An album conceived as a final resting place for Richey Edwards’ lyrics, this 2009 release saw the Manics grappling with their own history and the ghost of their most enigmatic former member.
- The album was recorded in fewer than three weeks at the same studio where the band recorded "Everything Must Go."
- Guitarist James Dean Bradfield stated that the sessions were "so cathartic it was almost uncomfortable."
- Upon release, the album reached number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.
