Another example of a song that just simply doesn't make sense in the middle of the album haha

Dan’s alternate tracklist is WAY better. I’d just put You In January between the final two songs.

That host also brought it up on another podcast a couple years ago [MEDIA] Visible Noise's owner, who initially signed the band and worked with them until the end, is the only other person from their camp who publicly talked about it [MEDIA]

Didn’t realise how tight Ireland’s group is outside of Portugal. A goal for them would be massive.

How has Kane scored so many goals and still not found a decent celebration!

What a fucking great record and I'm so glad it's got the mix it deserves. I always thought the band, especially Dan sounded absolutely exhausted on Palm Reader and it just sounded incredibly muddy and rushed which is reflected obviously in him saying they just wanted to get the album out and over with, but it sounds absolutely huge here. Think overall this is third for me behind TGG and Suburbia (for different reasons) but man their run since Upsides has been ridiculous.

Hum is fantastic, and is more consistent than this record, but the highs on here are absolutely stratospheric. I still don’t really care about Palm Reader much, and I find the title track boring. But everything else is very good to world-beating. I’d be interested to hear this with SC, as it’s the only record of theirs I’m lukewarm on. Some good stuff on it, but it just never really clicked as a whole.

The backing vocals have to be re-recorded. The ones on You In January in particular sound miles better now.

Didn’t realise the bassist from The 1975 played on this. That’s super cool.

Wow, Sweden are SO bad. They have Isak, Gyokeres, Elanga, Bergvall, Barghji, etc, yet they lost of Luxembourg and are losing to Kosovo. Unreal. They’re going to come bottom of a group containing Slovenia, Kosovo, and Switzerland with that team…

Cape Verde going to the World Cup, lads! Got out of a group containing traditional powerhouse Cameroon. Best player plays for Kocaelispor in Turkey, and he's called Ryan Mendes - not the guitarist from Yellowcard!

Fucking hell, this is such an improvement. I like the original album a fair bit, but this is unreal.

Finally checking this. Definitely my favourite of theirs since that run of F&WL, Old Souls, and ATCN. Feels like they're inspired again.

This is far better than I expected it to be, honestly. Crazy to get such great comeback records from MCS, TSL, and Yellowcard in quick succession. One of those albums where I basically added every song to my “currents” playlist as I was listening.

I was referring to the second one, but that one with Geoff sounds interesting for sure! I’m not a regular listener but I’ll have to check that one out.

I’d advise listening to the interview Stu did with the Sappening Podcast a few years back. As far as I know, it’s one of the only times one of them has publicly talked about it. The hosts aren’t for me, but one of them was in a band from Wales called The Blackout, who had Ian feature on their breakout single. Goes into how in the final five or so years of the band, Ian was distant, aggressive, secretive, travelling separately, etc. They even lived in separate countries, and got into physical fights a few times. Stu says he had a drug addiction which he refused help for too so they were going to break up. You can hear the hurt and anger for sure. So, I dunno. Maybe educate yourself before you go throwing this shit around based off one out of context joke.

Faroe Islands just beat Czechia. They’re now one point off a playoff place and on their record points total. It has a population of under 55,000.

It's seared into my brain that in about 2007/2008, Kerrang! magazine did an interview with him that at one point asked, "What do you get through more of in a month, girls or hair products?" I think he said "Lots of both" of something. I wonder if that journalist ever thinks about that. Anyway, a group of us went to our friend Kirsty's house after school one day and I remember her giving away the Ian Watkins poster inside, saying she couldn't stand him and felt like there was something off about him. Crazy how right she was, and probably shows how blind people were to the blatant sexism and "lad culture" of the time that allowed predators like Ian to hide in plain sight. Hopefully his victims have found peace.

In Newcastle for the weekend and ended up in the St James’ Park fanzone last night for a bit. I don’t recommend unless you LOVE over priced IPAs and a weird mix of young students and finance bros. But, I tried to get a photo of St James Park. Turns out, drunk me can’t use a camera for shit lol
