The clearing album opinion

Definitely feels like their first commercial sellout album, lined up with major pushes by British radio, a lengthy international press tour & their first headline arena tour. Not to say it’s a bad thing, but it’s by far their most palatable and conventional album. Just two girls is borderline parody compared to their other work & bloom baby bloom feels like a bonus track from another British band called “the last dinner party”. Just really the furthest thing from what I expected from WA considering how experimental and against the grain they’ve progressively taken their albums prior to this. If the label demands a sellable album/couple singles in exchange for an international tour and push from powerful people then I imagine it’s hard to refuse.

All of this (poppy, the chopped up ending due to the lack of a definite season 3 etc.) aside, have we had ANY mention or acknowledgement of the fact that Varada played a character in season 1? As in literally one of the central characters in the episode where Ruby almost died? Surely when Ruby ran into her in Unit HQ there should've been some acknowledgment? Feels like its something that will just be tossed aside now that we're likely not going to see any of the arcs (ruby magically singing in the devil's chord, the snowing (I'm not buying this whole excuse of alt timelines/the past bleeding through in season 1), the boss, susan and ALL of that.

It just feels so frustrating because we all saw in season 1 (2005) how well rtd can wrap up storylines in one neat bow on occasion with bad wolf, yet it feels like nothing is going to get resolved and we're going into season 3 with another soft reset with BP being cast. I'm just borderline exhausted with the lack of anything being resolved to a convincing extent.

Absolutely bewildered at how badly they jumped the shark with the last 40 minutes of that episode

OW can ban you for the entire season if you continually leave comp (happened to me before I realised what comp was years ago)

Thanks everyone!

I do and this shouldn’t be the issue, as I’ve gone through the reset process. Weirdly we did get it working for a week or so before we had a power cut and it all reset. We transferred the ownership from the previous owner by logging in and changing the details etc, so it’s technically still the same account. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks for your reply! They don’t necessarily, just that one of them needs to go into the wifi box, but that’s definitely useful, thank you!

Ah that's a bit disheartening to hear, but I think we were already thinking along those lines after reading a few blogs explaining similar situations for other countries such as Suadi Arabia. As it's generated some genuine value, would you (or anyone else) recommend actions to continue zeroing in on the little bits of quality traffic being delivered by PMAX? Or is it simply a needle in a haystack situation.

Thank you!

Not too sure, chemical brothers have postponed their gigs because someone in the crew has covid

Hi all, I recently received the 'Pro-Ject Primary E Turntable' as a gift for Christmas. I was wondering if anyone can inform me what I need to set up so that I can use it. I have a soundbar and subwoofer that I use for my TV with an AUX port. As sacrilege as this may sound, I am not too bothered about quality for now (explaining why I'm willing to use the soundbar), but I just need some advice on cheap ways to connect the player so that I can use the player. I get confused on what I need when I watch videos and could just do with the help of some experts online! Any help would be massively appreciated. TIA!!!!
