Steve Albini To Produce Next Album?
Channel 4 Planet Sound pg 341
MSP and Albini Manic Street Preachers are considering getting Steve Albini to produce their next album, PS can reveal. "Steve Albini is on our radar and we like the idea of going to Chicago to work with him Nicky Wire told PS. Wire added "We wouldn't choose Albini to make the songs sound awkward and horrible, but to make them big. We're into Quadrophenia too and we might write the songs in a different way." Full Manics interview this weekend.

Cool, I think. Maybe the Manics have a Surfa Rosa on the horizon...
 On second thoughts, he mentioned sounding big. Didn't he do In Utero or am I mistaken?

One thing is certain, if they had let Albini loose on Underdogs even he wouldn't have been able to butcher it quite as spectacularly as Lord-Alge did.

I think it's a great prospect, chances are Albini would draw some of their rockier sound out of them anyway regardless of Nicky's Quadrophenia reference. I get the impression he's pushed that same 60s/70s town hall sound since EMG, and past that album it only rears its head on b-sides and IKTZ
Look what happened with Visconti on Lifeblood, you think we'd have had tracks like Always/Never if he'd not been at the helm? I think they play to their producers strengths (if the producer has any: see below) and I think they're astute enough to know Albini's strength is raw, driven rock music Quote:

I'm just glad we're already hearing official talk about the next album, and a late 2008/early 2009 release as suggested sounds about right, and an appealing wait time as well.
Nice to see the news on the first page of the main Planet Sound news as well.

Just wondering something... who produced know your enemy because I listened to it from beginning to end for the first time the other day and it sounds completely different other manic street preachers albums. The vocals sound like they were recorded from really far away on some of the songs and the drums sound weird.
I'm never clever enough to know anything about producers. Sorry if I sound really ignorant and stupid.

Its like a contradiction, if you get Albini in your obviously going for something rawer, stripped back more vital than SATT basically, so when Wire says he wants him to make it sound big he's kind of contradicting himself.
If they allow him just to do his thing, Albini could be the ideal producer for the Manics, someone to strip away all the commercial sheen of the last album.
