Manic Street Preachers - Know Your Enemy video collection (video)

Tuesday, Mar 17, 2009

Eight years ago this week, Welsh agit-rock band Manic Street Preachers released their sixth album, Know Your Enemy. The album’s style was highly idiosyncratic and more varied stylistically than earlier Manics albums. Notably, it’s the first time lead singer James Dean Bradfield penned a lyric for the band in the form of “Ocean Spray,” a song that hit #15 on the UK charts. Here are the singles for the record as well as a live version of “Baby Elian”.


Manic Street Preachers - “So Why So Sad”


Manic Street Preachers - “Ocean Spray”


Manic Street Preachers - “Found That Soul”


Manic Street Preachers - “Let Robeson Sing”


Manic Street Preachers - “Baby Elian” (Live)
