Rating: - Usual great Manics but with incredible guitars!

The Manics have always had the lyrics and the talent, but somewhere along the way they lost the ability to rock. This album combines their political style with brilliant riffs and guitar solos that are sadly missing from later albums. Slash 'n' Burn, Motorcycle emptiness and Stay Beautiful are all rock classics. If only the other five albums were as exciting...

Rating: - Rock 'n' roll from beginning to end!

I bought this album almost blindly as I had only heard Repeat (UK) in full, I listened to some short clips of the other songs, liked it, bought the album, and I was blown away!

If you love anything with electric guitars, then this album is for you! The best tracks are Natwest - Barclays - Midlands - Lloyds, Condemned to Rock 'n' Roll, Damn Dog and Stay Beautiful if you like the heavy stuff, and Little Baby Nothing and Spectators of Suicide for the lighter stuff. It's all mainly the same sound, but if you love rock 'n' roll then it wont matter, you'll love all the tracks. The only minor let down is Repeat (Stars and Stripes) because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the album, otherwise, it's a corker!!!

Rating: - Defining album of the human race.

Bloody brilliant. A classic collection of decomposing guitars and universal lyrics undefined by the lineral world we live in today. The album can only be fully understood backwards, but must be listened to forwards. Tracks such as Nat West-Barcleys-Midlands-Lloyds, Repeat (UK), Condemed to rock 'n' roll and Spectators of suicide define the home-sweet-home we are heading to, that Richey has already found. Buy it now, or face the concequences??!!

Rating: - Boyish But Decent Rock

A friend made me listen to 'Generation Terrorists' years ago, when Manic Street Preachers were not really famous yet. And so I bought the CD recently.

Wouldn't say I was disappointed, but the album's biggest weakness is its length. 18 songs of melodick poprock are too many. The less good ones had better been left out.

Still, there are highlights. Songs like 'Nat West - Barclays - Midlands - Lloyds', 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'Little Baby Nothing' and 'Spectators Of Suicide' are very good rock compositions - showing that MSP's strongest side was, is, and has always been the semi-ballads!

On 'Generation Terrorists', the Welsh band is clearly in the beginning phases of its musical development. The lyrics are already very political, original and interesting, but the music is rock in a kinda very boyish way.

Rating: - The best Manics album ever!

Bloody Amazing. Out of the eighteen tracks only two are only merely great. The sound is like no other Manics album. It's a seething rock beast. The best tracks include Slash n Burn, Motorcycle Emptiness, Born to End, Another Invented Disease, Condemened to rock n roll and crucifix kiss.
