The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 343

“paris” does not sound like “every breath you take.” it’s a deliberate flip of “only you” by yaz. it is also still the best 1975 song

 

“a change of heart” also reminds me way more of something like “say hello wave goodbye” by soft cell

 

It's weird you say that cause A Change of Heart always reminds me of Only You. That extended synth part feels like a reference to it.

 

My favorite run on the album was Nothing Revealed to If You’re Too Shy, really great stuff

 

I feel this way but I Am Easy To Find

 

The reason I learned to like Paris is cause one day I wasn’t paying attention I thought I was vibing to only you lol

 

I completely agree. Antichrist is def still the best 1975 song. Solid point.

 

Paris is their best song.

I think Jesus Christ - Roadkill - M&YTS is a) my favorite run on this at the moment and b) surprising for me personally cuz I never thought I’d like a song like Roadkill as much as I do

 

Paris is an astoundingly great song.

This band have wrote a lot of absolute bangers, but in terms of more laid back songs, Robbers, Paris and Guys blow most bands attempts out of the water for me

 

Sometimes when I get bored my favorite thing to do is state opinions as fact on message boards. Clearly we are already doing that so...give me a minute lol

 

Paris is...NOT their best song! Muahaha

 

Love Paris, but their best song is Somebody Else, both from a songwriting perspective and cultural cachet

EDIT: Idk they have so many good songs, it's impossible to pick a best, right? Right?!

 

They've got like 20 best songs.

 

Their best song is "Settle Down"

 

A lot of kids I go to school with and friends aren't loving this record. I don't this album is as easy to digest for the casual 1975 fan as ILIWYS or ABIIOR might have been.

 

Nah it's a weird, long, country/garage fusion record. I'd be surprised if everyone was on board with it.

 

Oh yeah like I said my fiancé and her mom are totally OUT on this record. My brother, a casual fan of select big tracks, said that he doesn’t like listening to them because they lack a true identity lol

 

“Tonight” is my favorite thing here.

 

Yeah, I honestly wonder if things were normal and this had come out when I would still be in school if I would have liked it as much, at least this instantly. Everything this band does eventually grows on me.

 

Paris is at least a top 3 1975 song for me. I know a couple people compared the lyrics of The Birthday Party to Paris when it came out, I think Playing On My Mind might come even closer to recreating the type of wordplay and brutal honesty from Paris in my opinion (even if they're musically very different)

 

For the better if you ask me. This is a deep dive and I love it.

 

Paris is the only song on ILIWYS that I’m really not that big on. No real issue with it, just never clicked. Appreciate it’s place on the record though, absolutely contributes to the flow

 

Feel you there bud

 

I may have missed it, but was the interview that revealed the next album title released today?

 

wait, was that supposed to happen?
