I'm trying to figure out whether this is just me or if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

I've been listening to "I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)" regularly since 2022. I know this song really well—I play it all the time while I'm driving.

I listened to it again recently, and it honestly sounded like a different recording. The intro, production, tempo, and overall structure all felt different to me.

The version I remember started with an instrumental intro (a synth and bass line), and the "don't wanna talk" vocals sounded much cleaner. I also remember the "you fell in love" section having more subtle reverb. The version I'm hearing now starts with the chorus melody in a heavily processed, Daft Punk-style robotic voice, and the whole track has a much more 80s, reverb-heavy sound.

I've searched everywhere to see if Glass Animals ever remixed, remastered, or replaced the streaming version, but everything I can find says it's been the same recording since 2021.

Has anyone else noticed this, or am I somehow remembering a different version that I can't find anymore? Or is this a case of the Mandela Effect? I've never experienced anything like this before, so I'm flabbergasted.

Not the home movies as in the audio interludes, but the official videos to go along with the songs, where did most of them go? Only ones I see are the title track and Helium. Memorable part of the pandemic for me.

Anyone else notice the burp effect in How I Learned To Love The Bomb? It first occurs at 1:17 and repeats several times throughout and I have to say now that I notice it I cannot stop hearing it and it may have diminished this track for me(a tragedy as it is one of my favorites from the album!)… Thoughts/does it ruin it or become too distracting for you?

Anyone know when they’ll be putting out a new album? Or any new singles? It feels like it’s been forever 😅🤘🏻

My friend and I listened to How to Be a Human Being in the car a few weeks ago and I have had the album on loop ever since. I'd really like to find more music with a similar sound. I love the way the vocals and instrumentals are arranged and produced, especially in "Life Itself," "Youth," "Pork Soda," "Mama's Gun," and "Poplar St." However, it's so distant from the type of music I normally listen to (mostly pop, house, and a bit of indie rock) that I'm not sure where to start.

Do you guys have any recs? I figure you're familiar with the album and might have tastes in line with it.
