4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but of course buy, August 17, 2000

The manics plunge into the millenium with a new single 'that has nothing to do with the new album' says bassist Nicky Wire. The first thing that comes to mind when listening to the title song "The Masses Againsit The Classes" is early "Motown Junk" era manics. The track works but I felt it was a little forced and could've been a whole lot better. "Close My Eyes" is the typical whiney rock star song. I find a bit of the lyrics offensive to the fan but the music is great on the song. Finally we reach what is worth buying the single for, The Manics cover of Chuck Berry's "Rock 'N' Roll Music". James does an exellent job at translating the song musically for a new era and attitude. Overall we get a feeling of the roots of The Manics and some ponder into the future of The Manics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, punky classic of a single, one of their best, August 20, 2002

I liked This Is My Truth, but this was what we were really longing for. What a classic single! A fantastic return to punk for the Manics with autobiographical lyrics that Nicky Wire put all his soul into, screaming vocals from James Dean Bradfield and even quotes at the beginning and end. The choppy, thrashing guitar and drums make a track that is one of the Manics' very best ever, no mean feat. Fantastic stuff.
