The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 352

The intro is worth it for “it is time to rebel” -> People

 

Damn, I don’t even have a notice on my vinyl (I ordered clear).

 

I would love like an edited version of the entry that was less than 2 minutes

 

Clear is delayed until June 12th

 

I’d stand on a hill for it if fucking Go Down came on before or right after it lol

 

Thank you. At least that’s not too far from now

 

I’m pretty sure I’m the yellow but I can’t remember

 

"Then Because She Goes"...a perfect piece of music? I believe so

 

Yes.

 

And I met one of your friends, and it was dead nice
He was fine, but he said
"Things that interest me exist outside of space and time"
Now, I know I should've left it, but who says that?
What a sigh

This is low-key hilarious.

 

Can’t wait for the album 5 intro with an auto tuned Greta speech

 

Plot twist: Every album now starts w/ a different public figure reciting the same speech.

 

Then because she goes is the perfect length

 

NO lol

 

Nah, it would be really weird to have a song about a blowjob come after that.

 

I had that realization last night as well

 

that song might honestly have my favorite lyrics he’s ever written tbh

 

Not sure how many crossover 1975 / Anberlin fans there are in here, but thematically Guys reminds me of Uncanny by Anberlin. Both are songs about their band mates, and both songs are great.

 

Time to rise up amiright?

 

oh no

 

Gilbert gottfried voice “it’s TIME to rebel!”

 

Always loved this:

 

Damn that’s prescient

 

a friend told me he would've loved the album if it were instrumental or sung by someone else, because to him matty sounds "on autopilot", like a weak link over some great production and music. does anyone share this opinion?

i don't think his vocals were ever meant to be judged on how good they are technically, but on how well they fit their role and are delivered according to the moods and themes of the songs. i think he excels at that - be it a deadpan retelling of a depressing moment or a stream-of-consciousness burst of anger, he does it in a way i can relate to. (also they went crazy with modulation and vocoders and made it sound more like an instrument half the time)

telling my friend he "doesn't get it" could sound patronizing and arrogant, but honestly that's the impression i get. maybe he was hoping for LIIWMI parts 2 3 4 etc, so i wonder it anyone else shares his opinion and if i'm missing some huge flaw
