Despite the "complete singles" title, National Treasures does not contain every Manic Street Preachers single. Notable omissions are the band's very first single, " Suicide Alley" (1989), "Strip It Down" from the New Art Riot EP (1990), for which the band's first promotional video was made, [80] and " You Love Us (Heavenly Version)" (1991). For singles originally released as double-A sides, only one song is included: therefore from " Love's Sweet Exile/Repeat" (1992) and " Faster/P.C.P." (1994), only the first of each pair are included.

And the talking heads on those dumb I ❤️The 90s shows probably won’t remember them as the most important reference point of the 90s. But that’s their loss, because the Manics were a unique collision of cultural, musical and political forces that made them one of the most fiercely intelligent, musically informed and thrilling bands of the decade. I was like, 'Aw c'mon, we're from Wales'," says Bradfield. '"We come from working-class environments – our physicality has got to be represented.'" Edwards assumed responsibility for the cover; among ideas he had were using Andres Serrano's Piss Christ, [21] a Jesus figure inside a container of urine; [22] the Bert Stern Marilyn Monroe photographs; a sandpaper sleeve that would scratch the album itself as well as anything else that it was shelved by (similar to Mémoires by Asger Jorn and Guy Debord); [23] as well as several other famous religious paintings; but these suggestions were either declined or found too expensive.

St Luce noted their “utter self-belief” but also found them “shy, well-mannered gentleman. I liked it that people would go ‘Oh, God we’ve got the Manics coming here… they’re going to trash the place.’ But they made their beds at hotels and things like that.” Yet there were undoubtedly dark undercurrents brewing. In a later interview, when the band were collectively asked what they had learned from making a solo album, Sean Moore dryly quipped "Not to do one". [62] In May 2013, the band announced an Australasian tour for June and July, that would see them play their first-ever show in New Zealand.

"I had a tiny bit of a complex about it at the start – but only if there was something in a lyric and I had to ask what it was.

They didn't realise it at this point, but they had an ace up their sleeves: a song so epic, elegiac and graceful that it would silence the doubters and make even the faithful do a double-take. That the seeds of Motorcycle Emptiness lay in two separate and unremarkable songs, one a sub-Talulah Gosh slice of twee pop called Go Buzz Baby Go, is like discovering that Kashmir was written by John Otway.
