This actually sounds rather fantastic.

the working title for the next album "70 songs of hatred and failure" follow the damned title as a guide plz!

Up next for the Manics is a Gorillaz-style project where they're all depicted as hot blonde teen anime girls. It will have guest vocals from any current female artists who'll take the money.

All the videos will star Nieko Wurree!

I'd echo what others have said about recording music like that of The Vorticists and You Know It's Going To Hurt, plus the FD b-sides. Really interesting sounding music that sits somewhere inbetween the 'two versions of the band'. I also really liked the music of Journal but that might just be down to production.

Journal's production wasn't really that special, tbh, IMO it's pretty standard stuff. It probably just seems better than it actually is because the album's sandwiched SATT and PFAYM, both of which have the sort of average commercial rock production that's a bit of a non-entity.

i never never use the term "OMG" but OMFG I love Automatik Teknicolour and I haven't thought about that song for ages! All togther now: "So write the damaged letters..." Ahh that's gonna be in my head all night!

I want something raw in sound, like JFPL demos, with James' writing lyrics and Nicky on main vocals, short songs like 2-3 minutes and the whole album not longer than 40 minutes. Sean's solo on trumpet required.

you don't care about it selling well then

TStenner · #40 24-09-2011, 21:19

plenty of guitar riffs, production not too polished and james' voice to be rejuvenated.

it would be quite nice to have an album where not even one song is dedicated to their past, and on the tour they'd played more than 5 songs off the new album. ho hum, a boy can dream.

in fact I don't. I'm through the feeling like I know the only truth and I should be an apostole or umm... 'a preacher' of it and tell it to everyone and everybody on this planet should understand they are the greatest band ever. so if nobody buys it but me, I don't care. I'm happy I know how amazing the Manics are. the others don't have to.

hummingbird · #42 24-09-2011, 22:04

2-3 minute songs is too short..3-4 better and 45-50 minute length

To be fair the Manics won't either, so what the hey!

Seriously though Deets, that's not the best idea in my eyes

oh they'll be wanting it to sell more than 4 copies

Well I hope by the time they come to do some more recording that James' voice is a lot better than on This is The Day.

I'd like a harder, sharper, dirtier sound from them, while there's still some fire left in their bellies.
