'''''Forever Delayed''''' is a [[greatest hits album]] and DVD by [[Wales|Welsh]] [[alternative rock]] band [[Manic Street Preachers]], released on 28 October 2002 by [[Epic Records]]. The album included three singles which had never appeared on any of the band's earlier albums ("[[Motown Junk]]", "[[Suicide Is Painless]]" and the number one hit "[[The Masses Against the Classes]]"), as well as two new songs, the single "[[There by the Grace of God]]" and "Door to the River".

The album peaked and debuted on the [[UK Albums Chart]] at number 4.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/20021103/7502/ |title=Official album charts archive for 9th&nbsp;November 2002|website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]] |access-date=7 December 2010}}</ref>

== Content ==

The album featured two new songs: the single "[[There by the Grace of God]]" and "Door to the River". "Door to the River" was originally recorded in the sessions for the ''[[Know Your Enemy (Manic Street Preachers album)|Know Your Enemy]]'' album, but the band deemed the song too unfitting to the album's general style. "There by the Grace of God" could be seen as a foreshadowing of what followed the hits compilation, as it features a more electronic/keyboard-heavy style that would eventually be the main style of the band's next studio album, ''[[Lifeblood (album)|Lifeblood]]''.

Several songs were edited for length ("[[Motorcycle Emptiness]]", "[[La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)]]", "[[You Love Us]]", "[[Australia (Manic Street Preachers song)|Australia]]", "[[From Despair to Where]]", "[[Everything Must Go (song)|Everything Must Go]]", "[[Little Baby Nothing]]" and "[[The Everlasting (song)|The Everlasting]]") so that more tracks could fit onto the CD (though not listed as edits in the liner notes).

The title of ''Forever Delayed'' is lifted from the lyrics of their song "[[Roses in the Hospital]]" (which does not feature on the CD album). A song called "4 Ever Delayed" was recorded for inclusion but ended up not being included. Plans of releasing it as part of a new two-disc edition of the compilation and as CD single were then toyed with but never surfaced. It eventually wound up on the band's following [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]] and rarities compilation ''[[Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers)]]'' in 2003. The title of the greatest hits package had also been planned for several years previous; band member [[Nicky Wire]] first mentioned it in [[Simon Price]]'s biography ''Everything – A Book About Manic Street Preachers'', published in 1998.

== Release ==

The compilation album reached number 4 in the [[UK Albums Chart]], and spent a total of 19 weeks in the Top 100. To date it has gone [[RIAA certification|Double Platinum]] (600,000 copies) in the UK.<ref name="UK charts">{{cite web |url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/manic%20street%20preachers/ |title=Manic Street Preachers <nowiki>| Artist |</nowiki> Official Charts |website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]] |access-date=21 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615114536/http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/manic%20street%20preachers/ |archive-date=15 June 2011}}</ref> It reached number 7 in Ireland and in Finland, and it also charted within the Top 20 in Denmark. The album has sold more than one million copies since its release in 2002.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Power|first1=Martin|title=Manic Street Preachers|date=17 October 2010|publisher=Omnibus Press}}</ref>

The album was promoted by the introduction of new songs such as "Door to the River" and by the single "There by the Grace of God", which peaked and debuted at number 6 in the [[UK Singles Chart]].

The ''Forever Delayed'' DVD was released in 2002 together with the greatest hits CD and photo book that bear the same name, and features all the promo music videos from the start of the band's career released prior to the DVD. Along with the promo videos there is a selection of 14 remix videos, where the visual material is taken from clips of the other promo videos as well as backdrop visuals from the band's live concerts.

''Forever Delayed'' is the first of three compilation albums by the Manic Street Preachers, and it was not well received by ''[[NME]]'' that stated: "So here it is, The Album That Should Not Exist. To the slogan-smothered, soul-bruised, scarred-for-the-cause skunkpunk heroes of 1991 - the scary/beautiful freaks claiming they'll self-destruct after one six million-selling album - this greatest hits would be musical treachery."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews//6788|title=NME review|date=12 September 2005|work=NME.COM|access-date=11 November 2014}}</ref>

[[AllMusic]] rated the album with a 4 out of 5, saying: "Manic Street Preachers have always been a band of very specific charms, something that has not translated outside of the U.K. particularly well. Although it boasts a generous 20 tracks, the 2002 compilation Forever Delayed isn't likely to change that situation, even if it has the lion's share of their big singles, since a band devoted to sloganeering doesn't play outside of their province, or era, without some knowledge of their context."<ref>[{{AllMusic|class=album|id=forever-delayed-the-greatest-hits-r614789|tab=review|pure_url=yes}} AllMusic review]</ref>

Sputnikmusic made a track-by-track review, finishing with: "Overall I'd say this is a great introduction to the Manics, but it's nowhere near definitive. It's missing too many good songs (Slash N Burn especially), and it's far too biased towards This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/832/Manic-Street-Preachers-Forever-Delayed/|title=Sputnikmusic review|access-date=11 November 2014}}</ref>
