I read that James had singing lessons around the time of EMG and unfortunately it has ruined the sound - I loved his growl - but the lyrics changed so maybe he had to - but that little man is the engine - i loved richeys lyrics - but without James The Holy Bible could not of been produced from reading those lyrics
Such a beautiful song, James sounds lovely - bless him! I can't understand why Lifeblood gets so much shit, i adore that album - i actually prefer it to Send Away The Tigers but yes, long live the Manics :)
I see the criticism as a way of trying the darndest to keep these powerful messages from being heard with all of all the static + chaotic words trying to dampen the POWERFULNESS of the lyrics + Truth. These beings are being used mightely for Humanity to wake us up from this eon-long-sleep. Don't you all think it is about time we begin HEARING + listening + not judgeing each other; WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO EONS. SO For god sake start LISTENING-WITH BOTH EARS. These Beings are telling you. <3 U Angel.
I'm an obsessive fan of this band... at 14 I have somewhat jumped on the band-wagon. I own a copy of most of their Albums (am still hoping to find Know Your Enemy, Lifeblood and the compilation; Lipstick Traces). Yet I have never heard this song before. It's incredible. I mean.. they're great, but this is incredible. Beautiful and amazing.
graças a deus eu sou uma pessoa muito positiva que valoriza demais a vida. quem tem depressão não entende e questiona sempre:"-como ele pode ser feliz, deve ser um idiota, brasileiro é ferrado e só vive rindo..." É simples, eu tenho plena conciência de que a vida muitas vezes é mesmo implacável, porem ela tambem sempre nos reserva momentos que não tem preço, pessoas que nos ama e que amamos em fim...
Que bom que você não é mais um que tem o desprazer de conviver com a depressão!
"eu sou uma pessoa muito positiva que valoriza demais a vida"
"eu tenho plena conciência de que a vida muitas vezes é mesmo implacável, porem ela tambem sempre nos reserva momentos que não tem preço"
O problema é que quem tem depressão, normalmente, não consegue pensar assim... o depressivo geralmente pensa: "a vida é uma merda, tudo sempre dá errado e eu não tenho porquê viver".
Engraçado, enquanto lia o teu comentário estava justamente ouvindo Legião. o.o' Não dá para não ouvir Legião (adoro *_*), mas realmente às vezes me deixa mais triste...
( Sem problemas... quanto a você ter postado o comentário no lugar errado... =D )
But it shouldnt it's a beautiful album in it's self, it shouldnt be mocked.
And any DIE hard manics fan, like me, wouldnt critisise the manics for having an album out of the norm, people critised Radiohead when they went electronic from the era of Pablo Honey to Kid A, look where they are now, do NOT critisise manics, they are the most talented and beautiful band you will ever hear.
I agree 100%, I listened to this album when it first came out and to be honest, wasn't expecting..their norm. But I was pleasantly surprised, still might not be as Manicy as previous albums but this song is beautiful.
Manic Street Preachers are one of the best bands ever, uncomparable, clever, smart and unique...and dont tell me about bands that may be very famous now, would like to know where they are in 20 years from now.
@MY18YOLOL , man, this album ABSOLUTELY no shit! This is truly amazing great i dont know what word to say, its just FUCKIN CLASS! I LIVE TO FALL ASLEEEP!
@MY18YOLOL Agreed, the Manics are the most important band to have stradled the last couple of decades but i'm sure they have thick enough skin to take a bit of flack, infact they probably really don't give a shit, comment is free, regard all art critics as useless!
@MY18YOLOL When has criticisng music ever helped anyone? It is just about control. I love this album and you should always follow your heart not record companies, music critics etc.
@MY18YOLOL Yep, fook Radiohead, bloody hipsters. Why do the Manics get a slagging anyway? there's more talent in James's little finger than in the whole of Radiohead.
@MY18YOLOL Sentiments well said......why any die hard Manics fan would get their knickers in a twist over an Album of departure be it a one off...... Bah humbug to them I say....... Absolutely loving Postcards......Loved them at Brixton In January....and can't wait to see the beauties at Cardiff CIA IN MAY :'D
@blairmulholland Manics awful are better than Justin Beiber period. Manics are, simply put, amazing.

The difference between Nicky's and Richey's lyrics is that Nicky's are a tad too naive and adolescent. Richey was a genius tho

postei no video errado o video do comentário é o da Depressão e Suicídio.
procure não houvir essas musicas depressivas, tipo Legião, porque até eu entro em depressão com elas.
