Drum, fanfare, caesura: Attention, anniversary! Welsh pop-rock institution Manic Street Preachers will release their tenth album "Postcards From A Young Man" in September 2O10. After last year's deliberately past effort "Journal For Plague Lovers", which was produced under the guidance of noise great Steve Albini, the band announces on the upcoming record, among other things, choruses in stadium form à la "Everything Must Go" and a return to the classic rock roots of 2007's "Send Away The Tigers". "We're going for the big radio hits again this time," frontman James Dean Bradfield recently dictated into the microphone to NME editors. As producer, the trio once again relied on proven studio partner Dave Ering, who had previously made crucial contributions to five-and-a-half Manic Street Preachers albums (including the UK number one "This is My Thruth Tell Me Yours") and Bradfield's 2006 solo LPm. Review "Manic Street Preachers stand for big sound and big melodies on Postcards From A Young Man. And they make you want to listen to at least ten more albums, because they seem anything but tired." (jmcmagazine.co.uk) "Their tenth album may sound like ELO, but Manic Street Preachers are as full of intellectual fire as ever." (guardian.co.uk) "Instead, they present themselves as a melodic British indie rock band with a sense of melody and punchy songs that is far from its own zenith." (alternativmusik.de) "It's more than just an amazing sound. The way the Manics see it, they're not about success, money or fame. Even in their 40s, they're still driven by that renegade spirit that marked them years ago like that tangle of eyeliner and spray paint." (nme.com) "The Manics' tenth studio album is incredibly joyous and cheerful." (bbc.co.uk) "The British press has been full of praise for the Welsh trio's new CD. Critics have even called 'Postcards From A Young Man' the Manics' best album since 1996's Everything Must Go. 'Postcards' is also brimming with rock anthems, some of which, thanks to the many cotton candy strings, seem overdone if it weren't for the timelessly brilliant riffs and melodies." (Good Times, 12/2010 - 01/2011) "It's fitting, as the proto-rock scene straddles the tension between Britpop and hard rock. It doesn't necessarily sound modern, but it's enjoyable." (www.audio.de, 11/2010) "In the tradition of "Send Away The Tigers (2007)", this is a rather insidious work dressed in fanfare and hairdryer melodies, but still with ambiguous lyrics that reveal great anger: at a society that offers no development to the young, at the cult of the body and, last but not least, at the fundamental call for ugliness to be beautiful."
