Generation Terrorists

Released

Released in a variety of versions and accompanied by a wave of autohype created by the band as much as any label employees, Generation Terrorists was aiming to be a glam punk Welcome to the Pleasuredome for the 1990s, a double album of aesthetic statements and massive hits. It’s a great snapshot of the Manics’s big scale ambitions at the least, and if it wasn’t quite the Guns’n’Roses/Public Enemy fusion of their dreams, singles like “You Love Us,” “Stay Beautiful,” “Repeat” and the warped power ballad “Motorcycle Emptiness” are great sing/shoutalongs.
