Send Away the Tigers, the Manic Street Preachers' eighth studio album, arrived on Columbia on 7 May 2007 and climbed to number two in the UK, and it's the sound of the Blackwood trio plugging back in and cranking everything up. The title borrows Tony Hancock's phrase for drowning your inner demons in drink. Greg Haver and Dave Eringa produced, Chris Lord-Alge mixed, and the band pitched it as a cross between Generation Terrorists and Everything Must Go; critics heard hard rock, and some heard glam.
James Dean Bradfield's guitar is back at full roar, with his cousin Sean Moore on drums and Nicky Wire on bass, a three-piece since 1995. Nina Persson of the Cardigans shares the vocals on "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough", yet another UK Top 10 single, "I'm Just a Patsy" takes its words from Lee Harvey Oswald's denial, and the sleeve quotes Wyndham Lewis, the band's bookish streak fully intact.
