Manic Street Preachers – Democracy Coma

Biography
Blackwood, Wales (1986 – present)
The Manics released their debut album Generation Terrorists in 1992. Their combination of androgynous glam punk imagery, outspoken invective and songs about “culture, alienation, boredom and despair” soon gained them a loyal following and cult status. The band’s later albums retained a politicized and intellectual lyrical style, while adopting a broader alternative rock sound. Enigmatic lyricist Richey Edwards gained early notoriety by carving the words “4 REAL” into his arm with a razor blade (narrowly missing an artery and requiring seventeen stitches) in response to the suggestion that the band were less than authentic. The dark nature of 1994’s The Holy Bible reflected the culmination of Edwards’ instability.
Following Edwards’ disappearance, Bradfield, Moore, and Wire persisted with the Manic Street Preachers and went on to gain critical and commercial success, becoming one of Britain’s premier rock bands. They have had eight top ten albums and fifteen top ten singles.

I must say that Your Love Alone is one of the better songs on Send Away The Tigers although that doesn't mean much seeing as it's on of their weakest albums (as already said)

@tresfoufou , "there is still no other band that really matters." I you really believe that then I feel sorry for you. Open your ears, there are lots of great bands, but you have to make an effort to find them.

Send Away The Tigers is one of their weakest (albums) as well I think...

I wonder who are all these people who give "Your Love Alone..." so many scrobbles. It's the ugliest song among the new stuff...
