The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 488

The album is getting good reviews because reviewers took out the right earbud.

 

Honestly I’m totally jealous of anyone that got to sing “Love It If We Made it” this year. Easily MY song of the year so it would have been cool to experience that.

 

I think those statements can both be true -- that people loved the album and that the ratings also take the underrating/longevity of ILIWYS into account.

 

Noisey put out their 100 best albums list and ABIIOR isn't on there at all. Imagine thinking that ABIIOR isn't at the very least in the top 100 albums of 2018...

 

Yep, this is exactly why I'm praising it. Caught me.

 

I fall more and more in love with Paris with each listen.

 

turns out Paris is the song of the year again

 

Idk why, but I always almost burst into tears at the line “not enough noise and too much racket.” I feel like it has to just be the way Matty emotes there, bc compared to some of the other lines in the song, it isn’t necessarily the saddest.

 

amazing turn of phrase, one of the best lines in their entire discography

 

Undoubtedly.

 

So he's said that line is a drug reference.. What is the reference?

 

"Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist" is the line that always hits me for some reason. Something about his delivery there. But that one does too. What a freakin song

 

I think racket is slang for coke

 

“railing racket off a porcelain basin” is def a coke lyric so

 

That's so absurd. But to play devil's advocate, they MAY have put together their list right before ABIIOR came out. It's common for a lot of albums released in the final month to get no recognition on these lists. I remember the year Beyonce's self titled album came out it wasn't on any year end list because it came out the beginning of December. Same with Gambino's Awaken My Love.

 

I hadn’t heard Love It If We Made It but saw pitchfork had it as their song of the year... yah it’s pretty great

 

You should listen to the album haha

 

That's probably true, I never take this band seriously enough

I still do a nerdy thing where I make myself a "Greatest Hits 2018" or whatever mix CD at the end of each year, been doing it since 2004, and The 1975 made it onto my 2013 CD with Chocolate and 2016 with The Sound... I probably like their music more than I realize. This one might make my 2018 list.

 

racket = cocaine

 

Never knew that! Amazing line tho

 

Matty singing about Nintendo Switch confirmed ahhhh

 

THANK YOU KANYE VERY COOL

 

Smart man. The Switch kicks ass.

 

Anyone have a good quality rip of the Philharmonic set that’s already broken up into individual songs? I have the full set but not cut up, and before I do it myself, I was curious if it was already somewhere and in good quality?
