Manic Street Preachers will be releasing their fifteenth studio album, Critical Thinking, on January 31, 2025. Band member Nicky Wire elaborated on the album in a general press statement, stating:
"This is a record of opposites colliding - of dialectics trying to find a path of resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with the cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James (Dean Bradfield) which look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs."
The band member continued:
"The music is energised and at times euphoric. Recording could sometimes be sporadic and isolated, at other times we played live in a band setting, again the opposites making sense with each other."
The band member continued:
"There are crises at the heart of these songs. They are microcosms of skepticism and suspicion, the drive to the internal seems inevitable - start with yourself, maybe the rest will follow."
Manic Street Preachers are best known for their fifth studio album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, which was released via Epic/Virgin. The album charted at the top spot on the UK album chart and gained a multi-platinum certification in the UK.
