I bought this album on CD format to replace my worn out tape version won at my local pop quiz raffle in 1996. This was one of my favourite albums of the mid 1990s when Britpop was at its height and the sound is as immediate,full of conviction and as questioning as it was back in those halcyon days when "cool Britannia" still ruled and music counted for something other than corporate with a capital "C" or identikit plastic popsters gleaned from reality shows or media hype. I love everything about this set from the uplifting "Girl Who Wanted to be God" to the anthemic choruses of "Everthing Must Go", "Australia" and "Design for Life" and the haunting,cynical and sometimes bitter overtones eveident in "Elvis Impersonator" and "Small Black Flowers" (allegedly referenced to the band's missing member Richey Edwards). I know opinions have changed in the advancing years and some will beg to differ and call me biased (I am Welsh and used to see singer James Dean Bradfield around a lot) but it is and will always be for me one of the all time classics.Read full review
This is an amzing album....combination of the Manics current sound and the style they took on when superb lyricist Richey was still on board. Highlights of the album are "Small black flowers that grow in the sky" which is one of their best songs and some of Richey` best lyrics. "A design for life" which is obviously one of their classic songs and alos "kevin carter" and "Elvis impersonator blackpool pier" Great album!
There isn't one song on this CD that I don't like. A Design For Life, Kevin Carter, Everthing Must Go, Australia....need I say more. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best investments I have made & one of the best Manics CD's to date.
