1. This is My Truth
2. Everything Must Go 3. Lifeblood 4. Futurology 5. Rewind the Film 6. The Holy Bible 7. Journal for Plague Lovers 8. Know Your Enemy 9. Generation Terrorists 10. Gold Against the Soul 11. Postcards From a Young Man 12. Send Away the Tigers Superb / good / decent enough / no I would write reasons for each album but I'm not sure I have them. Is this the lowest placing of THB so far? I never got the hype for the album, good as I think it is. Some nice post-punk influenced songs, some of James's best melodies, but it never really had that gut punch a lot of people got from it. In general my lower placing of the Richey albums maybe comes from the fact that I never went through a teen angst phase at all. I don't really like angry, angsty stuff much. I can't relate to it. The richly melodic sculptures of my favourite Manics albums are the sort of things I've liked since I first started listening to music aged 10. My top five are certainly the lushest of the band's albums, other than PFAYM, which sits so low because it hasn't actually got any songs on it, just an annoying noise. To this day I can only remember how It's Not War and Some Kind of Nothingness go. SATT is the only Manics album I've never owned and probably never will, unless I find a cheap copy of the Japanese 2CD edition with the b-sides on. It took me years to even bother listening to it. I think I was just rebelling because Nicky had said in an interview that they were going to go even more electronic after Lifeblood (which got me excited) and then they went the other way. Important lesson learned: never trust anything Nicky says, ever. Lots of bands do different things throughout their careers, but what makes the Manics so enduring is how well they seem to do them. The variation in the lists here shows they managed to create an album of harrowingly bleak catharsis, do trashy glam leopard print riffing, and create lush, crafted pop albums - all well enough that they gain the love and respect from people of possibly greatly different tastes. TIMT and Lifeblood are genuinely loved by some people (I know a fair few synthpop fans who think Lifeblood is a masterpiece), rather than simply failed experiments. It's why I'll happily follow the band despite the occasional album that makes me want to bleach my ears. Last edited by IntlDebris; 05-09-2016 at 17:38.

It gets harder and harder... Top three and bottom two are consistent for me...
1) The Holy Bible 2) Journal For Plague Lovers 3) This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours 11) Postcards From A Youngman 12) Send Away The Tigers Love em so much, got Lifeblood on at the minute, amazing that this is the same band that did Gold Against The Soul. 4-10 changes all the time depending on my mood, time of year etc. Sometimes I go off an album for a while and get that nice feeling of rediscovery when I go back to it, I like that.

This has changed slightly since I last did it, due to realising I like KYE slightly more than I thought, amongst other things.
