Don’t start the Manics legal team scrambling to compare them both! 😉😂

"Brushstrokes of Reunion" was a lyric James said he'd written. Is that another one for the album?

Sounding more and more like Critical Thinking and Onemanmilitia are angry bookends to the album too. Wonder if they are the 2 remaining Wire 'solo' tracks on the album.

My guess from that is Dear Stephen follows Decline&Fall and Brush Strokes of Reunion follows People Ruin Paintings. But then that's following logic! They might pull a "Ah! That's what we wanted you to think!". Paintings Brush Strokes.
It sounds too good to be true but we'll find out soon. This time next month we'll be at fever pitch over it! Can the server cope?

I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a tracklist announcement with it only a few weeks away. Guessing it'll come with the third single.

Then again... If Being Baptised is about Allen Toussaint then Dear Stephen makes a nice pair of musical tributes?
Of those titles "Out Of Time Revival" I'm most curious about. Obliviously want to hear the entire thing. But Out of Time Revival.
I could go insane speculating what the songs could be about.

I think the band are two busy rehearsing for that Japanese festival next month to put up the details.
This is a good thing because next January they are massively going to take charge of the media frenzy.
What I've noticed is last time R2 handled the vast bulk of media attention for TUVL.
This time 6Music is being implemented.
Wonder if because of the BBC history with the band ITV barely feature them. Unless in News stories.
But if it's quiet it's going to be the loudest when the process starts.
Merry Christmas all!

I think it's a combination of Sony's promotions & marketing people and the band's web managers that will be doing this sort of thing.

If ‘People Ruin Paintings’ is, as a friend suggested would make sense, a finger-wag at Just Stop Oil… I officially give up.

Its ok to still like the music and admit that someone behaved a twat or worse, separate the art from the artist, but making excuses to justify shit behaviour is just .....unsurprising, it's been done since Richey was acting the creep why would it stop now.
This though. I can’t believe people are shrugging at the frontman of the great political band not even bothering to vote. And the member who’s so proud of his politics degree throwing in some more excuses for that self-indulgent apathy. Looking back now… we slippery-sloped here, huh? There were signs for a long time. I just didn’t or wouldn’t see them for what they were. I still haven’t really accepted it. This band was my LIFE.

How do you separate art and artist when at this point, the art is mostly about the artists and their increasingly vapid views? They don’t seem to stand for anything but themselves anymore. Unless we mean past art, of course
