Jul 28, 2009 Manic Street Preachers By Michele Yamamoto

Welsh band Manic Street Preachers are all set to release Journal for Plague Lovers stateside on September 15th. Having already been released in the U.K. and Europe, the album has enjoyed considerable success and is the first album since The Holy Bible to feature lyrics exclusively penned by former guitarist/lyricist Richey Edwards. Edwards left several notebooks with the band shortly before his disappearance in early 1995.

You can watch a video of album track “Jackie Collins Existential Question Time” here on YouTube.
