So many people seemed upset when the Manic Street Preachers finally softened and went sugary and stadium-rock, you'd think it was some sort of surprise. But--ironically, for a Manics album--Know Your Enemy should keep everyone happy. It's as big and lush as their recent records, catchy and stirring, but more musically imaginative than anything since the mangled metal of The Holy Bible. Nicky Wire's lyrical pretensions can niggle (he even takes a slurring, atonal lead vocal on the predictably antagonistic "Wattsville Blues", which sounds like the prepubescent Jesus & Mary Chain till James Dean Bradfield's guitar and harmonies bring a shaft of light), but complaining about being irritated by Nicky Wire is like moaning that your cat won't fetch a stick. For the most part, against this fresh, textured pop, his words--alternately nihilistic and impassioned, self-pitying and perverse--come alive again. The real joy is not just that the Manics now want to spice their chromium rock with raspberry-blowing synths, lush and sunny orchestration, and (on "Miss Europa Disco Dancer") Bee Gees rhythms and electro-funk. It's that they're finally confident and accomplished enough to do it well, and with more verve than they've mustered for half a decade. --Taylor Parkes

2.Ocean Spray はジェイムスが作詞を手がけた曲、1stからのマニックス・リスナーとしてこの曲はベスト5に入る傑作。詞はジェイムスのお母さんが亡くなった事が触れられた曲なので深い悲しみに満ちているが、凄く良い曲。大好きです。3.Intravenous Agnostic と6.The Year Of Purification の疾走感はたまらない、カッコ良い!!!
7.Wattsville Blues はニッキーが作曲&リードヴォーカル。
15.Baby Elianはかのエリアン少年についての曲・・・と4枚目から聴かなくなってなっていた人にも聴いて貰いたいです。
*日本盤には、ミレニアム・凱旋ライブが音源のボーナストラック「the masses against the classes」が入っています。
ファンの人はどう思うか知らないけど、私にとっては辛い一枚でした・・・

The first issue that this remixed re-issue of Know Your Enemy corrects is that it is now split into two separate albums as originally intended. When there were two lead singles released in the same week back in March 2001 showing the two musical styles, in retrospect as a fan you can see how this two records concept was the original intention. In this re-issue the first CD Door to the River tends to unite the quieter, more acoustic tracks - but sometimes with louder sections - together and this makes it so much more focused and allows the songs to shine. The R.E.M.-like jangle rock of both opener The Year of Purification and the beautifully sad His Last Painting (could it be about Richey?) are so much more impressive and at home now. The tragic Ocean Spray and the KYE B-sides Just a Kid and Groundhog Days - which are so strong that they are rightly on the main first album - have a mixture of acoustic and in parts the powerful electric guitar rock of 1996's Everything Must Go in them. Meanwhile, the delicate Door to the River and the quietly anthemic Let Robeson Sing and Epicentre (which closes the first album triumphantly) are very acoustic and like the stronger material on their 1998 record This is My Truth Tell Me Yours. While the original release of the Door to the River song on the 2002 Forever Delayed Greatest Hits collection was always great anyway - with its shimmering electronics/strings - this more stripped back version is exceptional too and absolutely beautiful. Royal Correspondent is now jettisoned from the main ten songs of Door to the River - though still included as track 14 - which is probably fair because while good it is not as essential as the others. The Beach Boys-sounding original mix of So Why So Sad is correctly likewise dropped too (though still included as a decent additional track) in favour of the more groovy, melodic and gorgeously atmospheric Avalanches mix. As the music of Door to the River now tends to focus more on a single style the songs really reach their true potential, and it feels like a newly discovered Manics record that adds to their back catalogue of excellence.
Before trying out the rockier Solidarity second album I was initially sceptical that it could be as massively successful as the re-structure and re-mix that Door to the River was but pleasingly it is pretty much as excellent too. In 2001, the louder songs sounded like a cliched poor man's attempt by the Manics at re-creating the punkier rock of their Richey James-era and merely an arguably unfair hit back - hence the KYE title - at the more tranquil, commercialised rock of previous album This is My Truth Tell Me Yours. But now remixed Intravenous Agnostic, Found That Soul and Dead Martyrs rock harder and more convincingly and sound like Generation Terrorists grown up with the Manics being then in their thirties when the original KYE was released. To clarify, it does not really sound like the youthful exuberant rock of that Manics' 1992 debut but has some of the punky style of it but older and more matured. Delightfully, the first single by the Manics of the new Millennium - which also reached number 1 on the charts - the similarly heavy and Richey-recalling Masses Against the Classes now finds a home on Solidarity which adds to its strength. Despite the tidier re-mix, pleasingly - like with Let Robeson Sing on the first disc - the electronic effects have been retained on the catchy and powerful Freedom of Speech Won't Feed My Children while Baby Elian captures the dance-like, propelling rhythms of New Order. The Convalescent is much more impressive now and revives the surging indie-rock of Everything Must Go too while My Guernica is similarly more intriguing too capturing the glam rock of R.E.M.'s mid-90s period a bit.
Of the two newly released songs, Rosebud is included on Door to the River and tends to rock slightly more than the rest of the first disc songs like some of the louder efforts on This Is My Truth... but with some elegant keyboard playing too. It complements the other tracks well while Studies in Paralysis is included on Solidarity and is really strong too and rocks out with some quite heavy riffing, sounding a bit like 1993 Manics.
Of the other tracks, Wattsville Blues and Miss Europa Disco Dancer are now demoted from both the main ten tracks of the two "new" albums. The former is still throwaway but is slightly entertaining in its silliness too while the latter (while still a misfit) is worthwhile as an additional effort because it sparkles with its recreation of 70s disco funk. Fear of Motion, Pedestal, Masking Tape are strong too, but the best of the B-sides must be the thrilling Locust Valley and the super-energised The Ballad of the Bangkok Novotel.
Until this re-release of the Know Your Enemy-era, the original version and Lifeblood - and for me Futurology too - were the least strong albums of their lengthy and legendary Welsh rock career. 2001's KYE was too overwhelming in the way it sprawled all over the place but now with a cleaner re-mix which is at the same time more interesting and layered it feels more finished and polished while dividing it up into two different albums - one softer and one louder - is a masterstroke finally making it cohesive. Some re-mixed music is not too much different - though to be fair that tends to be originally perfect anyway - but this might be best example of how to revise an original record as it is like gaining two excellent Manics' albums from an era in which they appeared to not be at their artistic peak back in 2001. I honestly feel these two "new" records - Door to the River and Solidarity - are up there now with some of their best material and are an enthralling listen. With there being so many great tracks now that the true potential has been derived from them, the Millennium Manics-era can be retrospectively viewed as one of their most creative periods.
