BBC Wales Music - 26th July 2010
“Soulful and triumphant… their most confident since Everything Must Go”
The Times.
“Empassioned, exciting and wonderfully honest… the Manics are as vital as ever”
NME
“Gargantuan melodies and florid elegance… still raging… their flame burns on”
Q
“A glam belter full of fire and thunder, gospel choirs and orchestras… extraordinary lyrics”
Uncut
“In their hands grandiose needn’t be a dirty word… distillers of rock n rolls inherent romance”
Mojo
“Feel the love for this wonderfully odd national treasure”
Word
“An unashamedly pop record and its chutzpah is staggering. Gospel choirs, soaring strings and choruses you could use for landmarks in a blizzard make this an astonishing listen”
Clash
“Their third unrelentingly brilliant album in four years… Manic Street Preachers are in the form of their life”
The Fly
“An oasis of certainty, of essential rightness in a world of equivocators and shuffling blowhards”
The Quietus
“At this barren moment in time, a band like the Manic Street Preachers couldn't be more relevant if they tried”
Drowned in Sound
