Postcards From a Young Man

Manic Street Preachers

A maximalist explosion of orchestral rock and gospel-tinged anthems. Literate, soaring, and unashamedly big, it captures a band chasing one last pop masterpiece.

September 20, 2010 · Columbia

A grand, orchestral celebration of survival and the enduring power of the pop song.
