Free Music Review: Worms in the garden more real than McDonalds?
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the album the band promised would outsell everything that came before it and spark a revolution akin to Punk '77 that'd put an end to Madchester and safe, limp-wristed rock bands. And if that weren't a bold enough claim, they also planned to announce their retirement after these delusions of grandeur were achieved (they weren't, of course). The album comes off like a highbrow, militantly (incoherently) left-wing Guns 'n' Roses, with some mega-catchy hooks ("You Love Us," "Slash 'n' Burn," "Motorcycle Emptyness"). If the album has any serious flaws, though, they're to be found in their lyrics: I don't really understand what messages the band intended to convey in their songs.(My guess is that they're "open to interpretation" like Dylan's or Wire's lyrics.) The subject matter seems to fluctuate between half-baked pleas for socialism (remember guys: Welshman Aneurin Bevan spearheaded the NHS, which eventually had 700,000 British men, women, and children queuing up for surgery in 1977), depression, and nihilism. In other words, the Manic Street Preachers manage to put a verbose twist on nothing new.
Tough to find, but worth it if you do.
