CD is in excellent condition, music on it is even better, i would recommend this to anyone who likes good music
Gold Against The Soul makes up in singles (From Despair to Where, La Tristessa Durerra, Roses In The Hospital) what it doesn't in filler ( Drug, Drug, Druggy etc). Ignore any comments that this was a stab at ''commercial'' success, if anything this album is just as heavy as some of the material from Generation Terrorists, but with a more refined range of melodies. Although this is often disregarded as simply a band losing its priorities, it features some really seminal Manic Street Preachers songs, and is simulatenously important in showing the increasingly self-deprecating themes of Richey's lyrics, which would ultimatley climax in the 1994 album 'The Holy Bible'. While The Holy Bible might purvey the core of Richey-era Manics, i'd vouch that musically Gold Against The Soul is a greater triumph, certaintley not 'Generation Terrorists II', but an album which has an almost flawless production when compared to the rougher edges of the debut. If you need anymore persuading, not long after this album was released, Richey stated in an interview that up until that point Roses In The Hospital was they're best song. The album is usually one of the cheapest out of all their catalogue - get it while its hot.Read full review
One of the most underated of the Manics offerings. Each track is suitably different, and with heaps of melodies and good rhythm Gold Against the Soul is undoubtedly an enjoyable listen. Highlights: 1. La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh) 2. Roses In The Hospital 3. From Despair To Where 4. Sleepflower
Compared to "Generation Terrorists" this album sounds glossy which is why many die-hard manics fans are so scronful of it. However, it is a great album and although a bit over-produced, it features some classic songs and overall is a very good album. My fave on the album is Roses in the hospital and it also features the great singles "la tristesse durera" and "from despair to where" Buy it while its so cheap!
Excellent cd from one of the best bands of the nineties. I previously had owned it but lost it and decided to replace it in my collection.
