Description:

Manic Street Preachers' historic album "Know Your Enemy", which marked the beginning of the 21st century, has been re-released in its true form, as originally intended! Manic Street Preachers" is one of the most famous rock bands in the UK. Their latest album, "The Ultra Vivid Lament," released last year, debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was launched in February 2001 with a performance in front of then Cuban leader Castro at the Teatro Carl Marx in Havana, Cuba, and reached No. 2 on the UK album chart the following week. Single cuts from the album, "So What Sad," "Found That Soul," "Ocean Spray," and "Let Lovers Sing," all reached the Top 20 on the UK Singles Chart.The masterpiece that marked the dawn of the 21st century was conceived at the time of its creation as a 2-album set of two distinct works, but was eventually released as a single album. Now, 21 years after the release of "Know Your Enemy," the band members have decided to release "Know Your Enemy" in the form they had originally hoped, by presenting "Door to the River," a collection of harmonious and introspective songs, and "Solidarity," a more experimental version of the hard rock-tinged "Solidarity" from their original roots. The album has been reborn in its true form in the way the members had originally hoped. The album will be released in three formats: limited edition (3CD), standard edition (2CD), and standard edition (2LP). The limited edition is a 3-CD set that includes a CD of unreleased demo material, and comes with a special tall-size booklet. All three formats will also feature photographs by longtime collaborator Mitch Ikeda.
