[A104] ‘You Stole the Sun From My Heart’
A fairly craven attempt at a commercial success that resulted in a mediocre song that very poorly represented its parent album, ‘You Stole the Sun From My Heart’ has little to recommend it.
[A103] ‘The Everlasting’
Although it has often been criticised for one line of its lyrics, ‘The Everlasting’ is one of the most majestic Manics singles and a fine, dramatic opener for their fifth and highly successful album.
[Album] This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
Proving to be an enormous commercial success and a big winner at the 1999 Brit Awards, This Is My Truth has still gone on to be seriously under-respected due to the dominance of mid-paced – but actually wonderful – songs.
[B102] ‘Montana/Autumn/78′
Theodore “Ted” Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is not strictly a conventional subject for a song but a perfect one for a Manics B-side – and so it proves with ‘Montana/Autumn/78′.
[B101] ‘Prologue to History’
With a host of interesting references, and an unforgettable piano-driven sense of drive, ‘Prologue to History’ is justly considered perhaps one of the best Manics B-sides yet released.
