The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 73

i wouldnt exactly call them "pompous" given how dour the subject matter of the album is, but id also be down for 80+ minutes of sad 1975 music so what do i know

 

Haha pompous is maybe the wrong word, give how dour their subject matter usually is

 

I'll allow it.

 

I hope it's got a good mix of the styles they've done over the years while also sounding fresh. I also hope now with the upcoming release of this, they get a spot on music midtown in Atlanta in the fall. I saw them at Shaky Knees fest a few years ago and they were fantastic live and converted a few non-fans. I think it'd make sense to do a few late year fests after the album although they may be busy touring the UK at that point so who knows.

 

Pompousness is exactly what I'd call the factor that has always kept me from liking TWY

 

It's also one of the exact reasons I love The 1975.

 

i disagree but hey, opinions and such

 

It only works because they're English

 

And who can say no to that face.

 

matty healy cured me of my straightness god bless

 

Do we think it's possible they might not be releasing a single at all, just the album June 1?

 

if you saw them on the ILWYS tour cycle you absolutely fell in love with matty's pompousness. so fucking happy i saw them three times during that album's run.

 

damn it was about this time two years ago that i was still listening to ILIWYS every day since it had come out and realized it was truly one of those once in a lifetime albums for me

 

how many times have we all seen them live? what’s the farthest you guys have traveled??

 

The Philly show 2 years ago is in my top 3 shows all time

 

it's been two years so it's time to finally say it: I like it when you sleep is my favorite album of the decade so far. Easily.

 

I've seen them three times. I drove from St. Louis to Chicago to see them in 2016 at a Lolla after show at the House of Blues. It was really intimate. I saw them in Kansas City shortly before ILIWYS came out at a big theater and it was a great introduction to the cycle and my first time seeing them. Last time seeing them was in late 2016 in St. Louis with my girlfriend right before we moved to Philly. Three of the best shows I've ever seen.

 

i’m at 10. flew out from dc to denver for red rocks that’s my furthest. i was literally looking at just about every possible way to get myself to latitude

 

Seen them twice in Philly. One was at Union Transfer right after Self-Titled came out. The band was amazing, crowd was a bust, it was a 21+ show that started at 11PM after a Title Fight show wrapped up. People at that show managed to suck the life out of anybody who wanted to sing along or have a good time. That experience soured me a little on seeing them so I missed their Fillmore show in 2015 but I made up for it with the show at The Mann. The visuals at that show were amazing, band sounded tight as hell, and everyone in that crowd was a lot more vibrant and excited.

 

I have seen them live 5 or 6 times. Furthest I have driven is about 3 hours

 

The best crowd vibe was the Kansas City show right before the album dropped. But in St. Louis I was up on the balcony which was absolutely fucking incredible getting a great view of the entire stage the whole time

 

If they do another huge elaborate light set up I'm getting balcony seats every chance I get

I've seen them 8 times (twice before ILIWYS), farthest was about 3 hours. I live close to NYC, so I mostly see them there.

 

Only seen them twice.
Once at Lupos in Providence RI during the S/T run.
Once at the HOB Boston, the December before ILIWYS came out.

Also hi thread I'm v excited to hear some new music soon
