the snippet I heard of "weird people" sounded promising. feel doubtful that this new album will top salute but still looking forward to it

New album nowhere near as good as Salute but still a handful of very good songs on there.
OMG is great

I'm finding it really hard to love this band. After Salute I really thought they were on the verge of being the amazing group I always wanted them to be. After playing it so safe on Get Weird I was hoping they'd come back with something better than Shout Out To My Ex. The verses just aren't really there and the chorus is a blatant rip off of Ugly Heart. Very disappointing. https://youtu.be/mJSHMRZSPdQ

i get an "accelerated 'Shake it Out'" impression from the chorus also

Jesy's departure and reason for it is hardly a surprise, but the fact that she's basically been cyberbullied out of the band is a damning indictment on the state of the world in 2020

she's been relentlessly harassed online her entire career, idk if something particular was the final straw for her though

I haven't seen anything about a specific incident or anything, but it's been nearly a decade since they won X Factor and even then she was not just being relentlessly trolled, but it was substantial enough that it became part of the band's narrative and brand. That's a lot for anyone.
Can you imagine a girl group having success from 1991 to 2000 the way they've stayed consistent over their decade?
