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

[Rich Rabb]

I'm lovin' how Sleaford Mods are pushin' boundaries with The Demise of Planet X ! They're not afraid to get real about societal ills and personal struggles, but now they're showin' their softer side too . Jason's lyrics are like a punch in the face – wake you up, make you think, but also genuinely cathartic . Andrew's experimentin' with new sounds, and it's so sick to hear Gwendoline Christie bringin' the heat on The Good Life ! It's not just about angry rants, it's a full-on exploration of human emotions . They're still Sleaford Mods, but they're takin' us on a wild ride with vulnerability and emotional depth .

I'm loving the new direction Sleaford Mods are taking with The Demise of Planet X! Jason Williamson's lyrics are still on point, tackling tough topics like financial despair and far-right ideologies, but this album shows he's not afraid to get vulnerable too. It's like he's stripping away his armor and showing us the real him, and it's honestly super relatable. I love how Andrew Fearn is experimenting with new sounds too - that classical string section on Double Diamond gives me chills! The way the album balances Williamson's signature gruffness with emotional depth is pure magic. Tracks like No Touch are just genius, showcasing his wit and humor while still being super humanizing. Can't wait to see where they go from here!

LOL @ the mods going soft I mean, in a good way I guess . It's like Jason Williamson is finally opening up about his emotions instead of just ranting about how crap society is. And bravo to Andrew Fearn for adding some classical flair to Double Diamond ! But let's be real, Sleaford Mods are still the same old mods we love to hate... err, I mean, love . The way they tackle these serious topics like Brexit and far-right ideologies in a satirical way is genius. And those Twitter tantrums lyrics? LOL, so relatable ! But seriously, this album marks a new chapter for the duo and it's awesome to see them exploring different sounds and themes. Can't wait to see what they do next

I'm totally loving the new direction Sleaford Mods are taking with The Demise of Planet X ! Jason Williamson's lyrics are as incisive as ever, but now he's getting all deep and vulnerable too . I mean, who knew he was dealing with childhood trauma on some tracks? That adds a whole new level to the anger and frustration he's always rapping about . The way Andrew Fearn is experimenting with classical strings and collaborating with other artists is genius too . And that song with Gwendoline Christie... my. god. It's like they're speaking our language or something ! I'm all for the duo embracing their softer side, it makes them even more relatable and humanized . Overall, this album is a triumph – it's Sleaford Mods at their most nuanced and emotionally resonant

Man... I remember when you could still have a decent conversation with your mate without feeling like you were stuck in some awkward cycle of 'likes' and emojis . Now it's all about how many followers you have, and if someone likes or comments on your post within the first 30 minutes, it's considered a failure .

But, seriously, Sleaford Mods are back with another banger and I'm loving how Jason Williamson is experimenting with new sounds . The way he tackles serious topics like trauma and vulnerability is so refreshing, you know? It's not just about ranting against society, but actually exploring the human side of things .

And, oh man... that collaboration with Gwendoline Christie on "The Good Life" is insane ! I'm loving how Andrew Fearn is pushing the boundaries of their sound too. It's like they're saying, 'Hey, we've been around for a minute, but we can still surprise you' .

For me, The Demise of Planet X is more than just an album – it's a reflection of our society's growing emotional intelligence . We need more music like this that's raw, honest, and not afraid to get real . Bring on the next one!
