I think I'll wait until release day to hear this in full as the band intended it like I assume the proper fans will. I haven't heard any of the already released songs from it so I'll be coming to the whole thing fresh. Looking forward to it, although setting my expectations as low as possible - I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

But it’s quite obvious it’s about me, because there’s been a real reluctance for me to talk about it.
This is absolutely priceless. I take it that the guitarist used to be in Evil Gazebo too?

just post in the 1975 thread about how much you hate heroin addicts you dumbass

certainly you're not using this thread as intended if you're directly quoting a fucking article
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:25 (five years ago) link
When the lead singer of a band makes a point of talking about something, and that becomes the angle (a boring one, might I add) used for promoting their forthcoming record, it is most certainly amusing when they suddenly say they're reluctant to talk about it. And yes, it does bring to mind the character in the Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Used to Be in Evil Gazebo' - read the lyrics and I'm sure you'll see it for yourself.
Now, there's a reason I'm posting these things in the "second thoughts" thread instead of The 1975 thread, which you seem unable to grasp, but primarily because I do not want the thread to be derailed because I know you can't help yourself. Given your above response, I daresay I have a point.

the London with 3m immigrants from around the world? the London with predominately Labour control, enthusiastic support for JC and McD and some of the most leftwing voters in the country? that London? Because assuming you're not an idiot you must mean "Westminster". But that doesn't apply to the rest of us.

what we hate most abt these so-called 'londoners' is their characteristic blend of bellicose hubris, myopic narcissism, strained humourlessness and chippy provincial bad manners
― ogmor, Friday, 7 December 2018 12:44 (five years ago) link
some of us are actual londoners, and not 'so-called londoners', whoever the fuck that is. we live and work here, and exist in the most multi-culturally diverse environment the world has ever seen, a massive population of such. your problems with -so-called londoners' seems rather provincial in that light

I don't have civic pride as such, but I do think it's a little odd to have a problem with the most multi-cultural city on Earth. Kind of, er provincial, almost.
