I actually really like the falsetto/head voice in the chorus. It's something a bit different from him.

Could say "effing".

3 years between albums is a bit shorter than I expected, especially as there were 6 years between Wonderland and This Life.

You don't even know what he's standing for.

The right also argue less amongst themselves. They can just decide to target one ethnicity or whatever and they'll all follow. Whereas we tend to argue amongst ourselves over everything. They need to sort that out.

We have totals of all of his other albums: 4,447,642 - Divide 4,011,165 - Multiply 2,817,817 - Plus 1,216,343 - Equals 1,097,605 - No. 6 Collaborations Project 412,082 - Mathematics Tour Collection 217,381 - Subtract 101,591 - Loose Change (EP) 71,781 - Autumn Variations 67,461 - No. 5 Collaborations Project Albums particularly since the turn of the decade have been less prone to selling huge amounts anyway, but his first three were so huge I don't think it matters for him.

Only slightly down on what Subtract opened with in May 2023 (76,263). A slightly higher number of downloads though, for all it's worth (7,792).

Yeah, in some respects it feels like an open goal but no one's taking it.

They are indeed doing the tour again. No complaints from me, I never got to see it the first time round.

It's a shame really. This could have worked but I just had a feeling the infighting would be a problem. Plus the single issue matter. Forgive my ignorance but as awful as the events in the Middle East are, what can a political party here do?

Either they're doing a re-release of The Circus tour on vinyl or whatever, or they're taking that exact show on tour again.

Its just come to me - End of the Road by Boyz II Men.

I mean, given that the money for artists is mainly in touring now, I say it's fair game.

Also I can't stand it when they go "he says what we're all thinking" or "he says what everyone's too afraid to say". I'm just like, go on. Say it. If you're so proud, why not?

I'm always suspicious of those who appear to be extremely passionate about immigration, because they seem like the kind of people who don't really like anyone. Even if they happened to be satisfied with whatever was done about that, they'd move on to something else. I thought the riots last year and the subsequent arrests made for violent behaviour would have set an example but clearly they need to go in heavier. Who are they even aiming their protests at?

Reddit is full of people saying as much. "The more the left do x, the more they drive people to the far right" etc.

No idea why he's so revered. If he wasn't white, his supporters wouldn't be so quick to look past his criminal activity.

I saw a clip the other day of people at one of these protests singing and dancing along to Queen. Queen who of course featured Freddie Mercury, who was a refugee by definition.

What a surprise.

Even though it sounds familiar melodically, I do really like The Vow as well.

I think social media plays a big part. Not all of it, but a large part because of how easy it can be to spread this stuff. It wasn't quite so easy 20 years ago.

Pretty sure what's happening in London today is only for the purpose of being racist, I don't believe they're doing it for good intentions.

How is "making the streets safer for women & girls" working out? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/alleged-rape-sikh-woman-west-midlands-hate-crime Detectives are hunting for two white male suspects alleged to have racially abused the woman during the assault in broad daylight.

Maybe being autistic plays a part in it - for me anyway. There's a lot of "mainstream" things I've liked over the years that would not be deemed cool. I've never been particularly bothered, even while having the odd comment at school about me being a One Direction fan. I suppose the older you get, the less you care about that sort of thing.

In my defence, I didn't say that. I said that the ones I've surrounded myself with do not. But then I'm also from an ethnic minority background so music (certainly Western pop) is not really something people from my background tend to engage in.
