JAC185 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) So, Manics are finally using some of Richey's supermentalwicked lyrics that he left before he........left.http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/zanelowe/2009/0..._street_pr.htmlZane Lowe recently played a track off the album, its a bit of a cracker with some typical Richey lyrics. Sexy bass at the start aswell.I'm very excited for the album and reading along with the lyric sheet as god knows they'll be indecipherable.I just got my tickets for one of the upcoming London dates too. On the mini tour they're going to play the whole album front to back then a second set of the classics which should be grand.I don't know if they're going to tour the album more strongly afterwards as I think they've said there will be no singles and everything about the album makes it seem like a personal venture for them rather than a commercial one.Oh also, another wonderful album cover (same woman who did THB cover) and greatest tracklist in the world:Peeled ApplesJackie Collins Existential Question TimeMe and Stephen HawkingThis Joke Sport SeveredJournal For Plague LoversShe Bathed Herself In A Bath Of BleachFacing Page: Top LeftMarlon J.D.Doors Closing SlowlyAll Is VanityPretension/RepulsionVirginia State Epileptic ColonyWilliam’s Last Words Edited March 27, 2009 by JAC185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandNewCadillac Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I really can't wait for this. This album is supposed to be a sort of follow-up to The Holy Bible, which is one of my favourite albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm really excited, especially after hearing the track "Peeled Apples" yesterday, it was far better than I expected. I'm a big Manics fan but I was kinda doubtful over the whole thing, but it seems to be turning out really good. I hope they'll tour here soon.

wasted Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Peeled ApplesThe more I seeThe less I screamThe figure eight inside out is infinityThe naked lightbulb is always onTheir make or break completes Then they blow it to kingdom comeRiderless horses, Noam Chomsky's CamelotBruises on my hands from digging my nails outA series of images against you and meTrespass your torment if you are what you wanna beI once impersonated a shopwork dummyThe Levi jean will always be stronger than the uziDwarf takes his cockerel out of the cockpitFalcons attack the pigeons in the west wing night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Apparently a new song (I think it was the Jackie Collins... one, not sure though) was played on the radio a few hours ago or so... I haven't heard it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's gonna be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There was talk of this album only have this one single, and then no promotion, like albums used to be, leaving it as a mystery for people?Not sure what peeled apples is about, but the lyrics make me think of patients in a mental institution, one of whom can't make sense of the socio-poltical nightmare. Minds rotting like peeled apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetchupNotMayo Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Bought it today.Amazing album so far, I'm only on the eighth song because I couldn't stop going back to the first few songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveysham Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The album is awesome my favourites are Doors Closing slowly, me and stephen Hawking and Jackie Collins existential question time. I got the signed special edition and it's a beautiful book with pictures of the orginal lyrics and folder left by Richey. Can't wait to see them in Belfast on June the 6th.

axl_on_drums Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Saw them live a week or so ago, played the whole album for the first set then the greatest hits for the second..The new album is amazing, so underated.

Marky Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Is Nicky still having trouble live? He had back spazms and nerve problems, and has to remail pretty stationary for the gigs apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandead Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I like it, but I actually prefer Send Away The Tigers (a simpler record lyrically, but I love it)Also, TIMTTMY is still their best album by a mile = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIMTTMY is good, I can't seem to get absorbed in it, I might have to just sit down and focus on it, it's the sorta record I've had as background music.And SATT was quite a good record too, they modernised a bit, which I like.

KetchupNotMayo Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 God they're amazing, awesome album.Also bought Generation Terrorists again after losing my CD some years ago, before I listened to music on my computer. Also a fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC185 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Is Nicky still having trouble live? He had back spazms and nerve problems, and has to remail pretty stationary for the gigs apparently.Yeah he didn't move too much and was clearly in pain at times but was still sharing the crowds enthusiasm and I'm very pleased they didn't cancel or reschedule to be honest. James was magnificent enough anyhow.I bought the signed 2 disc special edition (17 quid delivered really wasn't too bad) and the artwork is simply incredible. The best all round package for an album I've ever received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
