I might start providing a public service by C&Ping these comments without the names attached into the relevant thread, if I can guess it.

i view comedy socking as more of a caper or plot-driven thing, whereas some take more of a "world-building approach" which I can respect, but is not my style

Worst sock ever, sorry that is just how I feel

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
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:22 (five years ago) link
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.
