Shuffle Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Manic Street Preachers announce new album and UK tourThe Manic Street Preachers have announced the release of their 10th album, entitled Postcards From A Young Man. It will be the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Journal For Plague Lovers, which featured lyrics entirely written by the band’s former guitarist and lyricist Richey James Edwards who disappeared in February 1995, and it finished at number 25 on our end-of-the-year list: http://onethirtybpm.com/2009/12/21/the-top-50-albums-of-2009/3/). Postcards From A Young Man will be released in September (a September 20 release date was first announced but it has since been removed) and they have also announced their most extensive UK tour yet in support of the album, with British Sea Power opening (dates below).

Snake Eyes Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 £30ish tickets, bit steep but I'll probably go for it since I haven't seen them before. Charlatans tour also announced today, so that's another bit of money gone. Seen charlatans three times and wouldn't miss a show, awesome performances.

MJG Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Got tickets for Edinburgh and Glasgow today.Apparently Duff McKagan guests on the new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 yeah, Duff plays bass on one song I think... don't think he's doing any vocals so I'm not sure what kind of impact he'd have. But then, the Manics were always huge GN'R fans so they were probably just happy to have him in the studio with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Am I the only one who find Manic Street Preachers overwhelmingly boring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC185 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Am I the only one who find Manic Street Preachers overwhelmingly boring?Yes. Be quiet. Richey is the prettiest man ever and that alone makes them interesting even today.This 'one last shot at mass communication' thing concerns me a bit for this album. I guess it means it will be an album of Your Love Alone etc.... rather than something nutty. But Tim Roth is on the cover so that is a good start.

Shuffle Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Am I the only one who find Manic Street Preachers overwhelmingly boring?Probably not, but that's not my fault I assume that you've listened to The Holy Bible, and not just the radio-friendly stuff? Knowing you I guess you have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
