Manic Street Preachers is a Welsh alternative rock band, formed in 1986 in Blackwood, UK and is consisting of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals, lead guitar), Nicky Wire (bass guitar, lyrics) and Sean Moore (drums). They are often colloquially known as “The Manics”, or simply, “Manics”.

Originally a quartet, the band became a trio when primary lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards disappeared on 1 February 1995. Their early combination of androgynous glam imagery and critical social lyrics about “culture, alienation, boredom and despair” gained them a loyal following and cult status. This is their twelfth full length studio album with the name “Futurology”. It comes with thirteen tracks. Catchy and melodic songs keep your full attention till the very end. This album has a big pop influence on each song and quite some of them definitely get stuck in your head. Some of the songs include a female vocalist.
