The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 154

I honestly think that’s the precise reason I’m just like...ok.

 

Great song. I like it a lot more than FSOM.

 

The Edge of Seventeen is THE. BEST.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

Like it better in the car

 

This is my favorite 1975 song in a while. Love love love it.

 

Does anyone get a early to mid 2000s emo sound from this?? I haven’t seen that comparison but it was my immediate thought. Not calling it the same but like the starting line or something around that I can’t put my finger exactly on it if you can think of a better comparison say so but yeah that’s where I’m at and I really enjoy it.

 

“Music For Cars”

 

Yeah this is straight up early 2000’s sounding. I mean I don’t want to say it sounds like Home Grown or another band from that era but it definitely has those qualities.

I dig it.

 

definitely picking up on some fun easter egg-y background vocals in the last chorus

George is such a great producer

 

I like it

 

The whole thing sounds like Busted I love it

 

Really like it. Is every song on this album going to be a different sort of pastiche of a genre? Like this is late 80s/early 90s shoegaze pop, FSOM is garage/2step and whatever genre People is haha.

 

That’s what most of their albums are, with interludes that serve as connective tissue

 

Yet some people thought the whole album would sound like People

 

Reporting back just to say that no I have not turned this song off yet

 

Really? That's cool. I've never really dug that deep into their discography. These last 3 songs just all seem very on the nose in terms of genre without a "modern spin" on it or whatever. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

 

Absolutely! Give their discography a run, and play the albums front to back. ILIWYS (2nd album) is extremely cohesive and has a wide range of style, and ABOIIR is a little more stylistically diverse, but they really know how to craft a full listening experience, and the sequencing of their albums somehow just works. There’s a lot of sounds they dabble in, but always make it work as a complete piece.

 

I didn’t *think* it but I certainly *wished* it

 

THIS SONG MADE ME SMILE

 

This’ll be in my head “for ages”.

 

It's funny to me that they hyped this record up as a nighttime record, yet I cannot think of a sunnier song in their discography than this one. Not that I'm complaining, I look at everything this band does through rose-colored glasses, so it's hard for them to let me down.

 

This is the first 1975 song I’ve enjoyed enough to download from AM. Hopefully they release more like it.

 

I’ve only listened to this like 5 times but...

“FEELS LIKE I’VE KNOWN THIS SONG FOR AGESSSSS....”

 

Running to my car to listen to this because headphones at the desk will get me deported

 

Same. I was a little upset. I'm in Portland, but at least Seattle, come on lol
