The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 378

I've always been a moderate 1975 fan. It was hard to escape the hype on AP for the first album, but I was never really invested in the band like so many other fans. I don't think I've watched a single interview/read anything about their personal lives, so that bit of ignorance probably hinders some of my connection. ILIWYS was a step up, IMO, and I really connected with "Nana" on a deeper level than most of their other songs.

I'm excited to return to the older stuff (and the EPs for the first time) and get a feeling for this in the context of their catalog. I'm not going to be hyperbolic and say that this changes pop music or w/e, but I will say that I really, really enjoy this record and think that this is the first time that I "get" it.

 

Sincerity Is Scary live is so lovely

 

Radio listeners are going to have a very different idea of what "music for cars" means.

 

ok i’ll say it

closer reminds me of champagne supernova

 

"Be My Mistake" is beautiful and on the second listen I completely forgave the two lines that stuck out on the first time.

 

And so is TooTime

 

On my second listen, and honestly, somebody inject Petrichor into my veins.

Also, even with ILIWYS being my favorite album, I think the singles work better in the context of this album than they did on ILIWYS. That album still feels segmented (if that's the right word) to me, where the singles weave in and out of this list nicely and make the album feel more cohesive as a whole.

 

Would be surprised if this wasn’t an influence on Inside Your Mind

 

Yeaaaah, I'm never going to need to hear "The Man Who Married a Robot" again.

 

The last side of this won’t be leaving my turntable for quite some time (whenever it arrives, that is )

 

Feels like I'm floating during "Inside Your Mind". This is as close as the band gets to EP sound for sure.

 

I'm going to be writing a pretty hefty review of this album tonight or tomorrow. I haven't done anything journalistic-wise for a while.

 

Always wanna die = oasis ?

 

"At the best of times I’m lonely in my mind, but I can find something to show you if you’ve got the time."

 

Whoever said "Mine" sounds like Matty's trapped inside of La La Land, you were dead on. Probably going to steal that description.

 

Idk if this was posted yet cause I can’t catch up on all these pages yet, but here this is

 

I can honestly say i've never heard a single song from this lot - Based on the amount of hype it's getting, I'll give this new album a listen

 

"I Always Wanna Die" is very special.

 

lolol my coworker just said "I've never been more wrong about anything in my life than the 1975"

 

lol what did they say before haha

 

even with how much I love ILIWYS, this album is much more of a brisk listen. for a while ILiWYS was a slight chore to get through. this eradicates that issue, and being 15min shorter definitely helps

 

Gotta agree with Jason that Be My Mistake is the weakest song on here and it's not even close.

 

whoa @ I like america

 

He just didn't get it at first, thought there wasn't anything special there. Over the course of this rollout, he fell for all the singles and gave ILIWYS more listens. I'm sure my obsession helped haha.

 

Hitting play now!
