Manic Street Preachers: She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach

[youwinoneinternets]

My only complaint is this song is far too short. Replay replay replay

[MangoStarrx3]

all i can think of now is that episode of strange addictions. sweet christ tv what have you done. 

[exkirkby]

@smithsfan92 Well get an education Steve Albini is a LEGEND!

[Spaceboyzero]

The preachers are still one of the best

[MadamPascal]

Happy birthday, Richey Edwards, wherever you are.

[TheCnAProductions]

There is a brilliant book called "A Version of Reason: The Search for Richey Edwards" by Rob Jovanovic. I would recommend it. The only bad side to the book is it was written before the release of JFPL but other than that, it's fantastic. Hope this helped!

[BejnXander]

I've read that! Awesome book!

[spacemonkeygif]

its sad really; love them or hate them, you should just appreciate them because you'll never see another band like them .

[loser1802]

@spacemonkeygif The ones who hate them don't understand them or they are stupid or have bad taste...

[keimzeit88]

diese LP als Liebeserklärung an Richey J.E.

diese Formulierung gefällt mir sehr gut!

[gerbelle90]

Ich habe mir die neue Ausgabe von Sounds gekauft, da ist ein Interview mit denen drin. (Edition N° V Das Album)

Falls es dich interessiert...

[lalo6437]

Intro sounds like the one in "Wattsville Blues"

[jameyinegypt]

A classic rock masterpiece from the Manic Street Preacher's. 10/10

[mitchell16]

Best song of the album easily. Love it

[Campfire1978]

Pixies cunt cant sing, kl tunes tho

[Moir79]

Fuck off! This is just a great fucking song! Yes I am biased, but I dont care! All Power to the Manics!

[Campfire1978]

No one cares about you spelling

[jameyinegypt]

Still sound's like they are covering a Nirvana song to me! a great one at that though. In utero/nevermind sound overall feel to it. Bit of pixies in their too i guess.

[Andre2010]

At their pixiest

[zombieoverdrive]

and nirvana cose albini cus they wanted a pixies type sound.....

I love both groups but i dont like to hear manics wanted to coipy nirvana, they are great in their own right.

Basically its an albini sound they both wanted lets face it.

[pcoll04]

BombJapan.... "admitting the huge influence.."they had no bigger an influence on the manics than the Clash who were a far bigger influence considering they have admitted that it was because of the Clash they formed a band and generation terrorists is punk rock at its best.

[BombJapan]

Good to see the Manics finally admitting the huge influence Nirvana had on them, from their hooks to Rickey's suicide. They even hired Nirvana's producer, Steve Albini, for this latest record. The Manics have always been Britian's Nirvana, like R.E.M. is America's Smiths. They themselves have recognized Nirvana's influence in an new interview with the Sun. Good on them!

[jameyinegypt]

Agree with you BombJapan, the chorus on here is kind of similar to smell's like teen spirit i find. Poppier though, most people disagree with me though. Oh well, two amazing band's though. Saw them the other night at wolverhampton civic and they were amazing as usual! 10/10

[jOSullivan3]

...also rem are nothing at all on the smiths.

[BejnXander]

I read that Richey wrote this after comparing his own experiences to that of another patient at the Priory

[jameyinegypt]

The chorus is like a poppier version of smell's like teen spirit, GREAT GREAT song from the manic's. 10/10

[Clemen79]

I thought the chorus sounds like Democracy Coma, it is just speed up.

[Clemen79]

I dunno about the rest of you, but i find the guitar solo for this song is pretty darn sexy. Dunno why...

[GorramT]

well no, maybe just repeat the chorus one more time at the end.

[GorramT]

this song needs to be longer, it's too good to be so short

[tairanman]

agreed

[jameyinegypt]

Hi, was that agreeing to me mentioning the chorus sound's similar to smell's like?

[tairanman]

nope lol,agreeing for the song to be longer,i still dont see the teen spirit resemblence sorry.

[jakenolly]

'coghcrapcogh''

[jameyinegypt]

"cough talkingcrap cough" what are you on about?

[Eggfriedmice]

I love the manics but I think this album is overrated. Musically it is very chord heavy, blunt and brutal, which isn't a bad thing but it lacks that lead guitar work, lead breaks and solo sections we love. Secondly, you can barely understand a word. So with relatively boring music (compared to previous albums) n words you cant understand, you're forced to read the lyrics to make sense of it. The lyrics are by no means the best richey has written either, cuz they're not lyrics, they're poems

[jameyinegypt]

Boring music ? are you kidding obviously no taste in music then. This is an amazing album , easily one of their best , check out all the great review's it has got.

[Partoftheratpack]

True, anyone who thinks this manics album is boring... well - you can guess.

[Eggfriedmice]

Obviously you people don't understand the word relatively. And you pretend to be intellectual enough to understand the lyrics?

[Eggfriedmice]

I didn't say it was boring, I said relatively boring, that means in contrast to what they have written before. You can listen to almost any song off any of their other albums and it is more "fun" to listen to than most of these tracks, with more movement, structure and variety. I feel this album could have been better, as if they're holding back. They have focused too much on what we have missed and not enough on what we already love.. they need to combine past with present, not 1 or the other.

[Partoftheratpack]

Ha ha, The reason I know the lyrics is because i'm smart enough to look them up when I don't know them. I still think that compared to other Manics albums this one is up there in the top 3. But if you don't like it so much.. well thats fine too.

[drake128]

Makes me grin hearing this, the music,lyrics and james voice are everything i want from a manics tune.

[cristianocm7]

i have the download link for the CD :)

if you want it send me a message

or write a reply on my comment :D

[stalinised]

Firstly, the recording is very similar. Steve Albini also recorded In Utero, and has a distinct style in which he pretty much leaves the band to their own devices rather than digitally altering the sound. This song in particular sounds closest to a song from In Utero.

[BejnXander]

This is so fucking brilliant!

[jameyinegypt]

I think so it's clearly in the chorus and verse too syringe your ear's!!

[jameyinegypt]

Ok , who else think's this is as good as peeled apple's? or a close runner up perhaps? get back!

[tairanman]

its better!

[jameyinegypt]

Good call tairanman !, i could agree with that. or they are equally as good as each other at least. What an album though! want to be friend's? that's an invite by the way!

[stalinised]

I think this is the best song on the album, along with Bag Lady.

[jameyinegypt]

Look people , i just mean the sound .Especially the chorus sound's very nevermind, the verse sound's more in utero. maybe it would not be out of place on either album's.

[exkirkby]

Albini didn't produce 'smells like'

[kokoshmusun]

God, that solo is really good too..... I LOVE THE MANICS.

[jameyinegypt]

And the chorus wouldn't be out of place on nevermind either.

[tairanman]

it sounds very manicky to me,a bit GATS.

[jameyinegypt]

sure , i meant the chorus sound's in a way similar to smell's like. the guitar's and the way he sing's it you know. great track stunning chorus.

[garymiller10]

Nice!!

[jameyinegypt]

The follow up to smell's like teen spirit from the manic street preacher's. awesome beyond word's . 10/10
