Review - :
Debut albums rarely come as ambitious as {$the Manic Street Preachers}' {^Generation Terrorists}. Released in England as a double album (it was trimmed to the length of a single record in America), the album teemed with slogans, political rhetoric, and scarily inarticulate angst. Since {$the Manics} deliver these charged lyrics as heavy guitar-rockers, the music doesn't always hit quite as forcefully as intended. The relatively polished production and big guitar sound occasionally sell the music short, especially the lesser songs, yet {$the Manics}' passion is undeniable, even on the weaker cuts. While the album is loaded with a little bit too much unrealized material in retrospect, its best moments -- the fiery {&"Slash N' Burn,"} {&"Little Baby Nothing,"} the incendiary {&"Stay Beautiful,"} the sardonic {&"You Love Us,"} and the haunting {&"Motorcycle Emptiness"} -- capture {$the Manics} in all their raging glory. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
