Summing up the albums
The new album just arrived and I thought about how I would sum up each album in one phrase or one sentence. I'm interested in what you can come up with.
Rules: Use one sentence per album at most, the shorter the better. It can be a review, the content of the album or what the manics are thinking about it. GT - We like Guns N' Roses GATS - We don't know what we were thinking / Most fun album THB - Humanity sucks / Masterpiece EMG - Everything must go (not the most creative phrase but it fits) TIMTTMY - Their best shot at mass communication KYE - We're sorry about the last album L - Power chords are so '90s / Hidden gem SATT - If you thought our songs are too complex JFPL - Holy bible with less guitar solos and less words (aka repeating verses) PFAYM - One lost shot at mass communication RTF - Growing old sucks F - Europe, fuck yeah

GATS - What would happen if bon jovi had better lyrics and stopped pretending to be cowboys on "steel horses" THB - empires and dance EMG - We can now afford to chop at M&S and not just army surplus shops TIMTTMY - White, sparse, wide open space sonically and aesthetically KYE - WE ARE TEH PUNX!!! L - Growing old and maturing gracefully SATT - We need more dosh for eyeliner, pies and cars JFPL - We need to do something artistic after that last atrocity PFAYM - We need more dosh for eyeliner, a gym membership and cars RTF - Growing old and maturing in a radio 2 friendly subtle angst way, and bmw drivers will love some of these tunes. F - we've done everything else so lets throw some electro dance into our rock mix

GT - We are intelligent fuck beasts of the realm of anxiety and boredom and we need money.
GATS - Yeah, maaaan! London!!!! THB - Christ, Richey is on one. Let's let him play and see what happens. EMG - Wow, the band didn't expect that of Richey. I guess they should have watched him closer. TIMTTMY - We miss wales. KYE - Let's go to Cuba! L - Manic Street Preachers write a bunch of half assed songs with little soul. SATT - People don't like us so let's record a big commercial rock fuckbeast. JFPL - Oooh look, James, I found Richeys diary!!! PFAYM - Took a dump to some power chords. RTF - We all moved back to Wales, got old, got angry. F - I need a holiday in Berlin
