The Manics pull out all the stops, with guest appearances from Duff McKagen (Guns n Roses), Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen) and John Cale (Velvet Underground).
"With a history spanning 16 years and millions of album sales, The Manic Street Preachers are one of Britain's greatest bands, garnering both critical acclaim and commercial success.
After 2009s angular and aggressive 'Journal For Plague Lovers', The Manics have returned to an anthemic rock sound that recalls their 1996 breakthrough 'Everything Must Go'. According to bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire "From the get go, we conceived it ('Polaroids From a Young Man') as our last chance to attempt to communicate on a mass level. We felt it was our last shot at rock immortality."
The Manics certainly pull out all the stops, with guest appearances from Duff McKagen (Guns n Roses), Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen) and John Cale (Velvet Underground). 'Polaroids From a Young Man' proves why The Manic Street Preachers remain one of rocks most vital and respected bands."
