Approaching a new Manic Street Preachers record for the first time is always a strange experience. They are a band with an array of distinctive musical tropes – unabashed and glistening riffs, bombastic waves of orchestral strings – and also a band for whom no album is ever like anything they’ve done before.

BUmsm8. Moje Płyty 2018 subiektywny ranking By Bisior / 3 stycznia 2019 Koniec roku i początek kolejnego, to dobry moment do podsumowań. Nawet jeśli nie jest dobry, to i tak wszyscy tak uważają. Sprawdźmy co warto zapamiętać z 2018 roku A Franz von Stillfried-Ratenicz photograph called ‘Samurai Warrior 1881’ adorns the sleeve of the Manics’ 13th album, ‘Resistance Is Futile’. It’s a snapshot of one of the very last warriors of his kind. Much like the record’s title itself, is this a call to arms in the face of the changing tide, or an acceptance of defeat? “People get tired, people get old – people get forgotten, people get sold,” pines James Dean Bradfield on opener ‘People Give In’, but rather than collapsing under the weight of the sorrow at how “there is no theory of everything”, the band gloriously rise from the ashes – driven by their hardened will just to exist and grow stronger. ‘Liverpool Revisited’ carries that same defiant spirit. Whereas ‘SYMM [South Yorkshire Mass Murderer]’ from 1998’s ‘This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours’ was a song lost, lonely and aghast in the horror of the Hillsborough disaster and subsequent corruption, here Nicky Wire’s words celebrate the brotherhood and tenacity of the people of Liverpool in their victory for the lost 96. Oh, and to dispel the myth that Wire can’t play for shit – that’s his guitar solo. The lush abandon of ‘Hold Me Like A Heaven’ makes for a true album highlight, as the band come as close to hope as the Manics possibly can when they admit: “I hate the world more than I hate myself”. Their classic autumnal euphoria also drenches recent single ‘International Blue’ – the “sister song” to debut album classic ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ – and showcases their idiosyncratic knack of writing arena-ready anthems that smuggle in curveball cultural references. This time, it’s honouring the vision of French artist Yves Klein, and it’s a greatest hit for a band with too many to mention. The joyous bounce of ‘Vivian’ recalls the life of nanny-turned-street-photographer Vivian Maier, while ‘Dylan And Caitlin’ also looks externally for inspiration as the band recruit the criminally underrated Catherine Anne Davies, AKA The Anchoress, to deliver an ode to the doomed love of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas. File it alongside ‘Little Baby Nothing’ and ‘Your Love Alone’ under ‘greatest Manics duets’. ‘Sequels Of Forgotten Wars’ continues the thread of European influences and the haunted machine pulse that we heard on their last album, ‘Futurology’, while ‘In Eternity’ too has that glacial and alien shimmer of Bowie’s seminal 1977 album ‘Low’. The only real criticism of this record is that is doesn’t have the same sense of adventure as its predecessor, where the band were trying to find a new version of themselves. But it adopts the punk snarl of their debut album, ‘Generation Terrorists’, and the opulent, widescreen ambition of their fourth, ‘Everything Must Go’, allowing the band to spiritually bloom. Buy now: Manic Street Preachers tickets at the NME ticket shop The true character of this 13th album probably lies on ‘Distant Colours’ and ‘Broken Algorithms’ – lamenting how transient culture has become, how social media and fake news have diluted knowledge in the echo chamber of digital hiss and zeroes and ones. The band who once told you to know your enemy now realise that the enemy is omnipresent, yet also invisible and unknowable. Still, the Manics are kicking against the pricks just as hard as ever. In their existence alone they continue to fight the good fight – but the sheer scale, pop-pomp and balls on show here render their survival an absolute victory. Resistance may be futile, but the Manics continue to advance. Manic Street Preachers (CD - Columbia #19075809872) Overview ↓ Credits ↓ Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine The title Resistance Is Futile can be read two ways: it can be seen as a statement of defiance, a claim that no listener can withstand the bombast of Manic Street Preachers, or it can be seen as an admission that there is no reason to put up a fight in these politically charged times. The title and lyrics of "People Give In" -- a song where James Dean Bradfield sings "People get tired, people get old" -- may suggest that the Manics are on the verge of giving up the ghost as they approach middle age, but that's a feint. Resistance Is Futile is clearly the work of a band whose members cherish vitality above all other attributes, but the reason why the Manics remain an ongoing concern after a quarter century is that they never attempt to act like any other age than what they are. Which doesn't mean that the album doesn't deliberately call up ghosts. It's produced by Dave Eringa, who produced their 1993 breakthrough, Gold Against the Soul, and it leans into the anthemic stadium rock of that record, while also conjuring elements of the widescreen AAA rock of 1996's Everything Must Go -- a fusion that suits the Manics well, and is bolstered by a steely synth gilding that recalls alt-rock records of the late '80s. If the music unabashedly co-opts the past, the songs all deal with the present, mixing up the personal and political in equal measure. This seamless blend of aesthetics is also why Resistance Is Futile works musically. First, it comes on strong -- all sharp edges and gleam -- but once the blare fades, the melodies and their accompanying sweetness linger, leaving a lasting impression behind. blue highlight denotes track pick
