- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

To me it sounds a bit like Arcade Fire.
Arcade Fire is much gayer. I don't remember War on Drugs requiring a suit and tie for one of their concerts.

Jesus i like Arcade Fire’s first three albums, but they really are faggots.

The singers singing style really sounds like Springsteen and a bit like Dire Straits. It’s not bad but i’m not really feeling it. Maybe i need to listen more to really get it. What is a good starting point?

Big fan. Been kind of diminishing returns since Lost in the Dream though.
It also annoys me that he took a bizarre stage name instead of just admitting he’s a Pollack.

I agree I thought the newest album had some good songs on it but nothing like Lost in the Dream. It just hits different.

Lost in the Dream in my opinion. I also feel like they are a band you listen to once and are like "that was alright" but it sticks with you and you listen to it again and appreciate it even more.

I’d say Lost in the Dream and then A Deeper Understanding. Kurt Vile played guitar on their earlier stuff so it had a bit of a different feel.
Definitely a grower. Didn’t do anything for me at first and ended up loving it.
I go deep w the Kurt Vile. Heard him on Tom Scharpling's show and really got into him.
Kurt Vile is fantastic but for some reason I always think of Maron sucking his dick and get irritated
