Free Music Notes for Know Your Enemy
Free Music Review: another good record
Hit: 4 Stars
I never understood the love for their old album 'Holy bible' that is considered a classic. The albums they made after Richie dissapeared are their best. Their music is a perfect combination of poppy melodies and punky guitars but on this album they show more variation and experimentation then ever. They show they're not afraid to go down the dance and blues route and it works really well. This record has about the same quality that Everything must go and This is my truth... had but the last 2 tracks are a bit boring (that's not shame with 12 good tracks) . Overall it has all the elements I expect from a good album/band: melody, dynamics, experimentation.
Know Your Enemy Poster
So many people seemed upset when the Manic Street Preachers finally softened and went sugary and stadium rock, you'd think it was some sort of surprise. But--ironically, for a Manics album--Know Your Enemy should keep everyone happy. It's as big and lush as their recent records, catchy and stirring, but more musically imaginative than anything since the mangled metal of The Holy Bible. Nicky Wire's lyrical pretensions can niggle (he even takes a slurring, atonal lead vocal on the predictably antagonistic "Wattsville Blues," which sounds like the prepubescent Jesus & Mary Chain till James Dean Bradfield's guitar and harmonies bring a shaft of light), but complaining about being irritated by Nicky Wire is like moaning that your cat won't fetch a stick. For the most part, against this fresh, textured pop, his words--alternately nihilistic and impassioned, self-pitying and perverse--come alive again. The real joy is not just that the Manics now want to spice their chromium rock with raspberry-blowing synths, lush and sunny orchestration, and (on "Miss Europa Disco Dancer") Bee Gees rhythms and electro-funk. It's that they're finally confident and accomplished enough to do it well, and with more verve than they've mustered for half a decade. --Taylor ParkesAlternative Rock Music CDs
