Manic Street Preachers: 'There's only one record left to make'

Manic Street Preachers have admitted that they may only make one more record before the end of their career, and so they want it to be "the biggest fucking rock record ever."

Speaking to NME following the release of their 12th studio album Futurology, the band revealed that their future may not be filled with new albums following Futurology's success.

"I think we all know deep in ourselves that there is only one record left to make," bassist Nicky Wire said, "and that's the biggest fucking rock record ever. It's Zeppelin, it's the Pistols, it's Generation Terrorists, but bigger." 

He added: "That's a long way off. But I think we know that's what's left; to raise the scales to an enormous level."

The band also discussed politics during the interview, criticising Russell Brand for encouraging young people not to vote, and asserting that the rise of UKIP support stems from the failings of the coalition government.
