    The Holy Bible
    Gold Against The Soul

    Those are my 2 faves...I just spend this last weekend making 4 compilation cd's of their b-sides...fantastic band.

    The new one, "Send Away the Tigers," is awesome.

    "This is My Truth Tell Me Yours," and "Lifeblood" are also awesome.

    So are all the others. Can't go wrong, really. I'd actually recommend picking up the Greatest Hits package called "Forever Delayed" if you can't decide. Then use what "era" samples as a jumping-off point.

    Some people will tell you that everything the band has put out after Richey Edwards disappeared "sucks". Pay them no heed.

    I agree...some of their best songs are on "This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours" and "Know Your Enemy"

    The new record is great as well.

    which album has "A Design For Life" on it, and I am hoping that is the title of the song

    I only know this from watching all those European festival highlights in the 1990s, whenever this band came on, this is the song that was played, and I came to liking it

    That song is on the album "Everything Must Go"

    If you ever get a chance to see the Manics live, even if you've never heard any of their songs, make sure you go along. I was very surprised the first time I saw them. Absolutely superb live act, and I like their recordings a lot more having experienced the live show.
