Manic Street Preachers

Clemenza

Manic Street Preachers announce new album, single and UK tour

The band will release their 11th studio album, 'Rewind The Film' on September 16. Recorded in the band's own studio in Cardiff, Rockfield in Monmouthshire and Hansa in Berlin, it features guest appearances from Lucy Rose (on 'This Sullen Welsh Heart') Cate Le Bon (on '4 Lonely Roads') and Richard Hawley on the title track. "[If] this record has a relation in the Manics back catalogue, it’s probably the sedate coming of age that was 'This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours'," the band say in a statement.

The album, which is the follow-up to 2010's 'Postcards From A Young Man' will be preceded by the single 'Show Me The Wonder' on September 9. Shortly after the album's release, the band will tour the UK and Ireland – playing Newport, Dublin, Bristol, London, Manchester and Glasgow.

The tracklisting for 'Rewind The Film' is as follows:

'This Sullen Welsh Heart'
'Show Me The Wonder'
'Rewind The Film'
'Builder Of Routines'
'4 Lonely Roads'
'(I Miss The) Tokyo Skyline'
'Anthem For A Lost Cause'
'As Holy As The Soil (That Buries Your Skin)'
'3 Ways To See Despair'
'Running Out Of Fantasy'
'Manorbier'
'30 Year War'

Manic Street Preachers will play:

Newport Centre (September 13)
Dublin Olympia (20)
Bristol Colston Hall (22)
London Shepherds Bush Empire (24)
Manchester Ritz (27)
Glasgow Barrowland (29)

Taster of new album

bellinter

Album is decent. "Solid if unspectacular" to a tee. For an 11th album though it works well. I'm more interested in hearing their 2014 album, which will be more along the lines of the holy bible and JFPL.

Anyone going to the Olympia tonight? Really looking forward to it now.

I like the new album a lot but yeah, I was more looking forward to Futurology.

I'm going tonight and I can't wait. They're one of my favourite bands and I haven't seen them before.

You're in for a treat. They always deliver... great live band.

Album is a bit of a disappointment...I was hoping for a `black dog on my shoulder`or a `small black flowers that grow in the sky`when i heard it was an acoustic affair.

Fantastic album! I have no complaints!
Live in Olympia was phenomenal!
You just don't get bad sets from them. Always up for it.

bellinter

Album serious growing on me now. Anthem For A Lost Cause a belter.

As for Friday night. Not much more to say about them as a live band. James' voice seems to be getting stronger, its a force of nature. Opening with Motorcycle Emptiness, you know straight away you're in for a good night. Very good set list, I'd never heard them peform Elvis Impersonator before so I went mad for that.

As you watch singers get older and they either drop songs down a half step or so, or else leave it to backing singers to carry the high notes it is amazing and shows JDB's true vocal talents that he is every bit as strong a singer as when they started.

Rumors of the Manics playing a gig in a small Cork venue on Arthurs day

New Manics song:

The Wild Bunch

Fantastic song!!! Can't stop playing it

Enjoying this new song hugely, looking forward to the album!

Fair play to them, still going strong, great depth to them

Corholio

The verses are great, moody and dark, the chorus sounds like it's from a completely different song. Ruins the song a bit, makes it more pop rocky.

Think the opposite in fact

The chorus is so anthemic and uplifting, I imagine it being used on a load of goal compilations/montages on Sky Sports!

Hope not! Would get fed up of it pretty quickly then.

Nah, don't think I'm gonna get sick of it!

Europa Geht Durch Mich

I am really liking the first 2 tracks available off this album, promising

The Wild Bunch

Not mad about Europa but the first song is absolutely incredible

smackbunnybaby

So far so good with me anyway!
Liking loads of the songs, though dont know many by name yet! :-)

Maybe the instrumental-synthy one, song 8, is my favourite so far!

The Wild Bunch

Got the deluxe edition on Thursday - bloody great album after a few listenings.

Favourite so far is definitely Sex Love Power and Money

Welsh Megaman

Nicky Wire on 'The One Show' tonight...with John Major!

:eek: :eek:

Rothko

I've given the new album a few listens and it's good so far. Walk Me To The Bridge sounds like it'd be cracking live. I really hope they play here this year. They were brilliant in the Olympia last September.

The Wild Bunch

New album is in their top 5 ever released

'Last Jet to Leave Moscow' is up there with the best stuff they've ever recorded

Stretchryan

I got to see them live a few months back in Luxembourg and were amazing and bought the album and gave it a first spin yesterday and like it.

Last jet to leave moscow is also my standout track
