Hidden within the dreamy new pop packaging though, as ever, is a pointed message from the pen of wordsmith Wire. Back in the day, the Manics weren't adverse to some wicked wordplay.

Edwards once said they would "always hate [shoegaze band] Slowdive more than Hitler". Bradfield feels that sort of tongue-in-cheek vitriol, which used to be "part of the dance" of being in band, has now gone out of music and moved into daily modern life, but in a far more "egregious" way.

One damaging effect of the culture wars , he adds, is that "people that should loosely be on the same side can't be on the same side". The veteran rocker thinks the "confusing" times also make it more difficult for young bands to write politically-charged anthems than it was when the "naturally angry" Manics formed in , fuelled by the very clear "storm outside our window" - a reference to the miners' strikes. When BBC News caught up with the band several years ago, they were Wire-less, with the bass player missing their Biggest Weekend headline set in Belfast due to his mother being terminally ill, and sadly now gone.

The spectre of death and the shadow of their missing bandmate Edwards hangs over this album on tracks like opener Snowing in Sapporo and closer Afterending, while Diapause is a reflection on our recently enforced hibernation.

You have to train yourself to play that music. It really is quite intense. Manics play 'Wireless' Biggest Weekend set.
