Looking back on the twentieth anniversary of the Manic Street Preachers' debut album, Emily Mackay celebrates its 'uncomfortable mix of braggadocio, melancholy, anger and ludicrousness' Two decades on, and Generation Terrorists still doesn't make any more sense.
The Manic Street Preachers will release a 20th Anniversary edition of their debut Generation Terrorists on 5 November.
