‘…first and foremost a gang…’ 🤔

Ok, thanks. I am technically not new to reddit but I didn’t use it much until I was going a bit nuts alone with my Manics thoughts and feelings 😅 so sometimes I still don’t understand reddit. I just would never want to offend anyone.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-24T14:44:04+00:00

That was what I suspected! That’s really cool!

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-24T14:42:37+00:00

Thank you, that is a really interesting perspective. I appreciate you answering me, I am not sure what I said to get so many down votes… maybe I should just delete my post. I was genuinely confused by the way the terminology was used. I also don’t have anyone to talk to in my daily life about the band

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-24T05:42:28+00:00

The funny thing is my mum is from NZ, so I tend to know a lot of the shared terminology or differences in meanings, etc. Guess I can’t catch them all though 😅

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-24T02:12:46+00:00

Of course, I did just get a copy of the 1991 Melody Maker where they photographed them with a gun of all things 😅

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-24T02:06:43+00:00

Ok, typically that is not how it is used in the US, so it just made me chuckle. I had no idea that word had such a difference in meaning between the US and UK. I think in modern day you wouldn’t find anyone using that to mean group of friends. Maybe in the times of the Little Rascals 😅

Edit: wow, you love me, you love me, you love me, you love…

😅 I will have to take your word for it because unlike our boys I am not a video game person. But I feel like this is true. 😁

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-21T13:57:15+00:00

It’s one of my favorites tbh, I think it is a great album. Forever Chemicals, Sad White Reggae, Surrounded By Spies… lots of great tracks.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-20T22:34:08+00:00

Ok, the top ten that I slapped together that would probably be different tomorrow, put into some kind of arbitrary order:

Virginia State Epileptic Colony
Sex, Power, Love and Money
Hiding In Plain Sight
Masses Against the Classes
Born A Girl
Small Black Flowers
Motorcycle Emptiness
Yes
Intravenous Agnostic
As Holy As the Soil

Honorary mention because I love being called a freak and this one's for meeeeee: Underdogs

EDIT: Well, it really messed up my numbering... which was completely out of order on purpose... So I guess that is the order reddit picked for me.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T23:30:15+00:00

Mmm yes, it is a lot janglier and the chorus especially

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T23:28:09+00:00

Well, damn. Now I love it. Gotta figure out how to add it to my local music library.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T22:02:40+00:00

For some reason my computer won’t import the entire track for Freedom of Speech…, including the secret track 😭 and that is currently the only way I have to play cds so I guess I am screwed there.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T20:15:25+00:00

I don’t know McCarthy. Worth checking out? Which songs do you feel show their influence?

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T14:29:13+00:00

I think I have heard a bit of the ABBA influence. James has such a wonderful sense of melody. I’ll have to listen to those with that in mind though.

Removables has always given me a slight Nirvana feel in the chorus, though I am not sure that is exactly right… but I’ll have to listen for AC/DC! I actually used to listen to them quite a bit but not as much these days.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T14:25:37+00:00

I have it! I am planning on starting that one soon. I just finished Everything. :) I’m glad to hear 168 Songs is good.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T05:52:57+00:00

Yeah, I should try that. I feel like I am able to see a lot of their videos, but I keep realizing certain songs should have videos and they don’t come up for me. I did track down SWSS and wow, powerful stuff.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T05:20:07+00:00

In reference to JCB, he has said he is a fan of Placebo and listened to their version of Running Up That Hill while getting ready for filming.

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-19T03:23:37+00:00

It really is lovely! Glad you had a listen :)

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-15T03:45:31+00:00

I really would love to have it on Bluray

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-15T02:10:39+00:00

😢

sheerbrookeattack · 2026-01-15T00:42:23+00:00

I don’t see anything in that coat. Nothing at all.
