Hearing Masses first play on the Lamacq show one Monday evening in 1999/2000 is one of my favourite Manics memories. I couldn't get my head around it. Sounded so weird and fizzy (at least on the little portable radio I was listening to it on). Good times.

The reason I'm in the "full stop" camp on Masses is partly because I was at V99.
At the time, the lads were coming in for a lot of shit from the press, and they were annoyed at being thrown under the bus after the Truth tour. So it felt like they decided to bring Masses to the party early as a fuck you to give the press something to chew on. The reason it felt like a reaction to me was because (despite the fact that it's a mega simple song,) it sounded like an unfinished demo on that balmy August night. Timing wise, Masses was also first played just 47 days after the release of Tsunami. After that, the band carried on the Truth tour through the US and back to Cardiff for NYE. Meanwhile, Found that soul (which is arguably Masses brother from another mother) was released a full year and a bit after that. So yeah, KYE does undeniably have some traits found in Masses, but it seems obvious that Masses was born out of the Truth campaign, the press backlash and the mood of the moment.

Whereas it is true that Found That Soul was released over a year after Masses, the recording would have started well before that and it has always seemed to me that a number of the songs on KYE and the B sides of that time have a similar sort of sound to Masses and Close My Eyes. Maybe the best way to describe it is the bridge that signalled the end of TIMT and the start of KYE!! |

Back to the original question of songs they don't play enough (though they have played some of them at times in the past), I would like to see the following get a look-in:
Spectators of Suicide (Heavenly version) Born to End La Tristesse (what has happened to that?) PCP Enola / Alone Sepia Prologue to History Freedom of Speech Won't Feed My Children Door to the River Judge Yrself To Repel Ghosts Firefight Send Away the Tigers Peeled Apples Golden Platitudes Red Rubber 30 Year War Empty Motorcade The View From Stow Hill In Eternity Last edited by tomd2103; 16-10-2018 at 14:10. |
