Am looking forward to the return of the Manics. I liked Lifeblood! Viva Fragments! No money to buy tickets yet, but when I reap my winnings from the European Lottery Guild, would like to see Cardiff Uni, AND stay in a top hotel! Or I could wait until later in the year until the inevitable winter stadium tour. Providing the album doesn't get leaked online like Lifeblood did. DON'T leak it online if you get the chance!

Hurrah! See, there are still some whole-hearted Manics fans left

I heard the new single, 'Your Love Alone' for the first time yesterday, and it's really rather good!

Despite expressing my lack of interest in the Manics, I've just spent ages trying to hear the new single on the net. Old habits and all that.
Its actually quite catchy and you've got to love old Nina Cardigan as well.
I'm slightly looking forward to the album now

Where did you find it, Paul? I was too slow to spot the thread and subsequently missed the 'listen again' of Dermot's show where he played it.

Think I just caught the end of the video for 'Your Love Alone Is Not Enough' with Nina Cardigan Persson on Bliss!!
Sounds promising.

I have had the new album for 2 days now and its pretty good. Almost back on form. Probably about equal with This Is My Truth at the moment. There are some gloriously Everything Must Go-y moments though. Overall they stopped being so worthy and pompous and have made an album where they seem to be enjoying themselves.

I think it's fantastic, miles better than the previous two - although that wouldn't be difficult!
-

I agree. I think that having some time away and making the solo albums has given them a new lease of life.

It's got that 'classic' Manics sound, too, hasn't it? The single exemplifies this, and that one song is the best track they've done in years. It's also a very short album (it's less than forty minutes long), and so it hasn't got that overblown feel to it, which, great as it was, 'This Is My Truth...' tended towards. They're really back on form.
I really wish I had bothered to get tickets for the tour, but they're all sold out now.

Belatedly bought it. I love it! Send Away The Tigers and Indian Summer are genius.
You know it's a good post-Richey Manics album when, for the first time ever, there's a song where the music lets a song down, rather than the lyrics...
Guess which one!

Autumnsong is the next single (don't know when) and this Friday, tickets go on sale for winter tour. Cardiff International Arena on the menu. No idea of the price, but given the last tour sold out in two hours... 9.30 A.M. they go on sale, alas, can't afford it (so I hate it all...geddit?) but you probably could. Under starters orders!

Ooh, now that's interesting, although, rather perversely, if they're playing big arenas this time around, I won't be quite as interested - I've already seen them twice at Birmingham NEC, and I would really have liked to have seen them somewhere smaller. Ah well, let's see.

Autumnsong released next week 23 July. Available to download that week as well, but I'm not sure you'll get the b-sides. Do you want Rianna to have an ELEVENTH week at number one? (kill me now!!!) Or would you like the Manics to have their third number one? I'm choosing the Manics of course, but we can't do it without your help. I beseech thee, Planet Skaro, make the charts matter again!

Autumnsong is a piss weak song, one of the worst on the album. It almost sounds like the Manics have belatedly developed a sense of humour, but sadly it isn't a very funny one.

I quite like Autumnsong

The Manics are releasing their Christmas single tomorrow, for FREE as a download. "The Ghosts Of Christmas" will be available from www.manics.co.uk. Not sure if you have to sign up. Their tour stars this Sunday. Looks like my brother never got the ticket for Edinburgh then...
Sign up for the single,even if you have no intention of looking at their site ever again! Happy Christmas!

I'll sign up for any old crap, me.

I got one of my regular emails from the Manics tonight - we're best mates of course - and this is what it said:
