DESCRIPTION
Manic Street Preachers' 10th studio album Postcards From A Young Man features guest vocals from Ian McCulloch on one track ("Some Kind of Nothingness"), John Cale on piano ("Auto-Intoxication") and Duff McKagen playing bass ("A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun"). Manics bassist Nicky Wire sings lead vocals on "The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever" alongside drummer Sean Moore on the trumpet. Postcards From A Young Man is the follow up to 2009’s Journal for Plague Lovers but is musically very different and more in the vein of Send Away The Tigers and Everything Must Go with unashamed soaring choruses, lots of strings and gospel choirs. It was recorded in Cardiff with producer Dave Eringa and mixed by Chris Lord Alge in the US. The Deluxe Mementos Boxset contains a CD, DVD and cassette plus ‘Notes Words Lists Ideas Stuff Inspiration’ a 42 Page scrapbook by Nicky Wire (Includes handwritten lyrics, lists and notes plus exclusive band photos) .

I happened to hear a song from the Manic Street Preachers on a radio show and have since bought every album they've done since and including The Holy Bible. Their albums vary a lot in style . Some people may not like certain albums but I appreciate their excellent musical abilities and arrangements. Sean Moore is in my opinion the best drummer perhaps ever. Nicky Wire is a great bassist / guitarist and James Dean Bradfield is an excellent singer / guitarist. Wire writes the lyrics and Bradfield and Moore write the music to go with it. I like the fact that the drums have such a prominent role in their music. The music is very refined , they spend a lot of time on each songs arrangement. It is hard for me to believe they aren't more popular in other counties including the US. They don't seem to try to write top 40 music although I understand they have had many hits in the UK. I'm glad I happened across them. They are the best band in the world in my opinion. Perhaps the best ever. Because of the complexity of their music it is hard to tell how good a song is from hearing only 20 or 30 seconds of it. I almost didn't buy Postcards From A Young Man because I didn't like the sound of these excerpts. I'm glad I took a chance on it. This is a great album. Although I'm not prepared to say it is their best because they've done a number of excellent albums. I hope this is helpful.
