    I think it was great the first time I heard it, just has zero replay value. Same with the robot song on ABI

    grey hairs, get out of me zoots! Prestigious

    Would of been more impactful if it was way shorter and succinct so it was less skippable, most people don't really want to be lectured for a few minutes before the album starts

    Listening to that every time is truly wild. I listened once and never will again.

    Notes also isn’t an album I listen to front to back so there’s barely a chance for me to listen to Greta

    It’s going to hold up extremely well 20 years from now. Guaranteed.

    Got a light?

    Notes has a couple of my top songs from them and was my favorite but this has taken over, no filler, Human too has grown on me so now I like every song, even the lyrics that aren’t complex still hit hard (Oh Caroline+All I Need to Hear). Favorite record at least of the decade so far

    Greta’s message is good and important I just don’t want to hear that every time I listen to a record.

    And I’m just saying I think overall it’s a very smart and bold move that’s absolutely going to pay off in the long run, and matty hasn’t been shy about his ambition toward cementing a legacy and I think using Greta’s speech to open their album that came out in 2020 will be looked back on in a very positive light when the world is inevitably crumbling due to climate inaction in 20 years
     
  13. Greta's message is kinda like that movie The Whale... incredibly powerful and something that I really appreciated in the moment, but not something I want to return to a lot because it requires a specific mindset

    Would've been an incredible 7-inch double single The 1975/People

    It's official, About You, is now my favorite The 1975 song.

    that is all.

    I'll write you into all of my songs Supporter

    I’m kind of plateauing with the album so far, but that is absolutely NOT going to be the case once I hear this beast live

    It’s been out barely over a week so of course I still love it and listen to it all day every day

    I feel like if you never struggled with drugs or booze, you probably won't understand that song until someone points it out to you.

    but that's kinda hilarious :crylaugh:

    I feel like you have to not know anything about Matty to not know that. At the very least bing it with google before you get the tattoo.

    Who cares. I hear artists say all the time they know lyrics can take on meaning for fans outside of what they originally intended.

    Yeah I mean the lyrics can mean whatever they want to the person that got them. I just don’t know how as a fan of the band you didn’t understand what Matty was referencing.
