Episode 13 Resistance is Futile - Memory against Oblivion

from Mondo Street Cinema Club · host Mondo Street Podcast Network

This week on You Love Us, Phil and co-host Darren explore Resistance Is Futile, the thirteenth studio album from Manic Street Preachers.Released in 2018, Resistance Is Futile saw the band embrace melody, memory and romance while still keeping one eye firmly fixed on politics, history and loss. We discuss how the album balances widescreen pop moments with reflections on art, photography, fame and the increasingly fractured modern world.From the anthemic rush of “International Blue” and “Distant Colours” to the emotional weight of “Hold Me Like a Heaven” and “Liverpool Revisited”, Phil and Darren examine the album’s themes, standout lyrics, critical reception and where it sits within the Manics’ remarkable catalogue.Along the way there’s plenty of debate, deep-cut trivia, and the usual attempts to answer the impossible question: why do the Manics keep making albums that sound completely different while still sounding unmistakably like themselves?Follow us on Instagram: @youloveuspodcast#ManicStreetPreachers #MSP #ResistanceIsFutile #YouLoveUsPodcast #WelshMusic #AlternativeRock #Britrock #MusicPodcast #Podcast #NickyWire #JamesDeanBradfield #SeanMoore #InternationalBlue #HoldMeLikeAHeaven #LiverpoolRevisited #AlbumDeepDive #MusicHistory #ManicsFans
