Everything Must Go, the album directly preceding this one in the Manic's canon, was the first album where batshit-crazy lyricist/rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards wasn't physically present. On This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, not even the remnants of Edwards' lyrics were left; instead, bassist Nicky Wire took over writing the lyrics and the band soldiered on. What came out was a sweeping album that embraced a new maturity that pointed the way for every subsequent Manics album.
Where You'd Know It From: "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" was the band's first #1 hit from their only #1 album. Thom Yorke reportedly sang portions of it in the middle of "Everything In It's Right Place" during the Kid A tour.
