"As albums go, Gold Against the Soul might not be perfect or come to define the band in the same way as The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go, but it's stood the test of time, and this deluxe reissue invites the listener to revisit a great lost gem in Manic Street Preachers' exquisite back catalogue".

"Whatever the reason or reasons why Manic Street Preachers' Gold Against the Soul remains the least celebrated of the band's storied career, this shiny and very impressive rerelease is an opportunity to rehabilitate it in the minds of many".

"Louder Than War namesakes Manic Street Preachers release a fantastic remastering of their second album that was the transitioning before the amazing The Holy Bible ... The Manics are one of those bands who always come up with great B sides and they're all here as extras to beef this whole package up to 19 songs. It includes one of my favourite tracks the brilliant Patrick Bateman (B-side to La Tristessa Duressa). Probably the nearest they have got to metal and an ode to American Psycho. Charles Windsor is one there as is Donkeys and an attempt at The Mondays - Wrote For Luck, twisting apart that baggy anthem. This is all topped off with a live version of The Clash song What's My Name. CD2 features demos of all the tracks. It's a mix of House In The Woods (a regular haunt for recording) demos and Impact demos, giving you an early feel to the tracks and how they were born".
