  1. Oh okay thanks. It's a bit weird but understandable ha. Anyways it was a OUIFM interview (I think the link is what's blocking my posts), and the questions are in french. Answers are in english tho.
  2. It's an actual lyric from Propaganda, it's in the magazine I translated and sent to you guys, they must have gotten it too. By the way I'm trying to send another translated interview but the posts aren't appearing.
  3. -Do these 4 songs give away the artistic direction of the albumnothing? 0:18 -You said in the past that you didn't want to do a concept album, but aren't your videos part of a conceptnothing? 0:43 -Will there be a video for each song, like a TV shownothing? 1:23 -In 2015, with your album Drones, you had found the «word of the yearnothing». Seems like Algorithm is this year'snothing? 2:00 -Simulation Theory is a very ecclectic album. What place do the guitars have in this album and in the bandnothing? 3:03 -Matt, you're part of the guiness records book of 2010 for breaking the most guitars on tour, 140 broken guitars during the absolution tour, is that truenothing? 3:50 -Dom, how many of Matt's guitars did you take in the headnothing? 4:29 -For your gigs, are you gonna try to recreate the feeling/ambiance of your videosnothing? 5:54

  5. Welp, thanks for crediting me hah. Now that we're here, have that too : MYROCK French interview translation, biggest points: -We can almost call the trio a quatuor now, as Morgan Nicholls's prescence is now essential. -When they started working on the album, Someting Human was way more folk, and Dig Down was more gospel-y. They changed the song to make a more cohesive album. -Dom is now the last one to record his parts, instead of being the first one in the past. He prefers this way of recording. -They choosed to go with the whole 80s thing to go back to their «personnal» roots. -Algorithm is close to Apocalypse Please/Supremacy, as a way of introducing the album. -They tried to make the listener embark on a journey out of time, to make them disoriented and confused. Simulation Theory is like, another timeline. Another version of our world. -That's why The Void is more of an «ambiant piece» than a regular song, it's as if you were floating in space. -The general themes of the album are concentrated in Algorithm. An Intelligence (Artificial or Human) realises they live in a simuated reality, and that it is controlled by its creator. The intelligence feels betrayed, thinks the situation is injust, and tries to escape. Something Human is the most personnal song, that is the least «politics-oriented» (at least by interpretation). Which explains the lightness of the song, according to Chris. -Tove Lo sings the highest notes in Get Up and Fight. Matt couldn't reach those unless he screamed, which he disliked. -Everything is stylized to the max. Their faces on the album aren't there to represent the band itself, but to represent the characters of the album's story. -Despite the electro influences, there's soundscapes that sound similar to those of Bliss, Easily and Knights of Cydonia. -They have a hard time balancing the setlists, as they believe 95% of the people that goes to big show don't listen to many their old songs anymore (B&H, Easily and Shrinking Universe are quoted). -For the tour visuals, they'd like to focus more on real artistic and performances instead of putting videos and drones in the air.
