Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible.
Not only a great third album, but, for my money, a serious contender for best album ever recorded. This album stunned and shocked me when I heard it ten years ago on its release, and still stands as an amazing, dare I say it, work of art. If you haven't heard this album, approach with caution, as it is very hard-going and a very sombre listen, but your patience will be rewarded. [Edited 10/14/04 3:41am] | |

"BAD" is not MJ's third solo lp!!
Now that we've established that... Outkast-Aquemini Ice Cube-Death Certificate Prince-Dirty Mind Janet-Control Kirk Franklin-The Nu Nation Project (omitting the Christmas cd and God's Property) I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
