"Manic Street Preachers singer James Dean Bradfield has been discussing the band&amp;#039;s new album. Postcards From A Young Man will be released on September 20.  The musician told XFM: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s pretty unbelievable, we&amp;#039;ve got Duff McKagan (ex-Guns N\u00E2\u20AC\u2122 Roses) on the record, which is truly awe-inspiring for me.  &amp;quot;We\u00E2\u20AC\u2122ve also got John Cale, ex-Velvet Underground member, playing on the album and we&amp;#039;ve got Ian McCulloch singing on a track. Some of our heroes are just on the record with us.&amp;quot; Bradfield has dubbed the record &amp;quot;one last shot at mass communication&amp;quot;. He added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s got a bit of a classic rock vibe about it, but it&amp;#039;s still got that shiny, rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll punk energy we&amp;#039;ve always had. We still write about the same things, we&amp;#039;re still energised by the same subjects that made us write songs back when we were 15, 16 years old.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
