A piece in the Observer today cites this album as the start of the record company fightback against internet piracy - apparently the album is such a work of art that people will flock back to record stores to buy it.
Smith says high creative standards will lead the public back towards the pleasure of owning an original CD album, or going to the cinema to see a film. "We are doing this with the new Manic Street Preachers album, Journal for Plague Lovers," he said. The CD has been designed around the manuscript that Richey Edwards left to his band-mates before he disappeared in 1995. "It is a fabulous thing to own and other record companies are doing the same sort of thing. God knows, though, it is not a cure for this problem on its own."

Non of the above applies to you, though...
I will, of course, be buying it.

WTF Dave? You post an article about what record companies are doing to curb piracy then you post a torrent to the manics latest album so a cock like speedfreak and many others like him can steal it???

God!!! you're a moron... you'll be able to listen to it for free on spotify as from monday. oh are they also stealing? c***!
I've no idea who speadfreak is or was - so couldn't comment on his or her cockiness.
It took me 20 seconds to find it on pirate bay - the whole world knows about that - anyone could have done that.
But I did stress that this album in particular is being cited as the start of the fight back for the record companies...
To be honest, I'd forgotten they had an album due out until I'd read it in the Observer and then speadfreak asked about it - I'll be trundling down to HMV next week to buy a copy.
Cheers

What a poet!
No cuz listening to and leeching are two different things. You can work that out can't you?
I'm looking forward to going to the record store and buying this album.
i think the manics should have done the decent thing and split up years ago ... its like dragging a dead carcass about now , they look awful and are really stinking the place out

true, I like some of the old songs but what's the deal with Nick Wire, he looks ridiculous with his size, stickers, patches, badges, make-up and his annoying little jumps whilst playing.
I'm so excited a bout seeing them in a few weeks, the new album is great!
In this season of goodwill, let's pray that you all go the way of Richey Edwards pretty soon!
While I'm at it, I hate you too.
