New Album Will Be Mostly Acoustic
http://www.nme.com/news/manic-street-preachers/70379

"We've virtually finished the first, which is acoustic. There's only one song with electric guitar on the album, but it's not bongos round the campfire. The acoustic album has a soul vibe, with Rolling Stones-style horns. The first single is very positive, but there are darker moments too."

This is either going to be brilliant or terrible.

I think its going to be a great album personally. If its anything like the quieter moments from Truth, Journal and the acoustic moments from the SATT/Postcards, then I'm sold.

I hope it'll be good. I enjoy songs like 1404 and Morning Comrades in their own way, but I wouldn't want a whole album of them.

Agreed, they're putting all their eggs in one basket which will either pay off omlette style or result in a yolky catastrophe.

Maybe it'll be another Nebraska. Or even Nick Drake

Agreed 100%. This is actually making me quite nervous which is completely insane since it's only a bloody Manics album and I have plenty of them already if I don't like the new one. Not to mention the fact I'm supposed to be trying to find a holiday I can actually afford online and not faffing about reading about this!

However, the "aggressive and experimental" second one, BRING IT ON I NEED THIS NOW.

It's hardly going to be just James with an acoustic guitar. James has said the band are driving the music so I can imagine the album to sound something akin to "Port Of Morrow" by The Shins - not much electric guitar but stunning arrangements.

Hoping for at least one Nicky vocal on this album. I think acoustic songs are his forte - the demo version of 'She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach' is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Haters to the left, etc

From the "band-driven songs" quote, I'm expecting nothing like that.

They failed miserably with their self-proclaimed natural successor to Appetite For Destruction. Now maybe they're back with MSP Lies.

An album of "Morning Comrades" sounds horrendous!

Well yes, hence the concern. Hadn't read (or hadn't remembered) the quote DK mentions which sounds more hopeful!
