Reviews

A forensic exploration of their compositions and recordings, and everything that has been poured into them . . . completely definitive * MOJO ★★★★★ * Does for Manic Street Preachers what Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head did for The Beatles * UNCUT * No one understands the inner workings and shared aesthetics of Manic Street Preachers like Keith Cameron . . . phenomenal -- NICKY WIRE Cameron expertly tracks [the Manics'] trajectory in all its glory and tragedy, his song-by-song approach allowing for exhilarating close reading . . . The book's carefully curated selection allows for a fascinating analysis of this wildly idiosyncratic band, one that catches as much of their complicated spirit as it does their turbulent history . . . This is heaven for Manics fans, but even those readers without any spray-painted white denim lurking in their wardrobe will find it hard to deny the power of the story that unfolds through Cameron's rich analysis . . . Superb -- Victoria Segal * THE TIMES *
