9/21/2023 0 Comments The Prodigy Experience AlbumC later told Top Of The Pops: The Story of 1992: "We knew the timing was right for a song that poked fun at the rave scene… People said this song was promoting ecstasy and drug culture, but it wasn’t, it was sending it up.” In 2021 they released their fourteenth studio album The Ultra Vivid Lament. The Manics continue to go strong thirty years on, having topped the UK Singles Chart on two occasions with 'If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next' and 'The Masses Against The Classes', the first new No.1 of the 21st century. While they managed to stay at arms length from the Britpop scene that emerged in subsequent years, this was an album that helped re-establish British guitar based music at a time when the grunge acts of the US were dominant, and paved the way for many of the acts that followed later in the decade. The record spawned five UK Top 40 hits, among them 'Motorcycle Emptiness', 'You Love Us' and 'Slash n Burn', and helped the band gain mainstream attention. With 18 tracks packed full of energy and lyrics, provided by Wire and Edwards, touching on the political and the personal, the record matched the hype that had been generated by the band’s earlier single Motown Junk and their increasing press profile, in which they modestly declared the record would be the ‘greatest rock album ever’.
