Rewind The Film
Manic Street Preachers
(Columbia Records)
Four stars
"It's the longest running joke in history, to kill the working classes," the Manic Street Preachers rail on 30-Year War, this album's closing track.
Bristling with rage about Hillsborough and Orgreave, it's a sharp contrast on an album steeped in melancholy.
