Nevermind Intimism gone global, Engage With Your Shadow go global. This time he's had singing practice.

I'm also looking forward to it, sounds great.

Yeah, hard to know until it's out but if I had to bet between a Patrick Bateman type offensive lyric ,or a slightly more frustrated Concrete Fields esque moan about the modern world, then I know which way I'm leaning.

Both these tracks have really grown on me.
Absolutely excited for this album!

Despite popping in a link to one scumbag parodying another that's not what was asked. I hate to point this out to you but each of the negative traits that I listed in my question is very real and despite what people's memories might tell them Dfens was not an anti-hero in that movie.

As is slowly revealed as you watch he was a domestic abuser getting increasingly agitated that he was being blocked from terrorising his family.

I also really like the new tracks. I think the album will be more interesting having both James and Nicky's songs that he wrote.

Japanese versions now available for pre order. The two edition mentions a remix of Decline and Fall. Not sure if that exclusive for the 2 disc or on the standard as well.

Just looking at the picture disc vinyl on Amazon, does anyone know is that how it comes? Just in a plastic sleeve, not even an outer sleeve with the artwork and track listing? If so I'll not bother getting it.

[Son of Stopped]

Good news!
Pre-ordered the shirt, double CD, signed art print and cassette.
AARGH News!
I used my credit card rather than the bank one. Should be ok. Next year is the year I seriously make Rachel Reeves blush by getting my card under control.

Still, cassettes! I'm going to have to spend weeks cleaning my tape deck.
Hopes: The tape either goes dubbadubbadubba at the start or ending of the tape. And if you play it loud enough you get an echo of the song before it starts.

Any other offers pop up between now and end of January? Not interested! Done my bit.

[The Gutless Wonder]

Hopefully I can scrape together some pennies to buy the new album in some sort of physical form! Should have put aside a music fund when I was still in proper work! (I haven't been on FD for ages, oh dear!)

no, I don't use twitter (nor Instagram, Tik Tok, Blue Sky etc.) so I'm afraid that I'm probably not cool enough to understand what you're trying to get at .

Would you like to explain beyond what seems like a passive-agressive question/comment?

[Son of Stopped]

So yeah, anytime you're ready with the next single, folks.

With the mentions the title track is getting, would they dare to release Nicky’s “rant” as the next single? 🤞🏻

To be honest, I'm hoping that track gets released in January before the album next year.
Because if Oasis are going to bring back RAWK (Man/Woman/Chainsaw with their guitar and electric violin line up just look on awkwardly) then at least Critical Thinking would be added to the compilations that will no doubt pop up before Christmas 25.

Even though those compilations will have 90's tracks and nothing from now on them.
