''Forever Delayed'' is a greatest hits album and DVD by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, released in 2002 by record label Epic. The album included three singles which had never appeared on earlier albums ("Motown Junk", "Suicide Is Painless" and the No. 1 hit "The Masses Against the Classes"), as well as two new songs, the single "There by the Grace of God" and "Door to the River". The album peaked and debuted on the UK Album Chart at number 4. == Content == The album featured two new songs: the single "There by the Grace of God" and "Door to the River". "Door to the River" was originally recorded in the sessions for the ''Know Your Enemy'' album, but the band deemed the song too unfitting to the album's general style. "There by the Grace of God" could be seen as a foreshadowing of what followed the hits compilation, as it features a more electronic/keyboard-heavy style that would eventually be the main style of the band's next studio album, ''Lifeblood''. Several songs were edited for length ("Motorcycle Emptiness", "You Love Us", "Australia", "Everything Must Go", "Little Baby Nothing" and "The Everlasting") so that more tracks could fit onto the CD (though not listed as edits in the liner notes). The title of ''Forever Delayed'' is lifted from the lyrics of their song "Roses in the Hospital" (which does not feature on the CD album). A song called "4 Ever Delayed" was recorded for inclusion but ended up not being included. Plans of releasing it as part of a new two-disc edition of the compilation and as CD single were then toyed with but never surfaced. It eventually wound up on the band's following B-sides and rarities compilation ''Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers)'' in 2003. The title of the greatest hits package had also been planned for several years previous; Nicky Wire first mentioned it in Simon Price's biography ''Everything – A Book About Manic Street Preachers'', published in 1998. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forever Delayed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
