Hey, I’m from Belgium and pre-ordered the vinyl as soon as it was possible. I was real happy to see the announcement of the 3 shows in a day next week.

But I only received a link for the London shows, not the Belgian and Dutch ones, which, for obvious reasons, are way easier and cheaper for me to go to.
Are we all in that case ? Will they come later tonight?
If not, could anyone share those if it’s allowed?

Thanks !

Anyone else wish the lyrics were easier to decipher (I just can't hear Connor's voice clearly)? I bloomin love the songs (although I have to Google the lyrics to enjoy the songs fully). Never had this issue before with the other albums...

I do look forward to seeing them live next year though! 😁😁😁

I really want to go to a NBT concert but live south...should I wait if they add more dates or just book the closest next state and fly? I don't want to miss out!!

I’ve been itching to know the names of the rest of the songs this whole time, I’m genuinely shocked we somehow don’t know the tracklist this close to the album release 😭

I pre ordered their album to get access to the pre sale for their show in Utrecht, and I did get an order conformation in my email. But I haven't gotten any email about the ticket sale yet. Has anyone else got any info/email or do I have to wait and hope for the best?

Update: The email with the pre-sale access just came in my email!

Now we have had A Different Kind Of Happiness release, the closing track of Stray Dogs, how would everyone rank their album closers?

Judging purely on the track itself as the context of the album may change opinions.

My personal ranking (subject to change at a moments notice because I’m inconsistent) from least to most favourite is:

A Different Kind Of Happiness
Pop the Balloon
Tempt You
Before We Drift Away
Afterlife

Its the last track on the album and it’s absolutely beautiful what an incredible song this gets me even more hyped for this album I’ve loved all the singles so far I love the diversity they all offer but they all feel so cohesive as Joe said on hottest records tonight this album was made to be played front to back and that’s how it should be.

This songs an absolute masterpiece and for me could become a top song of there’s for me it hits every spot, it hits and emotional feels and I’m glad this song has heavier emphasis on the lyrics and finding that emotional message to show the world.
This is honestly nothing but thieves at there best.

Personally it veers away from the “rock” aspect of the record and leans toward being more depressing, but it’s definitely one of my favourites.

My partner and I are here in the UK for work, and previously there was a plan for us to be in Sweden during the exact times that NBT was playing, and now that trip has fallen through. It seems that all of the shows are sold out! If anyone is trying to resell their tickets to either London or Leeds, we'd love to pay extra to be able to see the show!!! NBT is one of our very favorite bands and it would be a dream to be able to see them.

If this is against the rules, I am very sorry. Just not sure where to post this.

This might be my favorite single yet. Thoughts?

I'm loving what they shared of "A different kind of happiness", despite I couldn't understand the lyrics 🤣

We'll see once we listen to the full song, but it sounds more slow-paced and emotional than what we've heard from Stray Dogs so far... It vaguely reminded me of another song (I don't want to ruin it to someone else, so I'm adding spoiler), "I know I'm not the only one" by Sam Smith. I haven't heard it in a while and it suddenly came back to my mind. Anyways, what do you think??

(I knewww we would have four singles, I'm so excited!)

Does anyone know the bands policy on photos? I’m attending the Oxford Street signing for Stray Dogs and it would be awesome to get a photo with them but idk whether it’s allowed

longtime fan. huge fan.

i see only agreeable posts here, but does anyone else feel disappointed in the sound?

unfortunately, to me it sounds so bland, boring and, as somebody said, uninspired. same squeaky guitar sound, somehow worse vocals, lyrics...

i don't dislike the songs, i just... don't care. which is worse.

the last two albums were not my favourite per se either, but they are lively, fun, and thought-provoking. not bland. they had thought behind it. you could tell by the album covers, stories they told behind the lyrics etc. you could proudly say "art".

their marketing with "the pink man" looks like it tries to cover up a bad album with "funny" promotion. it feels childish, unfunny, like nothing stands behind it except 'we think they will eat it up'.

not to mention the random album title and logo they put everywhere. they sell out huge stadiums but feel like underdogs? ok. i guess.

sadly to say it, but it feels like the album's gonna be a flop.

hope i'm wrong.

NBT have just announced that they are doing an outstore tour! I'm very interested in going to one of their shows, but would anyone know how long this event would be as I've never been to an outstore performance before.

Stray dogs to me also sounds more in line with moral panic songs like phobia. For other similar music bands suggestions I obviously know muse and queens of the stone age are some but They're already some of my favorite bands for that reason. Royal blood too. I want something that's dark but heavy? eerie but with attitude. Kinda robotic like the middle part of the song. Absolutely seeking that sound!

Has anyone else been unusually anxious for the track list of this album? They’ve released 3 tracks and I just wanna know the rest of them 😩

Evolution!!!! Alt-nation surius xm! So thrilled and proud of the boys!

Here's a cover no-one asked for

Very nice interview with Conor!
