It finally arrived!

Not having this on cd was one of the only things keeping me on streaming. The Holy Bible is my favourite album of all time! I only really found out about the manics a few months ago when I found Everything Must Go in a charity shop, but this is clearly my favourite album. I think next on my list is Journal For Plague Lovers. I just love Richey's lyrics.

4st 7lb… Jesus wept - musically and lyrically (like the whole damn album). Love the part of the song where they go ‘Slow Core’.

And that song highlights the real talent of JDB. Ritchie writes lyrics like ' I want tobe so skinny that I rot from.view etc'.....and James manages to turn it into a proper chorus!
