Beats me. But here's what Nicky Wire said recently about the album as a whole. What’s been the motivation with the record? There are loads of strings on this record. I think the best strings that have ever been recorded are on Ocean Rain. Everything Must Go has been a big influence on us – we always look inwards to our own records when we record. The idea that melancholia and rage can be harnessed into something euphoric – that’s the key to some of our best records. They’re angry but they lift you up. The Beatles have been a big influence, it’s the first time we’ve given in to them, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road have been a huge influence. Primal Scream’s Dixie Narco period – the idea of adding a slight modernity to a classic sound. Paul Weller’s Wake Up The Nation. Sometimes it feels like he’s the only one able to have a critical eye. The lack of new bands with anything to say makes it feel more and more like he’s the only eye surveying the universe. www.manicstreetpreachers.com/global/blogs/diary/2010/07/21/nickys_blog_july |

Can't wait! I'm really excited about this album. Their last two releases were awesome, specially Send Away The Tigers.

Mid September methinks.
This single is so damn catchy. It kind of reminds me of The Girl Who Wanted To Be God, so I'm thinking this is heading a direction towards the Everything Must Go stuff.

Looks like we might have another superb Manics album this year. Very good news.
PS: some of the verse melody sounds like that Bad Day song hahaha

"This is the sequel to ‘Send Away The Tigers’, the vast return to form that saw them refine the gleaming stadium version of themselves into something more in tune with their old sex appeal.
There are big, big choruses. There are more strings than we’ve ever heard on a Manics record. There are gospel choirs. There are guest appearances from Ian McCulloch, Duff McKagan and John Cale."
Fantastic! Send Away The Tigers is my favorite album at the moment. Guess I haven't been that excited about a new album release since Dig Out Your Soul.

I'm really liking these new tunes, especially the Descent, it's a whole lot like Whatever. And Town Called Malice/Motown Junk is fantastic. It'll be interesting to hear the studio versions. |

I just listened to Design for Life and Kevin Carter (for the first time in, like, ten years)... they were awesome! great guitars, great structures, and hooks.
