Everything Must Go  by Manic Street Preachers

Everything Must Go is the fourth studio album by the Welsh band Manic Street Preachers and was released in May 1996 amidst the whirl of britpop. It quickly became one of the albums that stood out in its year, and ultimately in the entire career of the band, which was now recording for the first time as a trio due to the unexplained and unsolved disappearance of guitarist Richey Edwards the previous year.

Five singles emerged from the album, with the first being A Design For Life a month before the official release of the record, and the last being Australia in December 1996. These, along with the production of the record by the experienced producer Mike Hedges, led Everything Must Go to sales of about 2,000,000 on an international level. In the United Kingdom, the album went triple platinum.

Everything Must Go and its success is the album that every band seeks to showcase and prove its worth, and to firmly establish itself to continue its upward artistic trajectory.
