The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 310

I feel like most people in this thread would love the new Jon Bellion record. It’s awesome. Listen front to back the first time cause it’s quite the experience.

 

Is it anything like the last album? Truly hated that album

 

Well if you HATED the last one then I guess don’t give this a try. I loved the last one but in my opinion this is a huge progression.

 

Hi all second that Jon Bellion rec. @Mr. Serotonin and I have been speaking highly of it. I’d say even give this one a try, JB’s presence is much less overt and he steps back for the music, which has a WIDE range

Also, much less outright pop and more rock, indie pop, funk, jazz

 

I either love or hate songs by that dude. He rides the is-it-too-cheesy line so hard.

 

I have too much disdain toward him cause every YouTube search I make for All Time Low brings up a ton of results from him.

 

Matt Healy: "Conflicted sexuality is something loads of people go through”

 

Despite the long rollout I find myself hoping that this doesn't leak before the 30th. For months I've had it set in my head that all I'll be doing on the 30th is listening to this album for the first times and for it to unexpectedly leak a week or so before would sort of feel like a cop out.

 

I didn't think he came off very well in this interview at all. That, or the writer simply didn't care for him too much and decided to paint him in this particular light.

Healy tends to be a poor written subject, but when I actually watch his interviews he comes off as very bright.

 

It is weird they've held back reviews on this so far.

 

Wanna be the first?

 

If they'd let me, of course.

 

I saw a writer tweet out that the embargo ends next week or something.

 

ok they said no to reviews but what about postingthewholerecordontheforumcommunitythatyoubuiltfromthegroundupthatlovesandrespectsyouverymuch?

 

found this floating around

 

I love when posters have one word summaries of reviews.


"A stunning disappointment", great we'll put stunning on the poster.

 

"its fine"

 

the bands third album is their best yet at showing their poor songwriting skills

 

I can’t be the only one intrigued by the one quote with an ellipsis.

 

Aren't a few of those quotes from like the interview features with early music listens?

 

An absolute stone cold legend masterpiece -Stone Cold Steve Austin v Bret Hart Wrestlemania 13.

 

NME Big Read: A Brief Inquiry Into The 1975

A Cole Porter-like jazz song sounds like a standard and has the killer lyric “I fight crime online sometimes”; a new wave pop song is outwardly about love but is not so subtly an ode to heroin (“I’ve got a 20-stone monkey on my back”), there’s a fragile, beautiful ballad about guilt, one song employs the kind of plastic piano sound last heard on Glenn Medeiros’s ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You’; a ‘90s-style alt-rock track, ‘I Always Wanna Die Sometimes’, is a stirringly moving song about depression; a spoken word piece, voiced by Siri, skewers our relationship with the internet in a modern parable. And even in this jumbled up state, it sounds like a masterpiece, a game-changer, a bar-raiser. An absolute stone cold legend masterpiece. It sounds like they’ve done what Matty said all that time ago: they’ve made ‘OK Computer’ for a new generation of kids – ’Snowflake Computer’, if you will.

 

Wait. So why the damn ellipsis?!? It’s a complete sentence!

 

Feel like it's totally cheating.

Ask me for a quote you stone cold dorks.

"ES Magazine"... pshsha. who cares.

 

"this album is probably great idk haven't heard it yet" - me
