The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 442

"Mine" is the early afternoon vibe. Gonna loop this ish and maybe throw in a little "Downtown Lights" every other repeat.

 

TOOL TIME TOOL TIME TOOL TIME

 

I honestly do not get all the Bon iver comparisons. I hear it maybe a little bit on I Like America and the 1975, but that's it, and even that is really just because he used the harmonizer or vocoder or whatever. It's not like Bon Iver invented those vocal effects. They could've just as easily been inspired by Kanye or fun. or really a ton of people for those parts.

Also I get the Radiohead comparisons for the spirit of them, in that it's an evolution into something even greater for a band that was already really good and feels like a really significant album for the time we are living in, but I don't agree that the albums have any thematic similarities or offer any of the same conclusions. They explore technology and how it has or will impact society from completely different lenses.

 

With the Bon Iver comparisons, I think that's just down to 22AM being released so recently is all. In my opinion anyway. I didn't see any connection other than the 22AM ones in the songs you mentioned either. I don't usually listen to music with such heavy vocal effects, and Bon Iver is my only reference.

 

Is this not a lyric from "Give Yourself a Try"?

 

That's what I hear

 

there was some great stuff on here, and some things I was meh on. I'm only 11 tracks in, will finish later for sure.

 

I'll drink any type of coffee anywhere any time.

My favorite cup is a cup made at home with my french press tho.

 

Drop it like it's hot teebsy

Never mind

 

Literally had to look up the lyrics because I was making a joke, but then turned out it was less a joke. Those lyrics are all over the place!

 

Haha

 

Ok. Of the next 8 songs, I’ve only heard 1. Let’s go!

 

Finally listening.

Quick thoughts:

The intro is p much Bon Iver, and I’m ok with it.
This album is amazing
I never realized how fantastic the bass was on ILIWMI til now
The Robot song is going to make my wife say wtf when she first hears it
I love this band

 

My 20-year-old girlfriend agreed with me how hot it would be if I mistook overfascination with her epistemological processes for wanting to murder her

 

What is happening right now

 

Well I'm glad there's a way to block users

 

da fuq?

 

I can either start listening to this for the first time at 3:30 or I can wait until I get home so I can fill a thermos full of bourbon and go for a walk with some good headphones hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) is easily this band's best closer

 

#2!!!!

 

They should drop an instrumental version of the robot track for us to slot in after we've heard the full version a few times.

 

Record is good but it didn't give me that same magical feeling that "i like it when you sleep.." did upon first listen.

 

They're just interpreting Matty's response to that interview question. That's basically what he said.
