Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: In coming back after the disappearance of guitarist Richey Edwards, Everything Must Go had to be special. Thankfully, the album shows extreme dignity in the face of adversity, with its big, Phil Spector-ish production and the pure lyrical perfection of "A Design For Life" (the least patronising, most spot on discussion of the working class ever to reach number two in the charts). Richey Edward's influence is still evident, as "Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky" is a pit of despair, but it is much more subtle than anything on "The Holy Bible", delicately comprised of James' vocals and a harp. Their love of art and literature continues, referencing Sylvia Plath ("The Girl Who Wanted To Be God"), war photographer Kevin Carter, and artist Willem De Kooning (on "Interiors", surely one of Nicky Wire's best bass parts since "La Tristesse Durera"). It's little surprise that this was the album to finally shove the Manics into the mainstream. --Emma Johnston

This is one of my all time favourite albums I've ever bought. I purchased it when it first came out in 1996. The one thing I love about this is that it's very unusual at times with some very interesting chord structures. Unlike a lot of artists this album doesn't have any fillers as all the songs are top notch. It even features a brilliant trumpet solo in the track Kevin Carter. This album should really get the same critical acclaim as Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon as it is trully excellent as I'm sure it's allready a classic.

Great album. It doesn't quite match The Holy Bible, but not many albums do. This is completely different as well, the music is more Indie compared to the punk of The Holy Bible. These songs are big anthems, which is discovered upon the chorus of the first song when the strumming acoustic guitars turn into thunderous electric guitars and drums.
Songs on here like A Design For Life, Enola/Alone, Everything Must Go, Australia and No Surface All Feeling are very powerful anthems, which are heavy on guitars, and have huge chorus's.
Get this album, or go for the anniversary edition coming out soon, whichever, its a recomended album

You know how it is. The key member of a band leaves/dies and either the band splits up or they carry on together and completely ruin the bands name. Only that's not how it is with the Manic Street Preachers fourth album, the first since the disappearance of lyricist, visionary and terrible guitarist Richey Edwards. On the contrary, it's quite good. Actually, it's the best thing they've ever done! It could have all gone so wrong but somehow everything slotted into place. Of course, the Cult of Richey will all tell you that the Manics just aren't any good without Edwards or that the only good songs on this album are the ones made from leftover lyrics left over by him. But despite their claims, praise needs to go to James Dean-Bradfield, Nicky ... Read More:

The manics have made a sheer breakthrough with this album-thrusting them into the mainstream. As for the tracks some are abstract enigmas, with diffrent and very lryicaly potent meanings. A few of the tracks relate to the recent departure of fellow band member richey james. 'Elvis impersonator' and 'Small black flowers' make a unique use of the harp! 'Design for life' has become a theme for a generation and i certainly want it played at my funeral! 'everything must go' is a superb album and a must buy for all!
