345/365 # Journal For Plague Lovers

You need to squint at this otherwise it looks really fake. I made a lot of mistakes with this shot. If you look at it out of the corner of your eye it's alright. Or stare directly at the CD cover in the middle, that works for me.

 

Yes, so . . . the Manic Street Preachers are releasing their new album Journal For Plague Lovers on Monday. Got my copy today, in a posh book-style case. The big deal is that the lyrics were written by Richey Edwards who went missing in 1995. He left a folder full of lyrics behind and the rest of the band have decided the time's right to put music to them.

 

Comparisons have been made between this album and their best album The Holy Bible - yep, the one I keep going on about. There's really no comparison, the link is purely because of Richey's lyrics being present. But it is still really cool.

 

Strobist info: SB600 to camera left at 1/2 power bounced off the corner of the room.

 

Looks a bit better bigger
