Journal for Plague Lovers (Pt. 1 with Simon Price)

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

The Big Mates are joined by music journalist, broadcaster, DJ, lecturer, and Manic biographer Simon Price to discuss  Journal For Plague Lovers by Manic Street Preachers.

Adam, Steve, Lucas, and Simon 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 Simon's love of the band, his work with them over the years, and of course Simon's book, Everything. Is this The Holy Bible Part Two? Can the Manics recapture that spirit? Will Lucas even like it? Find out on this episode of Do You Love Us?
