75Know Your Enemy finds the Manics attempting to write a protest song in just about every genre. This project, stretched out over 16 tracks and 75 minutes, quickly reaches epic proportions, with an ambition approached only by the magnitude of its flaws.
-
When it works, this can be pretty invigorating, but when it doesn't, it's utterly maddening.
-
Nowhere amidst all the confusion is there even a worthwhile tune to be salvaged. Hideously dull.
