I enjoyed Send Away The Tigers, the first time the Manics sounded truly free and uncalculating since Everything Must Go, and both solo albums had something to offer, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. You're either looking at a classic or a self-conscious retread of The Holy Bible. Here's hoping for the former.</p> Manics + Richey’s lyrics + Albini is a high stakes game.

Which would be a 'better' way for his family to attain closure. I figured something must be afoot when they announced that the next album would be using all his lyrics (they've used a few of his since his disappearance, primarily on Everything Must Go though those songs were already recorded in rough demos before he disappeared).</p> <p>The Steve Albini connection is very exciting to me, I will be interested to see what he brings to the album.</p> On seeing the headline I assumed it meant they’d found his bones or some such.

The Steve Albini connection is very exciting to me, I will be interested to see what he brings to the album.
