Mummy, what's a sex pistol?
Apr. 28th, 2009 08:06 pmIf I was the sort of person to frequent online fan communities and the sort of person to be online last night when the Manic Street Preachers new album, Journal for Plague Lovers, was leaked then I might be the sort of person who was listening to it right now. If I was listening to it, my comments might run a bit like this...
Peeled Apples and Jackie Collins Existential Question - heard them before so not much to say, too excited about what's to come to concentrate...
Loving how much fun Me and Stephen Hawking is.
Loving the strings on This Joke Sport Severed.
Loving the dirty guitars on title track.
Loving EVERY SINGLE THING about She Bathed Herself in a Bath of Bleach (also, 2mins 17? Amazing).
Loving Facing Page: Top Left - this is my official ironic-summer track not to mention the fact it is BEAUTIFUL.
Not feeling Marlon JD just yet. Although it has an amazing little frantic outro.
Doors Closing Slowly is...slow but I picked up a few amazing lines, like 'crucifixtion is the easy life' which is just pure Richey. Love it.
Can't fail to grin from ear when James starts shouting on the first chorus on All is Vanity. Love love love.
Want to burst with excitement and joy and love and joy at Pretension/Repulsion. It's so dirty and exciting. And 2mins 4? Amazing.
Virginia State Epileptic Colony is amazing by normal standards but not stand out good on this album. One to revisit later perhaps. Liked the very layered in quote though, sounded gooood
Nicky's singing! It's not awful! It's heartbreaking. Oh lord I love you Nicky. Oh oh oh! Oh it's beautiful!
Bag Lady - wait the end of the album already? - makes me go ROAR! And my heart pounds faster. And and and...ROAR!
As you can imagine, had the album been leaked and I was in possession of an illegal copy (is it still illegal when I preordered?!) I would be having quite the good night. Oh yes.
