Manic Street Preachers - 'There By The Grace Of God' (Epic)

4/5

Manic Sreet Preachers - 'There By The Grace Of God'

'Never trust the Manics,' would seem to be the moral of the story. They promised us they'd never write another stirring U2-ism, a la 'The Everlasting', and, judging by last year's grisly, back-to-basics 'Know You're Enemy' LP, they were sticking to their word.

Yet, here we are again with another stadium-sized chunk of grandiose balladeering. Although bordering on the po-faced with lyrical couplets such as 'With grace we will suffer/With grace we shall recover', if any band deserves a little bit of leeway in what could well be their career swansong, it's this lot.
