Additional InformationPostcards is fun. Granted, it is serious-minded fun with ambition, but with Manic Street Preachers, you take fun whenever you can get it, and they’ve never sounded as ebullient as they do here.
Reviews"This is an unashamedly pop record and its chutzpah is staggering. Gospel choirs, soaring strings and choruses you could use as landmarks in a blizzard make for an astonishing listen.", "It's packed with soaring string arrangements, massive choruses, guitar pyrotechnics, guest spots, and a gospel choir that shows up on four tracks. It's big, colorful, and determined in a way this band has pretty much perfected.", Ranked #19 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010" -- "A confident return to the stadium triumphs of EVERYTHING MUST GO...", Ranked #14 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "The studio album had an unashamedly populist agenda: big choruses, guitar-hero solos.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Golden Platitudes,' which laments New Labour's failures, is delivered with great conviction.", 4 stars out of 5-- "The band remain human underneath the sturm and band and always make sure that, in among the fire and thunder, there are songs, and emotion and, as ever, extraordinary lyrics.", 4 stars out of 5 -- “There’s a sense of chaos that’s delightful, displaying a variety and playfulness lacking in -- but not necessarily to the detriment of -- earlier work.”
