	The Holy Bible (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Holy Bible was the third studio album by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers.
		The first single from the album, "Faster", was released on June 6 and peaked at #16 on the British singles chart.
		The album is notable for its use of instruments, or rather, its limited use of instruments.

	King James Version of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The act of Bible translation into any vernacular was a political as well as a religious statement, and remained so whether the Bible translation was a private endeavour, or sponsored by a monarch and his government.
		The Geneva Bible continued to be quite popular, and continued to be reprinted well into the period of the English Civil War, in which soldiers of the New Model Army were issued Genevan New Testaments called "The Soldiers' Bible".
		Although influenced by the Bible in general, they likely could not have helped being influenced by the style of writing the King James Version used, prevalent as it was during their time.

	Richey Edwards: In the Cardiff Afterlife, They sensed the breaking of their lives...
		This album, by contrast, bluntly contended that the Manics and their audience were complicit in just about all the horrors it described.
		The Holy Bible took root in the wake of an uncertain phase of the group's progress.
		The Holy Bible is released by Epic, 6 December.

	Three Monkeys The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers ten years on.
		Released in May 1994, The Holy Bible was an album that sounded like nothing else that had been done by the band or their contemporaries and is often considered the zenith of the Manics’ artistic achievement.
		The re-issued album comes in the form of a box set which also includes the previously unheard US mix of the album as well as a DVD featuring performances by the band and a 30 minute interview with remaining band members James, Sean and Nick.
		The DVD is a valuable addition for any Holy Bible-era Manics fan who didn’t spend the mid-'90s glued to the TV and should also be an eye-opener for those who came to the band later in their career.

	Review of "The Holy Bible" by the Manic Street Preachers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
		Most of the songs on the album have a political dimension - the Manics are well-known socialists and proud of it.
		Some of my other favorites from "The Holy Bible" are "Archives of Pain", with its call to "give them the respect they deserve"; "Mausoleum", about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; and "4st 7lb", a song about anorexia (translated into American units, 4st 7lb is 63 lb).
		The album ends on a rousing note, P.C.P., a song denouncing the drug of political correctness, which lulls the well-meaning with a false sense of progress by effecting superficial change while ignoring systematic injustice and oppression (and at the same time creating a sort of PC thought-Police, another way to get the acronym).

	The Music Box: Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible: 10th Anniversary Edition (Album Review)
		Formed in 1991 and fashioned after The Clash, the Manic Street Preachers had its heart set upon rescuing the British music scene from the acid-drenched dance grooves pouring forth from Manchester, and it quickly became a controversial force that was either loved or hated by the English press.
		As a result, the collective’s third album The Holy Bible wasn’t released in the U.S., though that didn’t stop the Manic Street Preachers from developing a cult of fans that spanned the globe.
		Indeed, The Holy Bible was the Manic Street Preachers’ finest moment, and with its revolutionary slogans, angst-filled despair, and snarling punk rock attitude, it was a direct descendent of The Clash’s London Calling, the Sex Pistol’s Never Mind the Bullocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, Nirvana’s Nevermind, and Jane’s Addiction’s Ritual de lo Habitual.

		Manic Street Preachers release a 10th Anniversary Edition of their acclaimed third album 'The Holy Bible' with accompanying DVD on 6th December 2004.
		The imagery of the album and subsequent singles, videos and tours was also the bands most striking.
		The NME proclaimed The Holy Bible "a sneering, hateful, merciless, intelligent, articulate, nasty, raging assault of scattershot soundbites" and awarded it 9 out of 10.

		I'm completely in love with this album though, so what's that say about me? I say this because The Holy Bible is physically painful to listen to, especially if you know the history behind the songs and the events surrounding it.
		Lyrically, this album is only helped by the fact that Richey expresses his truths in such an existientially despairing poetic way, with lots of interesting intellectual references.
		I think it says a lot about the album when a song about how one longs to return to childhood because their current life is so lacking hope ("This is Yesterday") is a relief from the pain.

		Richey's last album with the band is, to me, a landmark in music, one of the finest albums of all time, and most probably unsurpassable by anything the group can concoct in its wake.
		The Holy Bible covers issues including corruption, anorexia, the death penalty, the holocaust, exploitation, and does it all with a brutal honesty that some ears may find hard to take.
		Anyway, this glorious, nifty 10th anniversary edition features: an original remastered version of the album complete with bonus live tracks; the US mix of the album with early demos and radio 1 sessions tacked onto the end; and, of course, the frequently-mentioned DVD, which is worth the price alone.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Holy Bible 10th Anniversary Edition [2CD + DVD] [Explicit Lyrics]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
		It has been noted that this album was released close to "lifeblood", the bands latest studio album, and so making the band painfully susceptible to comparisons with their selves today, and their past glory.
		This tenth anniversary edition of the Holy Bible is perhaps the most significant reissue since the King James edition of the book of the same name contributed to the spread of literacy among the masses in the seventeenth century...
		This is Yesterday, the only mellow part of the whole album, is an aching lament for a sepia-tinted past, and Die in the Summertime, despite the despair evident in the title, has a sweetness at its heart with its nostalgic longing for a return to the childhood innocence of 'whole days throwing sticks into streams'.

	Barnes & Noble.com Music - The Holy Bible [10th Anniversary Edition] -- Manic Street Preachers - CD - Remastered / ...
		An album that was considered too difficult of a sell in 1994 is now given a deluxe treatment similar to Epic/Legacy's triple-disc 25th anniversary set of the Clash's London Calling -- an implicit acknowledgement that the Manics' high-water mark can sit comfortably next to an album considered one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
		All this material enhances the original album not by providing revelations -- the U.S. mix, unsurprisingly, is a louder, bolder mix that doesn't harm the songs but hasn't aged as well as the tightly wound original mix -- but by illustrating what a singular record this was.
		Richey James went missing on February 1, 1995, and after that The Holy Bible was frozen in amber, forever seen as his last will and testament, just like how In Utero seemed like a suicide note in the wake of Kurt Cobain's suicide in April 1994.

		The Holy Bible is pseudo-musician self-abusive anorexic junkie alcoholic genius Richey James Edwards' album, from start to finish.
		The Holy Bible could easily be seen as a concept album, each one dealing with a new character, each as depraved and sadomasochistic, yet sympathetic and fatally damaged as the next.
		It deserves to be on the album, certainly, but it seems underwhelming when placed at the start of the album.

		The almost mystic story of the disappeareance of the 27 years old lyricist a few time after the release of this album, that more than one have considered the suicide note in the style of In Uthero, make the album dark and morbid, but there are much more than the legend.
		There in this album is the legacy of one of the more talented lyricist in rock in the 90s, in a pure fusion of rock and poetry.
		But the lyrics is the very reason why this album is my favourite gem: shots of poetry and slogans weaving storys about the word: prostitution, comunism, anorexia, suicide, religion, racism, the holocaust, fascism, selfharm...

	Barbelith Underground > Radio & Music > Manic Street Preachers- Holy Bible 10th Anniversary Edition
		The 10th Anniversary edition of The Holy Bible's out- it's got the album (plus live tracks), an alternate US mix of the album and a DVD (which I haven't watched yet cos my DVD drive's borked).
		I just listened to the US mix of the album (which apparently the band prefer- not sure when they decided it was better, whether it was back then or now, which is obviously important).
		I think it's because Holy Bible is an album that hates itself for hating itself - "self-digust is self-obsession honey" - and so there's no space for wallowing there at all.

		After the luke warm reaction to their previous album ‘Gold Against the Soul’ (if ever an album needs re-appraisal it’s ‘Gold Against the Soul’ still this writers second favourite Manics album ever) the Manics star was fading.
		By their own admission ‘The Holy Bible’ is when the Manics vision finally came together, the lyrics, the music, the image, the artwork, the manifestos, it all suddenly worked.
		The Holy Bible never left a lot of us, but to focus heavily upon it once more is to revel in its' beauty.

		You can even rate the album The Holy Bible and write your own review to tell others how good or bad it is.
		The Holy Bible is the sound of a band plunging into chaos, taking in such joyous subjects as the holocaust ("The Intense Humming Of Evil"), prostitution ("Yes"), anorexia ("4st 7lb") and general despair (everything else).
		It's not the easiest album in the world to listen to, with James Bradfield often having to cram all the words together to fit them all in, but it's worth the perseverance.

		Suffice to say, this is not a party record, but for pure, intelligent hatred, of the self and of others, it is fascinating, and still one of the Manics greatest moments.
		But I use this word carefully, for it is a twisted song that follows, with words that most would not have the courage to air in front of a therapist, let alone the whole world.
		This is not an album for the faint hearted.

		There is a music video of another song, not on "Bible", called "Judge Yr'self" which shows the group hanging out together, signing autographs while touring, and funny footage of a woman with "4 Real" written on her arm with marker (a reference to Richey, who mutilated "4 Real" on his arm).
		The inclusion of the US mix is great because you hear a familer album almost for the first time.In the band interview, included on the DVD, Nicky Wire and James Bradfield both admit that they like the US mix better than the orignal on some songs, and I would have to agree.
		one of the main reasons people are buying this is because of the new mix of the holy bible, which to me sounds like modern american radio, too polished, and not aggressive enough to suit my liking, with the exceptiong of she is suffering and pcp.

		When Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible was released in 1994 I didn't listen to it very much.
		That's right, The Holy Bible, has been reissued and in the Stateside case issued for the first time in a deluxe package including both the British mix and the mix that was intended for the American market - meaning louder drums and guitars for most part.
		The Holy Bible was a unique piece of rock and roll, a singular burst of alienation, despair, and cruel truths married to music that bludgeoned while lifting the listeners own spirits.

		This album is undoubtedly dark and difficult, especially once you know What Happened Next (Richey Edwards, lyricist and nominal guitarist disappeared in early 1995 and has not been seen since).
		This is not The same Holy Bible what many of us has read but someway this also really heavy and teaching masterpiece.
		the fact that this album was followed only 18 months later by the comercialist cop out Everything must go is depressing, but if you want a taste of the real manics, and a brief glimpse into the brilliant mind of Ritchie Edwards buy this album.
