This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

Manic Street Preachers

A lush, subdued masterpiece of Welsh melancholy. Sweeping orchestral arrangements meet weary political poetry in a record that feels like a long autumn afternoon.

September 9, 1998 · Sony Music

A sophisticated, orchestral weariness that finds a strange kind of comfort in disillusionment.

Moments Worth Listening For

The cinematic swell of strings and the slow-motion drum beat that opens The Everlasting.

The eerie Richard Burton sample cutting through the bridge of Ready for Drowning.

The vulnerable, high-register vocal delivery in the chorus of Born a Girl.
