The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 305

"A Change of Heart" --> "Sincerity is Scary" --> "The Birthday Party" imo

Matty in his storytelling bag on a song in the first 3rd of each album

 

this is primarily my opinion

 

Tetrad Unlocked.

 

I agree with you, but the interesting thing about this is that a 22 song album forces your to really think about your discourse in the current internet landscape. I adore all of the tracks, and feel a specific way ya about the songs, but knowing the specificity of my attachment and searching for meaning in the songs and etc, I have to come to terms with the fact that others won’t have the same reaction

 

what I said:
“it’s not as interesting to me as albums from Dua, Lauv, Charli, Rina, and quite a few others so far this year.”

‘Cause it’s my opinion on what is interesting this year in the pop realm.

 

oh i mean i get it!!! but i also think this record is like... wildly special, in a way that’s distinct from how their previous records were special, and i don’t want people to miss that. this is the fight i fight every way

 

Yeah but you say this about virtually every album in every album thread

(and I’ll also argue it’s distinctly not)

 

This does confirm that I need to stop listening to the new Phoebe Bridgers songs so I can preserve them for the album.

 

Lmao every thread

“but this is the best song[album] ever”

sorry @unbornwhiskey

 

thanks jason i guess i'll stop???

 

anyway i have "then because she goes" stuck in my head again

 

Trade mark Drew Beringer circa 2010 - current

 

I love @unbornwhiskey 's unfettered enthusiasm in album threads

sure it may seem hyperbolic but that's the fun of first / early listens imo !

I love their taste tho too ofc lol

 

Haha don’t stop I’m just saying!

 

jaw dropped upon hearing those GUITARS for the first time

their emo roots are still alive

 

I’m calling you out - you never responded to my question about the END record

 

so many obvious nods to dance tradition, bits of classic UKG and shades of Hopkins/Burial/Blake in the sound design with an obvious embrace of modern house tropes alongside twangy tearjerkers

 

Isn't 'special' all pretty relative?

 

“Subscribe to my newsletter”

lol

 

isn't music just subjective etc. etc.

 

@Jason Tate what did you think of Cape God?

 

I’m just glad Matty busts out the Michael McDonald voice again

 

I’m in agreement with @Jason Tate here. This record isn’t bad by any means but I do think it’s being elevated over other (great) pop and rock records this year for some reason, which is a bit unfortunate.
