''This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours'' is the fifth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 14 September 1998 by record label Epic. Like its 1996 predecessor ''Everything Must Go'', ''This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours'' was a commercial and critical success. The album sold 136,000 copies in its first week, going Gold within a week and became the band's first album to reach number one in the UK Albums Chart. It sold well in the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, and earned the band further nominations and accolades at the BRIT Awards in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1999 )〕 == Music and lyrics == The title is a quotation taken from a speech given by Aneurin Bevan, a Labour Party politician from Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hall of Fame )〕 Its working title was simply ''Manic Street Preachers''. The cover photograph was taken on Black Rock Sands near Porthmadog, Wales. It was the first Manics album to feature lyrics solely by Nicky Wire, while all the music was written by the habitual duo of James Dean Bradfield and cousin Sean Moore. ''This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours'' is a more straightforward and pop-oriented album than their previous efforts and shows the band experimenting with sound and production possibilities. Nevertheless, the album also features a broader typical rock instruments like the sitar, melodica, omnichords, and organ.〔 ''Clash'' magazine described the album's sound as "a glacial distillation of the anthemic rock that had served them so well two years previous." In an interview with Dave Eringa he admitted that: "James was piling on the pressure at the time. He's got this idea that I work best under pressure; it's about putting me under as much as he can all the time!". After recording "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next", he also said that the song went through a four-month gestation period. Eringa said that even in the week of release he was nervous: "You get midweek chart positions and sales figures all week, and it was my first chance of a possible Number One, which is such an exciting thing. Every day it was just getting worse and worse; I was becoming more and more psychotic. If it had been released the same week as a Nirvana record or an Oasis record, you'd just have to put your hands up and say 'c'est la vie' – but the horror of losing out to Steps would have been unbelievable!".〔 James Dean Bradfield has cited John Frusciante as the main influence for the intro riff of My Little Empire.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gslKjS155Q〕 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「This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
