I Killed the Zeitgeist is the debut solo studio album by Manic Street Preachers bass guitarist and lyricist Nicky Wire.

In addition, a promotional album sampler had been sent out to the press and certain other people which included "I Killed the Zeitgeist", "Goodbye Suicide", "Sehnsucht" and "Everything Fades".

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described the album as "the sound of a slowly aging outsider who is reconnecting to his rebel roots.

And that's what's really appealing about I Killed the Zeitgeist: it's rough and unfinished, but it's utterly alive, with its misfires as interesting as its successes, which, naturally, makes it not only a strong solo debut but some of Wire's most compelling music in years.
