Looks like Tim Roth....

I quite like the proposed cover, and I like the name. A lot better than the working title.

It's cause it is?

That looks fantastic but you know they're just going to fart on that image with their reversed Rs again.

Since that's the typeface they've used on the site, I'm guessing not.

It might need a slipcase. It's showing a topless man.

I like the backwards R's, but I also like this military style typeface.

That's the cover. I don't care what anyone else says, I don't care what the band want or what Sony think is best - that is the cover!!! Nice one Albireo!!!

in true DIY spirit, you could always print it and glue it to the actual cover (just in case...!)

Manic Street Preachers have announced details of a new UK tour to coincide with the release of their forthcoming new album.

The group's 10th studio album, 'Postcards From A Young Man', is out in September. A UK tour starts in Glasgow on September 29.

Frontman James Dean Bradfield said that the album would be an unashamedly pop-orientated affair following 2009's bleak 'Journal For Plague Lovers'.

"We're going for big radio hits on this one," he told NME. "It isn't a follow-up to 'Journal For Plague Lovers'. It's one last shot at mass communication."

British Sea Power will support the band on the tour.
