70 Songs Of Hatred And Failure

70 Songs of Hatred and Failure is the working title of the eleventh studio album by the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. The title was announced by bassist Nicky Wire in an interview with NME.com in November 2010.^[1] The title is an allusion to the 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields.

According to Wire, the record will be very different from its predecessor Postcards from a Young Man. "The next album will be pure indulgence. There’s only so much melody stored in your body that you can physically get onto one record. It was just so utterly commercial and melodic."
