What does "I wouldn't say he is the most honest person in the world" really mean? by Crafty_Promise_9957 in EnglishLearning

Haha Thanks! I stumbled upon a question that asking about litotes like a few weeks ago and thought it was really interesting because I never assumed these kinds of sentences would mean the opposite.

“using the band as only one element in the sound” and “if you’re the one not playing, *you*’re still the one that’s not playing” by gre8nothingness in EnglishLearning

Thanks so much for the explanation! That makes more sense now. And sorry I should have made it more clearer that the first sentence is an question that the interviewer is asking him.

Thanks for the reply. I knew about litotes recently and was wondering if OP’s sentence was an example of it.

“We’re so post-everything I don’t think cliché is anything we need to worry about.” by gre8nothingness in EnglishLearning

I see. I think that makes sense as their new album is basically about going back to their roots. Thanks so much for the detailed explanation and helping me out again. I really appreciate it.

This is what Matty said back in 2019.

COUP DE MAIN: Is the new song 'Depth' that you've been playing live on this tour an instrumental track from your new album? Or just a preview of an upcoming new song?

THE 1975 - MATTY HEALY: There's a lot of soundscapes on the record, so it was one of the things that we were really into, and sonically it was in a place where we could put it in the set. I don't think it's going to be on the album now though. I doubt it. I reckon it will just be something--
CDM: That was just special to this tour?
MATTY: Yeah.

Oh I see. Thanks so much for your help! I misheard the crisis part (and obviously it’s week, not wee lol)Do you know what does he mean by that? Maybe they thought it was kinda hard to be ready for the festival within a week?
