:D perfect thread for this
I listened to Simulation Theory in full today, it's obviously shit but it's a massive improvement over the previous three and I'm not sure why

I think maybe it embraces the glory of high-budget shitness better than the others

I got a ticket to the Vancouver show.

the NME gave it 5 stars and called Matty and George "the closest thing we have to a present-day Lennon and McCartney" lol

that nme review was incredible garbage
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 21 November 2018 05:46 (five years ago) link
Lol it has a 99 on metacritic so far
(With four reviews, sure, but it’s still a great sight)

GO DOWNSOFT SOUND
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:04 (five years ago) link
tickets went on sale for their gig here (super excited to see them again!) right as i started listening to it. new version of the 1975 is great
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:07 (five years ago) link
oh shit wait til y'all hear "petrichor"
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:11 (five years ago) link
it owns! love that they jump into ILWYS title track territory almost straight away on this album
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:13 (five years ago) link
"be my mistake" has the sort of arrangement i sorta wish radiohead had gone with for "true love waits"
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:22 (five years ago) link
there's so many things i have to say about this album i'm still just so happy someone finally had the sense to merge d'angelo and m83 (or, rather, bring the jazz element back into new pop revivalism)
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:27 (five years ago) link
as of "i like america & america likes me" i am completely overwhelmed
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:28 (five years ago) link
it's like "the ballad of me and my brain" had a nervous breakdown
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:30 (five years ago) link
they really straight up did their own Fitter Happier lmao
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:31 (five years ago) link
*hears opening chords of "inside your mind"* *every lighter in the arena ignites*
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:34 (five years ago) link
wonder if the "Love Theme" part of that track title is a reference to Vangelis
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:34 (five years ago) link
wowwww "I Couldn't Be In Love" is such an instantly great soul ballad
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:39 (five years ago) link
what even is this album
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:45 (five years ago) link
like... "mine"?????????
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:46 (five years ago) link
"mine" is so gorgeous
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:48 (five years ago) link
some X&Y vibes going on in here too, which i'm not complaining about at all

uh yeah it really is
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 06:54 (five years ago) link
well i immediately burst into tears at the chorus of "i always wanna die (sometimes)"
album of the year
it sounds like bends-era radiohead? i love it
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:55 (five years ago) link
this is such a perfect bombastic closer
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 06:57 (five years ago) link
that's the one where i thought X&Y! so mid-00s tv soundtrack-ish, my fucking heart
― austinb, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:00 (five years ago) link
it also reminds me of Shouso Strip
finished the album and it really rules, not sure how it compares with ILWYS yet but certainly on a similar level. only thing is i never want to listen to "the man who married a robot" again lol
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:01 (five years ago) link
ugghhh I need to hear this
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 07:13 (five years ago) link
"i always wanna die sometimes" is one of those songs where you want the chorus to go a certain place and then it does and fireworks start shooting off in your head
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2018 07:34 (five years ago) link
where is everyone listening to this? i thought it wasn't out until the 30th?
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Monday, 26 November 2018 07:35 (five years ago) link
it also sounds really british to me which i think is cool
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2018 07:37 (five years ago) link
it leaked so nowhere that's legal
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 07:46 (five years ago) link
"i like america & america likes me" destroyed me.
