Manic Street Preachers - Know Your Enemy Album Cover | |||||||||||||||
Know Your Enemy is an album by the Manic Street Preachers. It was released in March 2001 on Virgin Records. The album is arguably the band's most inconsistent in style, with its songs ranging from energetic lo-fi rock songs reminiscent of their earlier material to highly produced, more melodic pop songs as well as for example a disco song. The album also features Nicky Wire's debut as a lead vocalist in the song 'Wattsville Blues' and James Dean Bradfield's debut as a lyricist on 'Ocean Spray'.
The album derives its name from Sun Tzu's The Art of War Part III, 'Act Of Strategum', the English translation being "So it is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle".
