Rewind The Film - New Album Working Title

[Benny Hiroshima]

Yes, it's definitely the new Severn Bridge.

As someone who lives in Cardiff and used to play in a Bristol based band, I know that Bridge (and it's fucking toll prices) all too well.

2 years to think of a new idea well spent. Can we have the 3 of them stood on a beach for the next one?

I have been there a few times (not in the bridge, crossing to Bristol) but didn't thought its design was very different from other bridges. By that picture definitely looks like the cover one!

So it's an acoustic album titled Rewind The Film with the Severn Bridge on the cover - rewind the film to those days back in the 80s when we still had no electricity in Wales?

But the cover looks good, I think they tried to make that railing look like a film. Without band name on it they really should invert the R.

The first single video will be 70s themed so even more back in time

Quick question, so this the acoustic album then? Or the experimental one?

I think the entire era will see a mix of experimentation but yes, RTW, is supposably more tender. It's not going to sound like James does singing a song like "1404". There is a full effort from the band. I think album 2 will be more Manics than guest stars.

Cheers guys.

Having a song longer than 4 minutes is pretty experimental for them these days. Really looking forward to hearing Show Me The Wonder now.

The fact three of the songs start with a number makes me think they were originally gonna be on 70 songs of Failure And Hatred, and that that album's song title would all have started with a number 1-70

James Dean Bradfield from the band, who earlier this week announced details of a new album, single and tour, reveals in an interview with NME that the song is the most "angry" track on the album. Speaking in an interview you can read in full in the new issue of NME, available on newsstands from tomorrow (July 10), Wire says of '30 Year War': "It starts with the miners' strike and moves through Hillsborough, and it's a critique of the attack on the working classes over the last 30 years. It's the most spiteful, angry track on the album, and it's almost the link to the other record - it sounds like 'Lodger' era Bowie."

The band also spoke about the second record the Manics plan to release in early 2014. "I think by next March or April, we'll have it all ready," Wire says. "It's not just chucking something out; it's really fully formed. It's the next step on from 'The Holy Bible' and 'Journal For Plague Lovers'. It's quite intense but synthetic as well."

Manic Street Preachers will release their 11th studio album, 'Rewind The Film' on September 16. Recorded in the band's own studio in Cardiff, Rockfield in Monmouthshire and Hansa in Berlin, it features guest appearances from Lucy Rose (on 'This Sullen Welsh Heart') Cate Le Bon (on '4 Lonely Roads') and Richard Hawley on the title track.

The song is, unsurprisingly, 30 Year War.

Thanks for the quote! Can't wait to listen to the second one and I still haven't listen to the first!

Will try to find a transcription of the interview.
