MSP - Holy Bible 10th Anniversary Edition (2CD/1DVD set) - $15.95

I really like this band in passing, havent ever really given them much time. Any suggestions on their best record?

I like the one the one they made afterwards, Everything Must Go, following the disappearance of guitarist Richey James. "Enola/Alone" is still one of my favorite songs ever.

You meant to post this in the "Ever buy an album based only on the album cover?" thread, didn't you.

More apropos yet still useless for your concerns, I bought Know Your Enemy for the song "Found That Soul," and it's the only thing I like on the album.

Didn't FT shit his pants over this for a few weeks and then denounce them as sub-z-grade Spoon imitators?

Holy Bible is one of my favourite albums ever

and MSP's only great album

the other albums all have some good songs on though, except the last two

i think i still have four of their albums (Holy Bible, Generation Terrorists, Everything Must Go, This is My Truth...)

This is the only album by them that I've heard/own, but I think it's really good.

LooGAR, you dolt, you've somehow managed to confuse Manic Street Preachers with Robbers on High Street. I think you might have DAT TARD.

Or, can't keep track of everything you shit your pants over one minute, and then almost immediately start heaving your *ahem* leavings at the very item that caused you to produce them.

Also, both of em have "street" in them, and aren't remarkable enough for me to feel the need to hear.
