recognise a tendency in myself to sidestep the About Richie tunes on here and in general revisit this album less frequently than some others. it also reminds me of football cos of its success and subsequent overusage on TV. but kev is really well written, I loved this single to bits including the trumpet break |
| 18 | | Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible
"Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart" best manics song imo but the title is out of date, we all know there's layers of truth... inborn truth, perceived truth, new truths to refute automatically |
| 19 | | Manic Street Preachers
this is my truth tell me YOURS
"South Yorkshire Mass Murderer" i remember the controversy and i remember squaring the lyrics sheet up against that controversy and laughing long and hard. just the sort of song that can only be on the end of an album and deserves its place, everything building to that solo at the end. wow the comp is exactly 80 minutes |
