Lifeblood (2004)Lifeblood2004 The album consists mainly of previously released material, except for "4 Ever Delayed" (recorded originally for Forever Delayed but unused due to complications), "Judge Yr'self" (a track recorded in 1995 for the Judge Dredd film soundtrack but never used), "Been a Son" (recorded for a BBC Radio One session) and "Last Christmas", which was performed by Jame.

Now, after a decade and a half of making some of the most stridently earnest music you can spend money on, Manic Street Preachers have released Lipstick Traces: A Secret History, which compiles 20 B-sides. Manic Street Preachers never conquered the world like they wanted to, but it's been a good enough ride that I don't begrudge them for trying, and this compilation, flawed though it is, is sure to please those who'd always hoped they would succeed.

Everything wrong with the Manic Street Preachers boils down to this: they took the name of their B-sides and rarities collection, Lipstick Traces, not from Benny Spellman's classic New Orleans R&B single, but from Greil Marcus' academic book on punk rock, which borrowed the title from Spellman. In other words, they come from the head, not the heart; they're beholden to platitudes and the texts that are traded between earnest college freshman and sophomores as they realize that the world is so much larger than what they've known before. This can be heard in the band's music, but not too clearly on Lipstick Traces, even if it's billed as a "Secret History of the Manic Street Preachers. The second disc of Lipstick Traces is a little more interesting since it's devoted to nothing but covers.
