Know Our B-Sides  (Audio CD) 
by Manic Street Preachers

The opening track is surprising, not in the last that it actually sounds as good, if not better then the album version. Although you can hear the Avalanches influence clearly, it's still very recognisably an albumworthy Manics song. Perhaps the only one on this album. 'Pedestal' reminds me of 'Wrote for Luck'. It's a standard Manics B-side, if such a thing were to exist. Nothing to complain about, or write home about. Locust valley is...exciting. It's a nice fast-moving track that doesn't degenerate into stadium RAWK, as they tend to. The Ocean spray remix is also non-noteworthy.

Believe me, I love the manics, but this CD, is for collectors. If you simply wish to expand your already-bulging Manics collection, this is for you :)
