I'M SCARED OF DYING


IT'S FIIIIIINE

 

Okay, i just listened to the full entire LP for the first time and it isn't lackluster as some said it would be and IT IS NOT THE MODERN OK COMPUTER, it is nothing like Radiohead's third album AT ALL, it has some faults, like the boorish parts in some of the deeper cuts and lets be real here; autotune and electropop where there shouldn't be, the difference between this one and 2016's I Like It When... is the tone, A Brief Inquiry... is not a superior album at all, but also not inferior, it is so different that i honestly can't compare them at all, i'm dumbfounded, This one isn't a slow burner it's an afterthought of modernity, it doesn't join in on trends like their self titled and it doesn't fall with grace, slow dancing with running mascara like I Like It When You Sleep, this one is a carousel of memories and polaroids:

old ones when you were little and new ones where nothing seems to make sense anymore and nothing looks defined, the lines blurred into one another, the colors sinked into each other.. until you put on your googles and everything makes sense, it isn't a modern picture you're seeing anymore but a smell, and a puddle, once you're taken into the LP, complex things like "Modernity","Trends","Death,"Cheating" and "Social Media" are reduced and made fun of, the 1975 takes every little social invention of the last twenty years and squishes it like play-doh, beautifully orchestrated, it has it's defining moments of identity.

^^from the subreddit - actually a good comment

 

I don’t even know what that’s trying to say. I old.

 

Did anyone else get emotionally triggered by I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)? 0:32 mark I started crying. I have no chill. This is massive.

 

After a beautiful late night drive to this at a cool 50 degrees I feel like a completely different person.

 

It reads kind of similar to how watching Call Me By Your Name feels

 

Be My Mistake not doing it at all folks, what's up with this?

 

What does he saaaaaaaaayyyyyy during Petrichor!?

 

Man Who Married a Robot is fucking ridiculous. The music is beautiful, but..

 

this is the next My beautiful dark twisted fantasy

 

Petrichor fucked me up that is exactly what I love about this band

 

*me waking up everyone I know to discuss this album*

 

I thought CIBYN was great and moving and coherent. And lots of bikes. Heh. The punctuation to the twisted metaphors and adjectives don’t even make sense to me in that post though, I tried to read it multiple times and can’t follow.

“the 1975 takes every little social invention of the last twenty years and squishes it like play-doh,beautifully orchestrated, it has it's defining moments of identity”

What is that even saying?

 

Oh sincerity is scary you naughty thing you

 

"mine" is a stunning moment. anyone who thinks this is just a pop band needs to be shown this song. this is exceptional, phenomenal songwriting far beyond their years.

 

Everyone’s reactions as they listen to this are amazing. It’s going to feel like forever until Friday...

 

people on reddit trying to sound smarter than they really are because they read pitchfork every now and then. yawn. i discuss music on this site and this site only for a reason. people 'round here (mostly) stick to what they know and dont try extra hard. its natural and more productive

 

Please don’t end up like Kanye please please please please please please x 3000.

This does remind me of when Fun. took a lot of what he did, turned it into their pop album, and helped shape pop music for the next 5 years. This could be as influential. George is that good here. He steps it all forward too. Doesn’t feel like a rehash.

 

For any music theory nerds out there. I've been waiting for The 1975 to use the IV minor chord as modal interchange for years. I could've sworn they did it in "By Your Side" but it works so well in "I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)"

The entire ending of that song feels very Oasis-esque and I'm here for it.

 

i couldnt be more in love is just another fucking grand slam of a song. i never thought theyd top this must be my dream - paris - nana - she lays down as a closing sequence. never in my life. and yet, here they are....topping it
