Journal for Plague Lovers is the ninth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, released in May 2009 by record label Columbia. Recorded between October 2008 and February 2009 and produced by Steve Albini and Dave Eringa, it features exclusively posthumously published lyrics by Richey Edwards, who disappeared on 1 February 1995 and was presumed deceased in 2008. It is the only Manic Street Preachers album in which the lyrics for every song were written solely by Edwards.

The British rock boom of the 90's I mentioned doesn't refer to Britpop alone, because there were many other bands, which benefitted from the success of Oasis and their peers. Manic Street Preachers, for instance, became quite huge during the later part of the period, when their sonic valleys felt quite close to the groups, which sold out stadiums. However, they kept their subversive streak, i.e. they may have been anthemic, yet they remained lyrically sharp. I mean, one of their greatest songs is this startling indictment of the way the working class are treated by the society, but I ask myself how many of those who shout the chorus on Manic's concerts know this? Then again, shouldn't that be seen as a fine disruption – playing a blazing pop tune about the class issues?

Apologies for the gap in posting, I’ve been away. I was lucky enough to be at the Q event though! The photos inside are mine, the middle one is me with James ♥♥♥
