Kerrang (28/02/04, p.15) - Essential Purchase - "...fiercely intelligent [and] unflinching...[the] Manic Street Preachers at their most essential."
NME (04/12/04, p.33) - "The Holy Bible is a sneering, hateful, merciless, intelligent, articulate,nasty, raging assault of scattershot soundbites."

Uncut (p.87) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Richey dominates lyrically, combining insectoid self-loathing and snarling self-respect with rare intellectual intensity."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.57) - Ranked #81 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[L]o-fi recording ethics, lyrics of terrifying self-evisceration, driven by savage skeletal meta-punk."
Mojo (Publisher) (2/02, p.84) - "...Their masterpiece..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "With the passing of time, THE HOLY BIBLE makes even more sense..."

Product note

Manic Street Preachers: James Dean Bradfield (vocals, guitar); Richey James (guitar); Nicky Wire (bass); Sean Moore (drums).
All songs written by Manic Street Preachers.
The tragic and unresolved disappearance of Richey Edwards looms larger than life every time this album is played. Just as they were being hailed as the potential "next big thing," the band was thrown into disarray, and as a result, this credible album was somewhat overlooked while the world searched for Richey. Now that the dust has settled and people have accepted his likely demise, this album can at last be appreciated. Even though the spoken introduction "Of Walking Abortion" is spookily prophetic, the understated quality of all the songs puts this album much closer to the gigantic EVERYTHING MUST GO than its success would indicate.
