The sombr record is also insanely good. First time hearing any of it on Wednesday.

It's like a 1975 greatest hits composition without Matty Healy's entire deal clouding it.

In which someone vastly more prominent than me also doubts The Gizmo Cult and its promises of miracles.

The exercise was sharply curtailed about a week ago, that is true.

The rest is speculation.
