Thanks, I haven't heard much from this band and I'd like to hear more. |

Much better than that other Manic Street Preachers song that was getting a ton of air time a couple years ago, this is actually kind of good.

You mean their lyricist. He never sang with the band. He totally disappeared and no one knows whether he is alive or not. To say he is living somewhere in Asia or Africa or to say he killed himself, both comments are equally ignorant and stupid. |

One of the most touching songs would be Ocean Spray, about James Bradfield's mother dieing of cancer. The trumpet solo is absolutely stunning. I honestly find Know Your Enemy an excellent album spanning a wonderful set of topics, and frankly, it shows off their terrific evolution from a Guns 'n Roses clone. However, I really like Roses in the Hospital. Stay away from album called The Holy Bible if you don't like loud, raucous, and controversial music ;) It's not their best as I can't listen to it more than once every few weeks but it makes many pungent points.
Ah, you are one of those dreaded "new" fans then. Holy Bible is universally regarded as an absolute classic and is undoubtably the best Manic's album. Even upon release, James said is was not an album designed to be listened to over and over but one that everyone should have. The pinnacle of the greatest rock n' roll story ever.
The first 3 albums are unique works of genius, but they went off the rails a bit after that and are now pretty damn awful. Obvious events forced the change. |

Do you mean Baby Elian which is on the album after this one? |

I'd heard this song before but hadn't really twigged the serious lyrics. A sound warning to apathetic individualistic youth, which hopefully some have taken to heart. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Is it just me or is there a lot of songs on RP that end with that same ambient-feedback-sounding sustained tone?
Or maybe just a lot of songs in general that end with that?
