The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 353

Matty sounds great on this

 

got bored. made it for the club kids. thanks mindshower.

 

Also lollll I’m in love with this album now

 

This album's growing on me. The first quarter is certainly pretty jumbled and it doesn't really hit it's groove until JC2005 but from then on it's pretty good and more cohesive, imo, and I can't really think of any other way to sequence it that would make it any better. I think I like it the least out of the MFC releases but only because everything else is so stellar, that's not a knock on this album. The only thing that's holding it back for me is that there is no immediate standout song like in past releases, Too Shy is probably the closest, but this album is just far more subdued.

 

At this point the only thing that turns me off about this album is track 3 killing the momentum and the Greta intro being literally 5 minutes long.

 

Thinking Roadkill might be close to the best thing on here.

 

The start of this album is like if they started with the middle section of ILIWYS lmao

 

Biggest issue still remains how yeah I know leads into then because. Both because it’s just not a good transition but I have the “oh wow yeah I know should have ended like 2 minutes ago already” juxtaposed by “aw shit then should be two minutes longer” lol

 

This is chill

 

Yeah I Know is one of my favorites

Actually I'm just gonna rank every song just to start chaos in this thread, this is all subject to change but rn I'm feeling this:

People
I think there's something you should know
Tooshy
What should I say
nothing revealed
Tonight I wish I was your boy
frail state o mind
guys
roadkill
yeah I know
streaming and birthday party
meand you
shiny collarbone
playing on my mind
having no head
bagsby not in net
then before she goes
Jesus Christ
don't worry
the end
The 1975

 

my opinion on this record has been changing so much from day to day but right now:

the birthday party
frail state of mind (despite not caring for it when it was released)
yeah i know
i think there's something you should know
people
there because she goes
if you're too shy
me and you together song (funny enough, this was one of my favorite 1975 singles in a while, but for some reason i'm not as excited about it in context of the record. still love it though)
don't worry
bagsy not in net
guys
jesus christ
what should i say
shiny collarbone
nothing revealed
playing on my mind
guys
tonight
the end
having no head
the 1975
streaming

 

wow i can't believe i just did that pls take it all with a grain of salt

 

the birthday party probably isn't my ACTUAL favorite song on here, but it's the one that affects me the most on an emotional level. for whatever reason, it's one of their songs that just really stirs something in me even if i couldn't really tell you why.

 

The fucking snare in TBP slaps my mind every time it starts

 

tweeted this to no engagement lmao but after a little while this is how I feel

Edit: I still fucking LOVE this record but that's my lil critique hahaha

 

STOP CUTTING STREAMING

 

I couldn't cut anything cause I'm not a playlist guy. I either like it as is, or I don't at all.

 

He doesn’t get it. Matty sounds fantastic.

 

Moving/cutting The End I get but I will never understand cutting streaming. It leads into birthday party so wonderfully

 

it’s a 1:30 intro with elements of things they’ve done better before I don’t see why it’s such a big deal that’s my 2 cents!!

 

Everytime someone nails a transition I appreciate it even if they've done it before lol

 

yeah it's one of those odd takes from someone whose music taste usually aligns with mine, so i try to make sense of it even if it is, indeed, nonsense lol i'll just let it slide as "yeah this one's not for you, that's okay"

i'm still getting into the headspace required to fully appreciate this, the first five song stretch in particular is a bit clunky/distracting - not the songs themselves but the sequencing.

other than that i lose myself in the remaining 60 minutes and they just go by in the blink of an eye. "tonight (i wish i was your boy)" might be my current favorite. makes me long for love like i haven't in years

 

My best friend is exactly like that. We're so insanely aligned but he hates this band.

 

So this is kinda dumb, but I’m on furlough so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I compiled the setlists from every time I’ve seen The 1975 (21 times) and totaled up the number of times I’ve seen each song.

Dropbox - The1975 Setlist Project.xlsx - Simplify your life

Chocolate, Sex, Somebody Else, and The Sound are the only songs that were played at every single show I went to. She’s American is the next highest at 18 times, followed by Robbers at 17, and Love Me and A Change of Heart at 16 each. I think it’s interesting to see the progression of sets throughout the years, including the most common non-single songs as well as how infrequently some other tracks are played live. I find it funny when I see people saying they want certain songs added back to the set when those are some of the ones that get played pretty frequently.

 

21 times? Damn.
