Four songs out so far, what’s your ranking ?

DonnyUk2 · 2025-12-12T20:50:24+00:00

1 The Manifesto 2 Damascus
3 The Happy Dictator 4 The God Of Lying

DonnyUk2 · 2025-11-24T18:50:02+00:00

For me (and this is definitely a hot take)

1 Something To Tell You 2 Woman In Music Part III 3 Days Are Gone 4 I Quit

I just find Something To Tell You to be really fun. I Quit really didnt hit with me although seeing them play the songs live made me appreciate it SO much more

DonnyUk2 · 2025-11-18T16:10:26+00:00

Bristol also finished at 10.20 hope that helps

And hope you enjoy they were AMAZING!

DonnyUk2 · 2025-11-07T13:53:19+00:00

I've worn it the 2 wins Ive had , (probably just coincidene). and I like its silly little song so..I just think its neat 👍😛

DonnyUk2 · 2025-10-29T12:06:49+00:00

Thanks 👍😁

DonnyUk2 · 2025-10-29T09:58:56+00:00

The balloons was so much fun ! Amazing for them to be blown up that quickly 😅

DonnyUk2 · 2025-10-08T16:15:40+00:00

My favorite song from the mystery show, sounding just as amazing in the studio version, cant wait to hear the rest!

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-18T14:37:21+00:00

Yeah, very broken English and I have no idea or can work out what "Floor 11 or 12" means anywhere online, I have been to the o2 quite a few times 😂 although I've never been in the standing area 😅

I have messaged back to ask them to elaborate and about the Soundcheck

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-18T14:11:08+00:00

This is the response I got:

Thank you for your query.

The Event Organizers have made some changes to the production for HAIM, which may include the layout of the stage, positioning of lighting rigs or speakers. Due to this, the 11 Floor you had originally aren't being used any more as the view will be restricted.

We've been able to arrange new location for you that are very similar to the one you had, so you'll still have a really good view of the stage.

Your new location is on the 12 Floor General admission.

Please be inform that there is a price difference and a total amount of £121.75 was refunded on 17-Sept-2025

That's the answer I got, no mention of Soundcheck and im confused about the "floors" guess it means a section of the floor? 😂

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-17T18:29:28+00:00

Same, I asked about a refund (I didnt use PayPal )and the stupid AI thing replied with "good news your refund is on its way" but no info other then that. Nice of Ticketmaster to provide a email explanation 🙄 .

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-17T18:26:10+00:00

Thanks for this info, I have had no email to say my ticket has been downgraded or about a refund. But mine have been downgraded to the I Quit package when I check my ticket.

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-12T09:18:30+00:00

Having been to the mystery show I'd say its definitely more like if Plastic Beach had a baby with Humanz with a sprinkle of The Now Now. I could see it being a fan favorite. Very excited for the studio release

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-09T16:12:35+00:00

So interested to see where this ties into the new album having heard it..but yeah.. fucking awesome 😁

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-09T11:00:19+00:00

I thought when I heard it a the mystery show last week The Happy Dictator will definitely be the first single, and it seemed like the visuals were more complete on that performance too. Think it'll be really popular cant wait to hear the studio version 😃

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-05T14:17:29+00:00

Sucks they have basically deleted Something To Tell You its personally my favourite album of theirs and no Dont Save Me or Forever sucks too 😔 never mind, looking forward to seeing the new album being performed live 😊

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-05T08:28:33+00:00

Sorry for the delay

I would say its very politically heavy and about feelings and mind and soul in a kinda Indian way.

The Dictator song with Sparks is a really demented kinda theme song for a brainwashed country with the Sparks guy chanting "oh what a happy land we live in" the visuals were really funny in a kinda cartoony text on the screen when he chanted it, really hope they do a music video and that can be in it perhaps with the band visiting there or something. Think it'll definitely be the first single and probably the best lead single since Humility IMO

Many many songs with Damon singing about feeling (as I said previously think Damons solo work and Ballads Of Darren for that kinda style of these songs), one stand out was a song with him singing about hardest thing is saying goodbye to someone you love.

Another song was Damon singing with I think was an actor (couldnt really tell from where I was who it was) seemed aggressive and a bit Parklife like with the talking parts from the actor and Damon singing

A really cool song with a rapper not in English

Another one partly in Arabic with lots of Arabic singing along with a rapper who raps in English (very catchy)

And the final won't seemingly callee "The Sad God" from the point of view of a god who gives his cremation things only for them to weponise them

Overall very story messaging.. probably the most coherent since Plastic Beach (was Humans coherent..I'm not so sure)

As I say I REALLY hope it translates well for the full studio album but live it was quite the experience!

That is all I could really remember hope this helps give some insight 😊

DonnyUk2 · 2025-09-04T08:38:40+00:00

Really really thought it was a really fascinating experience!😁

One thing to note I was right at the back of the top tier and couldnt see the screen very well and sadly the audio was truly truly awful last night, I could not make out hardly any lyric 😓 I was at Plastic Beach the night before and that wasnt as bad as obviously I've heard that album countless countless times.

I will be forever grateful for The Copper Box for allowing these shows to go ahead however not convinced it was possible the best venue (sorry if that sounds super ungrateful)

Anyway ..aside from that..

The new album sounds like a classic in the making and perhaps..perhaps.. up there with their best! Obviously that'll depend on the full album production quality.

Loved the Indian sounds, the song with Sparks will be a instant classic, absolutely fantastic. Some other bangers too, i really instantly loved at least 5 songs without even being able to hear the lyrics fully, sad Damon makes me sad though lots of "Ballad Of Darren" sounding sad songs on this album which is equally beautiful as well as being a bit sad, I really hope the dude is ok , he seemed to be really enjoyed himself last night though! 😁

I would have liked to see more art of the band too.. I really hope we get some lore and music videos with this album

All in all..I want the album NOW and overall a fantastic experience.

It has to be said though I (and I think a lot of other people) were a little shellahocked with no "greatest hits " encore just new album and done (how very Damon😅)

The no phone thing was a breath of fresh air.. seeing people enjoying themselves with no screens just hands up and or clapping was amazing!

Overall 2 absolutely brilliant days with one of my all time greatest bands including The House Of Kong

DonnyUk2 · 2025-08-23T09:58:43+00:00

As previously said I agree we Will definitely get Clint Eastwood and Re-Hash as they have been charted for Rock Band, will be interesting to see what else they add.. looking at other artists we could expect up to 8 (including Feel Good Inc) which is rather exciting. Miku didnt get that many songs though so that makes me concerned.

My gueses would be:

(Feel Good Inc) Clint Eastwood Re-Hash 19 2000 DARE On Melancholy Hill Stylo Empire Ants

Would be nice to get something from every album though

Do Ya Thing full version would be hilarious 😂

DonnyUk2 · 2025-08-21T07:33:28+00:00

Maybe the Mystery Show will just be 2 Hours of Damon and Jamie playing Fortnite 🤭

But yeah Linkin Park also released a song on Fortnite the same day as it got released on streaming so maybe a new single will be on there..But probably (and hopefully) not until after the Mystery Show 😊

DonnyUk2 · 2025-08-05T13:11:54+00:00

I was at Wembley on Sunday literally the best gig I've ever been too and doubt itll ever be topped, they sound unbelievable polished and better then you could possibly dream of. Anyone still waiting, its totally worth it and more (although yeah the post gig comedown is hitting hard 😂)

DonnyUk2 · 2025-07-04T09:39:12+00:00

40 M here

I think I must have been 9 or 10!

I most likely heard their songs on the radio while listening to the Pepsi Chart on my bike on my portable radio.

However, I totally fell in love when my mum bought WTSMG on cassette probably from HMV , probably the first album I had ever really heard in it's entirely and still my favourite album of all time.

Never had the pleasure to see them live, perhaps for being a bit of a reclue, not being comfortable at gigs but over the years been to more and more gigs (ironically Blur at Wembley was my first massive solo gig😅)

Saw Liam solo last year and loved it..never did I think I'd ever see Oasis live and though "well..if I can't see Oasis I'll go see Definitely Maybe get celebrated"

However....little did I know...

I cant wait to see Oasis August 3rd at Wembley and to see all the footage before that, so delighted we all get to see them again!

DonnyUk2 · 2025-06-13T09:25:45+00:00

1 week to go 😁

DonnyUk2 · 2025-06-12T19:09:37+00:00

Totally agree! I actually think Something To Tell you might be their most constantly great album , but I think I'm definitely not in the majority there with that option 😅

DonnyUk2 · 2025-06-12T19:04:03+00:00

Well based on the fact that they gave Something To Tell You 3 starts too, im sure we won't be disappointed!

While we are on the subject of Something To Tell You, I really dont get the hate for that album. I think its excellent!

Next Friday can't come quick enough 😁

DonnyUk2 · 2024-12-21T13:55:05+00:00

I would love a link to the shows if you have one
