The Manics

Re: The Manics

This. Vastly overrated. And mostly boring.

They were ok, so so but massively better than the Stereophonics; just a parochial example without more extensive comparisons which would further demote them.

Re: The Manics

Smiths , student indie band

Pixies .....rock band

Mogwai.....rock band

Wet Leg .....student indie band


My view is if someone has a heavy sound they are in my record collection

The NME can piss off

Bloody students

I'm an unreconstructed Rammstein fan myself.

It's a hugely influential website.

I love Honey Do. It's a completely original riff. Beverley is the band.

Have you heard Wednesday? They are a mixed bag but they have some good tunes.

Re: The Manics

Heavy riffage from the Godsticks, Dan isn't in the video but he did finish the album with them before leaving,
I will be going to see them this month at Fuel, (I have to pay :hehe:) will be strange to see them without him.

I think his voice needs to be more abrasive

Great guitar , bass and drums

His singing is a bit too radio friendly on this one

I find a lot of student types like riffing bands like smashing pumpkins but once they do an interview in metal hammer etc they vanish and its all back to floppy haircuts

No, I haven’t. I’ll give them a listen this evening.

I found them on Pitchfork when their album first came out. They scored it 8.8, and it also did well on Metacritic (89%).

Re: The Manics

I listened to them last night. Not bad at all. An 8.8 on Pitchfork can make a career.
