    can we make it so when people write Melon it becomes Grimace?

    although that might derail any discussions about fruit...

    I thought he was becoming closer to good now as far as who he associates with. Oh well no need to discuss him tho

    Who is he and what moronic thing did he do to make everyone hate him?

    A few things. Some people just don’t agree with his reviews and don’t like his style of reviewing, which is fine.

    A main one for a lot of people on here is his “enlightened centrist” political approach he often took until fairly recently. He used to be a lot like Joe Rogan in that he played both sides and seemed to think that that somehow made him more objective. Things like racism (which is rly odd considering he’s married to a black woman), police brutality, misogyny in the music industry, etc that he’s now much more firm in his stances on if only because by now I’m sure he’s seen the damage being a fence rider can do.

    Jumping off from that are his alleged ties to the alt right. Mostly having certain people with tangible ties to the alt right on his channel and doing the Joe Rogan thing of letting them talk and not rly challenging them too much. He also had a shitposty alternate channel that came under fire for having a picture of a black man hanging himself in a video but this was just a picture from that weird fad where people would take toilet paper rolls and make them look like a noose.

    Maybe I missed some things but that’s kinda the gist

    Still amazed at how different People is to their back catalogue as The 1975. People just finished playing and Ugh started up, into She Way Out.

    It’s ridiculously exciting to think we have 20 or so songs that we’ve still yet to hear. I’m hoping it’s not overly padded out with instrumentals ala ILYWS. I’m seriously hyped for what could come next from them, but I’m also very frustrated at myself and the horribly impatient way I consume music and become bored of it.

    February is v far away. The only other release I’m aware of and excited for currently is Microwave’s next month. Got yet another case of having ‘no music’ to listen to that I’ve not relentlessly overplayed. Including People, embarrassingly enough.

    I personally feel he uses a lot of big words and phrases to describe the music he’s reviewing and more often than not, he’s wrong. He likes to shit on hyped albums when he knows it’ll just lead to more views.

    He gave MBDTF a 6 and Ye a 9. That tells you everything you need to know about him.

    his fans care more about the number he assigns albums more than the albums themselves and it bothers me

    Does anyone have scans of the Q Magazine article with them from the issue that came out today that they can post? Would love to give it a read!

    I’ve been able to hold out on listening to People because I’m waiting for the album to come out to listen to any tracks. Just one question, though, cause I like reading reactions to things- is it catchy? Like is the hook there? I have read the comparisons to Vampire Money and i fucking love that song.

    I would absolutely say so - it’s a real ear worm once the shock of it subsides. A lot of my friends (who don’t explicitly listen to them) love it

    It's one of their less catchy lead singles but the bar is high. It's more dancey than catchy if that makes sense

    I’ve been playing The 1975 a lot lately and my mom got in the car while I had the bands entire catalog on shuffle and “People” “The Sound” “Its Not Living If It’s Not A it’s You” “Head.cars.bending” and “She’s American” came on back to back and I got to watch in real time my mom go through the stages of “Is this the same band?” and when I told her it was the same band that made “Chocolate” she just lost it and now she’s trying to download them onto her kindle I love her so much

    That’s a near perfect sequence, just switch She’s American with IIBY or CBMIL
