Full review
The Holy Bible was the third studio album by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on August 30, 1994 by Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony Records, unlike their two previous albums which had been released on the Columbia Records imprint. It peaked at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart. In August 2005 it topped Newsnight Review's 'Quintessential Newsnight Viewer' top 5 favourite albums poll, pushing Radiohead's OK Computer (a much bigger seller) into second place.
The album is both dificult, but also essential listening. Apart from reading as a useful history lesson and expanding he mind of its listeners it opens up a previoulsy hidden world of all sorts of depression. An excellent album, though not the best introduction to thi marvellous band if you have nt heard anything by them.
