“Resistance Is Futile” is the Manic Street Preachers’ 13th studio album. Of their first new recordings in four years, the band said: “The main themes of “Resistance is Futile” are memory and loss, forgotten history, confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration. It’s obsessively melodic – in many ways referencing both the naive energy of “Generation Terrorists” and the orchestral sweep of “Everything Must Go”. Following the twin musical departures of 2013’s largely acoustic “Rewind The Film” and the glacial electronics of 2014’s “Futurology”, “Resistance Is Futile” heralds a return to a classic Manics sound described by the band as “widescreen melancholia”.
