Manic Street Preachers: Album by Album by Marc Burrows (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Manic Street Preachers by Marc Burrows Contains a detailed, month-by-month timeline tracing the band from formation in 1985 to the announcement of their fourteenth album in 2021, one of the most detailed and comprehensive guides to the band yet published. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In a career thats spanned thirty-five years and generated fourteen albums, fifty-three singles (two of them UK number ones), four Brit Awards, two Ivor Novellas and inspired literally hundreds of university dissertations, quite a few PhDs and the odd specialist subject on Mastermind, Manic Street Preachers have become, in the words of their 2011 singles collection, national treasures. The Welsh trio (who, to many, will always be a quartet) have a uniquely intense impact on their fans; educating them as much as they entertain and inspire. This book collects fourteen brand new essays, one for each Manics album, from fourteen different writers from diverse backgrounds, tracing the bands impact on fans and culture and setting each of their works, from 1992s Generation Terrorists to 2018s Resistance Is Futile and beyond, into context. The essays are linked by a detailed month-by-month biography by music critic and Manics fan Marc Burrows (The Guardian, The Quietus, Drowned In Sound), who compiled and edited the book, tracing the bands development from glamourpuss upstart intellectuals to the elder statesmen of British indie rock, via an era-defining run of hits, an historic trip to Cuba and one vanished genius. Manic Street Preachers: Album by Album includes a complete discography and is sourced from in-depth archival research, making it one of the most comprehensive and detailed works devoted to the band yet compiled.
