This is something we've been waiting a long time for - a truly great Manics album.
-
If it doesn't quite scale the dizzy heights of 'The Holy Bible' or 'Everything Must Go', it certainly comes close and is, in many ways, the quintessential Manics album - the cathartic regeneration that the band really needed in order to become relevant again.
-
The material is of a consistently high standard, nary a clunker in the bunch, but while many will be surprised by Send Away The Tigers, few will be bowled over.
-
Send Away the Tigers never seem heavy-handed, which is something that even their best albums often are. So, this isn't merely a return to form, then--it's also a welcome progression from a band that only a couple of albums back seemed stuck in a rut with no way out.
-
This is a band playing to its strengths.
-
"Send Away The Tigers" is not only the most enjoyable Manics record in years, it's the most consistent.
-
UncutTigers... sees the brain of the Manics reunited with their strongest qualities: their heart, humanity and soul. [Jun 2007, p.102]

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.
