I used to detest the Manic Street Preachers until they released The Holy Bible. This is one of my favourites from the album. The talking introduction is taken from 'Hookers, Hustlers, Pimps and their Johns'. I had no idea when I started to watch this documentary that it had anything to do with the sex industry!

@mousegeek I like arrogant bands, I would rather them be arrogant than false

@thecrossfirecasualty no, you wrong. The Manic Street Preachers doesn't sounds like Weezer. Weezer sounds like Manic Street Preachers.

@TheCallingCardMusic Sonically they sound like them. And you should read inbetween the lines of Weezer's lyrics. The sweater song is a metaphor for depression. Rivers Cuomo just uses weird humour.

@thecrossfirecasualty Did you just compare The Manics to Weezer? Im sure a band who write songs about the darkest things in our society like depression, anorexia, the french cival war, and quote people like Pollock, Mailer and Plath in their lyrics will be chuffed to beans being compared to a band who write songs about sweaters and hash pipes

For a while this has been one of my least favourite Manic Street Preachers albums. I never understood the critical acclaim surrounding it. Typically, I always thought Everything Must Go and TIMTTMY were better (I still think they are great records). But after about a month of repeated listenings, its reputation makes sense to me. It's a difficult swallow to begin with, but damn it's rewarding! Probably the finest achievement in the history of Welsh music...

Shocking I know but I've never listened to the Manics before. I know they're iconic but I never got round to it. This sounds a lot like early Weezer.

I didn't hate the music (I didn't listen to it) I hated the band. This was when the Manics first came out and they acted in a very arrogant way . It was pretty much what most people thought about them back in 1990-92.
Not bothered about being a dick.
