Sleaford Mods: The Demise of Planet X review – vulnerability and versatility widen potty-mouthed appeal

I'm low-key surprised they didn't take it too far this time... still feels like they're trying to make a point about our society, but at least now they're not just shouting into the void πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, have you listened to Gina Was? That's some real emotional depth right there... Williamson's still got his rough edges, but it's cool to see him open up like that πŸ’”. And Gwendoline Christie on Double Diamond is a wild card – always down for a good hook πŸ˜‚. But what really got me is No Touch – Sue Tompkins and Jason going back and forth like an old couple... yeah, they're still not exactly the friendliest duo, but it's kinda sweet in its own gruff way πŸ€ͺ
 
I gotta say, this new album from Sleaford Mods is super interesting πŸ€”. I mean, they're still being their usual selves with all the cheeky banter and whatnot πŸ‘Š, but it's nice to see them exploring more emotional depth. Like, Jason Williamson's been getting roasted for his persona in the past, but on tracks like Gina Was, he shows us a whole different side πŸ˜”. It's actually really powerful πŸ’ͺ. And Gwendoline Christie on Game of Thrones is so awesome πŸ™Œ, I love how she brings that extra edge to Double Diamond πŸ”₯. The way Sue Tompkins interacts with Jason on No Touch is hilarious and also super sweet ❀️. It makes you realize they're not just this gruff duo, but actual people too πŸ€—.
 
πŸ€” I'm loving how Sleaford Mods are pushing the boundaries of their sound while still keeping that signature edge. The fact that Jason Williamson is opening up about his vulnerabilities in songs like Gina Was is a game-changer - it's like we're getting a glimpse into his psyche, you know? 😊 And can we talk about Gwendoline Christie slaying Game of Thrones rap on Double Diamond?! πŸ’β€β™€οΈ That juxtaposition is EVERYTHING. I also love how the album has this comical, playful vibe with Sue Tompkins' vocals in No Touch - it's like they're having a private argument on stage and it's just so endearing πŸ€—. I think that added depth shows Sleaford Mods are more than just loudmouths, but actual storytellers with some serious emotional intelligence πŸ’‘
 
I'm so down for this new album from Sleaford Mods 🀩🎡. I mean, Jason Williamson's always been good at speaking truth to power, but I didn't realize he was hiding such vulnerability beneath all that snark 😭. Like, on "Gina Was", it's like we're seeing him in a whole new light - all those years of being a bit of a hard man, and now we get to see the cracks 🀯. And Gwendoline Christie on Game of Thrones rapping? Mind blown! πŸ”₯ That Double Diamond track is giving me LIFE πŸ’–. I love how Sue Tompkins brings out the human side of Jason - it's like they're two old friends having a laugh, even if he tries to deny it 🀣. It just goes to show that Sleaford Mods are more than just a duo of provocateurs... they're storytellers, too πŸ’­. I'm so here for this album, and I know I'll be playing it non-stop over the next few weeks 🎧
 
OMG, I'm loving this new direction for Sleaford Mods 🀯!!! They're still pushing boundaries and calling out societal ills, but now they're doing it from a more vulnerable place 😭. It's like Jason Williamson is letting his guard down (just a little πŸ˜‰) and sharing some really honest stuff about himself. And Andrew Fearn's production is getting SO much more interesting – I mean, who knew classical strings could make you wanna move your body?! πŸ’ƒ I'm also obsessed with the contrast between Jazza's gruffness and Gwendoline Christie's fire πŸ’β€β™€οΈ! Double Diamond is giving me LIFE! And that moment on No Touch when Sue Tompkins teases him? 🀣 pure gold, mate. It's like they're humanizing themselves in front of our eyes and it's SO refreshing. I'm totally here for this new wave of emotional depth from Sleaford Mods πŸ’–
