May 20, 2011This is the manics second best album after Journal For Plague Lovers. Every song is a real belter. The manics are known for being a rock band and a pop band but this is the PERFECT combination of rock and pop. Absolutely brilliant!
-
TimEJul 24, 2007This is probably their most complete album since Everything Must Go, maybe even The Holy Bible. Every song is a belter, a real return to form.

DaveS.Jun 19, 2007This includes some of their best songs. 'Autumnsong' is phenomenal. 'Indian Summer', 'The Second Great Depression' and 'I'm Just A Patsy' are brilliant too.

[Anonymous]Jun 15, 2007The return to form they've been looking for for over a decade. Their best since "Everything Must Go".

FranciscoLJun 3, 2007James Dean Bradfiled is a highly talented musician, singer and guitar player. Not a genius, but an fantastic music maker. Every song he makes is worthy, and so is this new Manics album, a new masterpiece. Nicky is great, too.

AndyHJun 3, 2007I haven't listened to this album (hence the '5'), nor do I care for much they have done recently; I am a huge Richie-era Manics fan though. But I had to point out the ridculous hypocrisy of the "Drowned in Sound" review (40%) - "...should have called it quits three albums ago". This from the site that gave their last album - Lifeblood - 90%. Try reading your own output. Morons.

RuslanNJun 1, 2007This aibum is certainly better than Lifeblood but in my opinion it is very inconsistent

TimothyMMay 28, 2007Best album since "EMG"...."Your Love Alone..." and "Underdogs" are great Manics songs.
-
-
TomBMay 28, 2007Still not the album the diehard fans crave, but certainly far better and complete than previous effort 'Lifeblood'. Whilst 'Rendition' hints at the bands cult 'Holy Bible' era, 'Autumn Song' gives a nod to the much loved 'Everything Must Go' period. By no means the Manics best work to date, but by no means their worst.

DecepticonPomMay 27, 2007After pretty much giving up hope after the abysmal Lifeblood, I really thought there was nothing left for the Manics. But this actually harks back to Know Your Enemy in a very good way.

StephenRMay 26, 2007Good stuff. Pacifies the hardcore fans with enough sweet pop melodies to entertain. Bradfields music seems to overshadow Wire's increasingly lacklustre lyrics (despite some keen observations on Baghdad and rendition). Overall, a good return to form, shame it didn't come after "this is my truth..."

ToddWMay 24, 2007If you tolerate this as a great Manic Street Preacher's album, then your children will definitely be next.

JuliaAMay 23, 2007sweet waiting! they still got the charm and don't dissapoint me at all. don't trust the critics, just prove by your own ears!

PaulWMay 21, 2007One of their most accessible albums, full of great pop/rock tunes and one of the albums of the year so far.

AndreaMay 21, 2007Best Manic album? Perhaps "Everything must go" is better but this is a wondeful album. "Send away the tigers", "Autumnsong", "I'm just a patsy", "Underdogs" and "Your love alone is not enough" are incredible songs. This album is a gem, this band is great!

AdilSMay 19, 2007I'm very pleased with SATT as a long time manics fan. It's more catchy than Lifeblood, which is not a bad thing. I think it's what the band needed. At 10 songs and close to 40 min, it's quite coherent and consistently good throughout. I really enjoyed the guitar tones and production on this album.

-
VGAluisMay 19, 2007perfect pop/rock songs, one of the best works of the manics.
-
-
danxMay 16, 2007Pretty much the best thing they've done since Everything Must Go. Concise, powerful, catchy, rocking.

-
"Send Away The Tigers" is not only the most enjoyable Manics record in years, it's the most consistent.
-
Send Away The Tigers is the bloated swansong from a band that should have called it quits three albums ago.
-
This is something we've been waiting a long time for - a truly great Manics album.
