The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 332

More than half of my 26 now listens have happened between 6- 10:30 on my porch with slippers and coffee

 

deleting a song from the album that you don't like or care for is exactly the same as just skipping it in a full listen. if you have no care to hear the song, why have it there? who cares? why does this topic seem to always generate such firey debate? listen to shit the way you want and let others listen the way they want.

 

Everything causes a fiery debate in triggercity.forum.fm. Everyone is always so fucking affected lol

 

I'm not the biggest fan of this band, but I always listen through their albums at least once, and there's usually 3-4 songs I'll throw on a playlist. I haven't really been keeping up with this one though, so going in mostly blind, I think.

So wow this is really starting off with a Greta speech, huh?

 

I agree with what most people have said. I'll listen to an album, add the songs I really enjoy to a playlist, listen to the shit out of them and almost pretend like the others don't exist.

 

@Sean Murphy agreed. People around these parts always gotta make things into arguments.

Really enjoying the record. I think it has a collection of some of their best songs and also some that couldve been better left off.

 

Everyone definitely skips the opener right? Nobody listens to the whole tHING RIGHT???

 

like for fucks sake even the planets most iconic artists would probably have a few misses on a 22 song album lol

 

the real question is, do i go right into this now, or do a 1975 dive all day ending with this new one?

 

After this and Enter Shikari in quick succession - the album is dead; long live the album!

 

The I love yous on Then Because...oh man

 

Do one proper than walk it back from the get

 

Do a full dive. That’s what I did the other day.

 

No

 

The answer is to start with this. Then go back through the rest and end with this.

 

Or give it three proper (that’s the sweet spot) to earn an appreciation as it’s own thing and then get all nostalgic and shit

 

I personally don't like editing albums because I do view them as a finished, concrete piece of work. To change that means altering my perception of a piece in a way unintended by the creator. I wouldn't alter a painting or a film to make it more to my taste; I'd just lament the missed opportunity. I wouldn't want to full myself into thinking I love something by an artist when I was the one that further crafted it to suit my specific taste.

I guess it's stupid to fault others for doing so because this view is subjective and ultimately trivial, but I'd rather not love something than edit it until I do.

 

I did ABI twice yesterday and I’m going all the way back today.

 

All hail the lamentees!

 

This is an honest question, have you ever listened to a song on its own outside the context of the album it’s on? If you have, what’s the difference?

 

I may never listen to the Greta intro again. What’s anyone gonna do about it?

I’m not a big fan of personally skipping around records. But sometimes I’ll start a record halfway through because I don’t always have time to sit through an entire record (because life and kids and shit) and I don’t want to keep starting from track 1.

my preference is to start from track 1. That’s not always feasible. I’m not a big playlist guy and I hate shuffle but man I can’t tell people they can’t do that. That’s crazy. Once you release art it’s no longer yours.

Engaging with parts of an album vs. engaging with the whole work of art.

 

I can’t fucking believe JFC is going to end up one of my fave slow jams from them
