Yeah, I'd like to see a review of the Manic Street Preachers' output. You should do it, SGR.
Hmmm....I can't say that I see that with Send Away the Tigers. Are you sure you're not getting the album confused with Generation Terrorists or perhaps even their second album Gold Against the Soul?

Their most rockin' song from Send Away the Tigers:



One of many rockin' songs from their debut album:



Not to say that SATT is a bad album, but I guess GnR and 80s metal isn't the first thing I'd compare it to. That said, the band was definitely influenced by GnR.

Well, I guess if I've got at least one member who'd read it, perhaps I'll go ahead and start a discog review. I'm a bit of an obsessive of the bad - or at least I used to be. I don't listen to them as much as I used to. But I certainly still have plenty of opinions of their work to share.
