Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in the wake of lyricist Richey Edwards's disappearance, 'Everything Must Go' is an incredibly passionate, highly melodic reinvention for the band. The Manic Street Preachers adopt a sweeping, symphonic Britpop sound, delivering bittersweet, poetic, and fiercely anthemic alternative rock.
