| Britney Spears – Baby One More Time Lyrics
| 22 years ago

I apologise for 'not being educated' on Heavy Metal and Slipknot. Now I think you owe me an apology for not being educated full stop, you illiterate, incoherent fucking idiot.
If Slipknot aren't 'sellouts', why are they on multi-million dollar record contracts? Why are their music videos aired on music television? The term 'sellout' is generally used by self-important elitist idiots like your good self to describe bands on record contracts ie. all the good ones. The only bands who aren't 'sell outs' are unsigned, and that's generally because they're too shit to get a record deal. Tosser. |

| John Lennon – Imagine Lyrics
| 22 years ago

Another brain-dead hippie anthem in which the dearly departed postulates ideals that he himself had no intention of living up to. Imagine no possessions? On which limousine ride do you suppose Lennon dreamed up this compelling lyric? And I wonder how much he paid for the pen he used to write it? My thanks to Mr. Chapman for ridding the world of this detestable fraud. |

This is arguably the best pop song of the 90s. It's understandable that an assortment of angst-ridden, self-consciously 'rebellious' teenagers should vilify Britney Spears in a pitiful, wretched effort to reflect on their own supposed 'uniqueness', but ultimately their reaction is as brainlessly knee-jerk as the legions of 'popular kids' who purchase Britney's records by the bucket load. So fuck off, cut your wrists, write some bad poetry and play air guitar with a tennis racket, you acne faced Slipknot worshipping wankers.
As I said, the song is pop genius. Much better than the pseudo-R'N'B influenced shit she's putting out now. |

| Manic Street Preachers – Enola/Alone Lyrics

Everything Mus Go's most defining and, in my opinion, best track: simultaneously optimistic and melancholic. According to the eminent Simon Price, who penned a book about the Manics, Enola/Alone is about 'carrying on in the face of loss'. Guaranteed to make me happy whenever I hear it. |

| Manic Street Preachers – The Intense Humming Of Evil Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
Maidanek and Oscwecim [more commonly known, of course, as Auschwitz] were two Nazi death camps in Poland. This entire song is loaded with references to Dachau: Sigmund Rascher was Joseph Mengele's equivalent there, Arbeit Macht Frei was the adage inscribed on the gate, Harthheim castle was an extermination site for invalids prior to the war.
The song was apparently inspired by a visit the band paid to Dachau and Belsen. So there you go. |

| Manic Street Preachers – Archives of Pain Lyrics
| 22 years ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but recording technology didn't exist in 1888. One of 'Jack the Ripper's victims' indeed.
The song is pro-capital punishment. As Zed92uk said, it's a reaction against the glorification of serial killers: something the Manics, ironically enough, participated in when they wrote 'Patrick Bateman'. |

| Manic Street Preachers – A Design For Life Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
The above person is exactly the sort of NME reading tosser whom the Manics were originally out to offend. How regrettable that it's precisely this audience they now endeavour to appeal to.
'Design for Life' is, according to Nicky Wire, specically about the British working class. Incidentally, Nicky Wire wrote it, so I expect his 'interpretation' would be decidedly more accurate than some nobhead like Roger Wilco's. |
