Send Away the Tigers

Send Away the Tigers is the eighth studio album from the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 7 May 2007 and made it to #2 on the UK Albums Chart, missing the top spot by just 690 copies. The album is named after a phrase the English comedian Tony Hancock used to refer to "battling one's inner demons by getting drunk". The album is widely seen as a return to the hard-edged, more guitar-driven sound of their earlier releases: the band itself has described it as a mixture of Generation Terrorists and Everything Must Go. Nina Persson from The Cardigans shares vocals on "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough", the first single from the album.
