Season 1: Do You Love Us? (Manic Street Preachers)

The Big Mates are once again joined by music journalist, broadcaster, DJ, lecturer, and Manic biographer Simon Price to continue their discussion on Journal for Plague Lovers by Manic Street Preachers.

Adam, Steve, Lucas, and Simon continue to go track-by-track on the Manics' ninth studio album. They explore the decision to finally use lyrics left by Richey Edwards and discuss the impact this has on the album and their career. They also find time to discuss kinetic sand, Billy Idol, and Giovanni Ribisi. Does the second half of the album match the first? Will Lucas have a dramatic change of heart? But is this pants is telling? Find out on this episode of Do You Love Us?
