LIFEBLOOD
By MANIC STREET PREACHERS
Track/album official King Shough Review
1985-Classic Manics rock-pop with a catchy tune
The Love Of Richard Nixon-bizarre song about Nixon that sounds good but lacks something
Empty Souls-Featuring the lyrics "collapsing like the twin towers" Both brilliant and emotional.
A Song For Departure-High tempo from the start sounding strangely like Robbie Williams but better, with great backing vocals.
I Live To Fall Asleep-Starting with a piano solo lyrics flow easily as does the music, great chorus and probably will be a single.
To Repel Ghosts-Great drumming and Guitar playing make this worthwhile, highly majestic too.
Emily-Love song, and a great one at that...Like a down-tempo Design For Life or something.
Glasnost-Over almost before it begins, sounds great though especially the guitar playing
Always/Never-Brilliant vocals and lyrics again with great backing, One of the best on the album.
Solitude Sometimes Is-Manics on fine form here again, another classic in the making. A single? Must be.
Fragments-"There is a place where peace exists" is a lyric taken out of this very good (album only probably) song.
Cardiff Afterlife-The final song on the album and it's worth getting to, a contender for best song on the album.
The K/S [King Shough] verdict: 9/10. Lifeblood catches the Manics at their best and as a result is something special that fans will love but probably won't do enough to persuade non-fans, it is worth your time though and is easily more focused and concise than their previous offering Know Your Enemy.
