Swingin' Ryan Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Properly delighted by this, I was expecting to have to travel to Glasgow for their Winter tour. What with Kings of Leon on the 1st and The Manics on the 2nd, that's going to be an amazing couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Lifeblood is better than Send Away the Tigers.In your opinion. I cannot put Send Away the Tigers down. I love it.Lifeblood is one the worst albums I own. Not just one of the worst, one of the most dissapointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just one of the worst, one of the most dissapointing.I'd rather they settled into to making decent mature pop than made embarassing attempts at reliving their glory days. Plus Send Away the Tigers is lyrically worse, but that's only to be expected as Nicky has been on a slippery slope for a long time now.

Marsh Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'd rather they settled into to making decent mature pop than made embarassing attempts at reliving their glory days. Plus Send Away the Tigers is lyrically worse, but that's only to be expected as Nicky has been on a slippery slope for a long time now.There's nothing embarrasing about it. Why are they reliving? Because it's back to guitars? It's not as if Nick's writing about culture, alienation, boredom and despair.... It's a new album with the usual overblown lyrics, but it hits the spot for me. And it's infinitely better to hear Jimmy Dean spitting out solos and raising his voice as opposed to processed drumbeats and polished synths. The music on Lifeblood is turgid, uninspiring and comes over like a poor New Order pastiche. The lyrics are appaling, too, 1985 excluded (one of my all time favourite Manics songs and indeed lyrics.) I mean, I Live To Fall Asleep? Surely one of the worst songs ever recorded. The Love of Richard Nixon is clumsier than the man who wrote it. Cardiff Afterlife - "Makes no sense at all?" Aye, the whole bloody song makes no sense and ruins the sentiment. Empty Souls - "Collapsing like the Twin Towers - Falling down like April showers" Awful. I'm picking bits out, but I just don't get it. I for one can't wait for the gig(s) - I'm heading down to Edinburgh the day after they are up here - and hearing the new material live. Everyone else's loss if they don't like the new stuff. "Oh good god I feel like a liberal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think SATT has some of Nicky's strongest post-EMG lyrics on there, Rendition and The Second Great Depression are probably my two highlights. I love Imperial Bodybags because it has the classic Manics feeling of looking at a political issue from the opposite angle of pretty much every other band, much like they did on Archives of Pain (plus it's set to a tune that sounds like Hole playing Brand New Cadillac).

Frosty Jack Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Oh please, PLEASE, can we not have yet another fucking discussion about the relative merits of every single recorded Manics opus? It's been wrung out sooo many times. Let's keep this to discussing the upcoming gig please, or I will definitely be going postal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
