The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 11

all of ryanryan's posts in this thread are complete trash

 

like good fucking grief dude i think those "worked up fans" are going to survive

 

it's almost like he's good at marketing or something

 

Exactly...Like it's literally his job to build hype and make sure their name is out there.

 

Interesting that that Roxy poster is cream colored...

 

@RyanRyan all of your posts here are great and cherished and I want you to know I agree with the sentiment that Jamie overpromises, underdelivers, and can be misleading with his statements beyond what's appropriate for his role as the hype man.

Pricing is so cuuuuuuute

 

Nigh on everything I ever say, it’s always you pair (Joe and sophos) that disagree and make out like I’m some sort of dictator for having a different opinion to yours. I’m past caring. It’s fucking boring. If you’re not shutting down my opinion you’re telling me I’m dictating. The hypocrisy is astounding. I’m fine with you not agreeing with me, but making out like everything I ever say is ‘trash’ because it doesn’t align with your opinion is just childish. It’s a forum, not an echo chamber. You don’t have to like everything I say. You usually don’t. That’s fine. But I don’t go around calling your opinions trash.

I had no concerns about whether fans were going to ‘survive’ being worked up. Talk about being pedantic. I was just saying after years of the same thing I personally think they deserve a bit better than the same old thing they’ve complained about from the start. It goes beyond being a hype man and clever marketing when such a large group of fans are as vocal as they are about the matter for as long as they have been. Anyway, whatever. I’m done talking to you guys. It’s exhausting.

 

Ok

 

Dropping hints that are tied to specific dates or times and then not following through with anything on those dates and times is not good marketing. Especially when an album is still so far out from release, there’s no need to start teasing specific dates. There are so many other ways to build hype... and the hype will be much better that way, too, because fans won’t be burned out on all the false promises. Like, there are effective and ineffective ways of being cryptic. Sometimes this band errs on the side of being ineffective with it. That’s not an attack on them, it’s just an observation.

It’s also not a universal truth that this kind of marketing or hyping or whatever sucks... some people enjoy it, nobody is saying otherwise. But if you can’t understand how it can also be hella annoying, I kinda feel like you’re so in love with this band that you can’t admit that they might be making some less-than-stellar PR decisions alongside their many, many more excellent and impeccable PR decisions.

There’s certainly no need to call someone’s posts “trash” because they are annoyed by a band failing to deliver on the oddly specific teases they insist on offering us and then only sometimes actually delivering on.

 

No fighting in the thread Matty would be mad

I really can’t believe this is a thing people are still talking about.

 

Don’t stop believing

 

I’m seeing them in a month and a half for the first time ever WOOOOOO

 

YOOO, these boys are sneaky.

The band has been using a newly recorded version of HNSCC as a transition into Somebody Else.

Here's them using it in Mexico and another in London.

Bet we get the full version on Notes.

 

Bullshit. Redo heads!

 

I remember them having a pretty HNSCC in an IG story a few years back

 

Wow, so Notes really did begin!

 

Sorry I called the trash posts trash lmfao y’all are funny

 

ya'll need to chill it's the fuckin' internet

 

Only 25 more days until @thenewmatthewperry and I are in Phoenix then Las Vegas for the first two shows of the US tour! I am *so* excited to see this band again, it's been so long.

I think it's pretty likely that the US shows will have the same production setup as the Vive Latino festival - essentially the slightly scaled back version they used at the smaller UK arenas on the past tour. Very few of the venues in the US have big enough stages to accommodate the full thing.
