Those fans that discovered this album when it was first released deserve to feel ever so slightly smug. It took most of the rest of the world until EVERYTHING MUST GO before this album was fully appreciated. Sounding like a cross between metal and punk, the energy and melody never lets up for one second. After the first three tracks are over, a quick lie-down is in order before you tackle the sentiment of "Motorcycle Emptiness." Lyrically, the Manics are giants; it is a great pity that their statements of ironic values of the 80s and 90s are not listened to more. Thank goodness this album was finally discovered.
