MANIC STREET PREACHERS
Forever Delayed
The Greatest Hits
2 x 180g vinyl
New & Sealed
IN STOCK & READY FOR IMMEDIATE DISPATCH
Manic Street Preachers originally gained a loyal following and cult status with their combination of androgynous glam punk imagery, outspoken invective and songs about culture, alienation, boredom and despair. The band's later albums retained a leftist politicization and intellectual lyrical style, while adopting a broader alternative rock sound, especially after the mysterious disappearance of lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards in 1995.
Forever Delayed is the Manics' greatest hits album, released in 2002. The album includes three singles which never appeared on earlier albums ("Motown Junk", "Suicide Is Painless", and "The Masses Against the Classes"). The latter is one of the band's two UK #1 hits, along with "f You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next". The album features two new songs as well: "There by the Grace of God" and "Door to the River".
