"i always wanna die sometimes" is the most beautiful and sad and real song ever?
― Nourry, Monday, 26 November 2018 10:31 (five years ago) link
wonder if I'd like this more than the last one
n.b. i liked the last one mostly as it was so mad and sprawling
― imago, Monday, 26 November 2018 10:34 (five years ago) link
this one's madder and even broader in sound, though it doesn't really have the same sort of arc to it that ILWYS did

they just did a great cover of "thank u, next" on the radio 1 live lounge but it was very weird to hear someone else sing ariana's very personal lyrics

the brand is strongI'm honestly not sure how to feel about the suicidal ideation power ballad

Okay listening to this now and uh..... holy shit @ "Petrichor".

it's a good Radiohead track!

Keep Desus & Mero out of this

I know it's corny as shit, but I feel like crying so much during 'the man who married a robot'.

ftr I have never watched Desus & Mero?
"Mine" seems to be pretty handily the best of the many ballads
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 13:18 (five years ago) link
the sequencing was pretty perfect on ILIWYS but it's a lot messier here
― ufo, Monday, 26 November 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link
tbf tho I think this is a much trickier batch of songs to sequence

the first few times i listened to this i was kinda taken aback by how... soft the album is outside of the songs already released (+ i always wanna die). but it’s musically accomplished in a way i still didn’t expect from them for some reason.

I'm hoping I wind up responding to this one like I did the last one but I'm having....some problems with it. I'll keep those to myself for a bit so we can all bask in glee
that Grande cover IS amazing

I've the same cavils, Simon.

i'm still wrapping my head around it but: at the moment the range bugs me a little, it's almost too varied and very difficult to settle into. "be my mistake" is a very lovely song, i prefer it to the previous spare acoustic 1975 tracks a la "she lays down," but uh i have to tune out the lyrics a little
however "inside your mind" to the end is a remarkable run of songs
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
weirdly "tootime" is now one of my absolute favorite 1975 songs
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2018 18:59 (five years ago) link
the stylistic range is admirable, just wish there was a little more tempo/dynamic range. maybe they're saving it for Gravity's Rainbow or whatever the followup is going to be called
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 26 November 2018 19:08 (five years ago) link
i found it a pretty bewildering album at first... i think there's something meta about the way the album is structured, there's a lot of sparseness in between big dopamine spikes and they perhaps naturally put out the latter songs as singles. the middle section -- from be my mistake to inside your mind -- feels a little soft i think but the album closes really strongly.
it sorta orients itself in your brain over time & i think the album makes sense in light of matty's comments about it being his "sincere" album... frankly it doesn't rly come thru to me lyrically ("sincerity is scary" is still pretty acidic) but it does to me insofar as the big thing w/ this album compared to their others is that there's such a strong emphasis on his vocals. there's lots of interplay b/w vocal manipulation (most of which is really cool to hear) and then something like "mine" which really centers him as a vocalist in a very traditionalist sense.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
imo "be my mistake" -> "sincerity" & even more so "inside your mind" -> "it's not living" are perfect juxtapositions
― lowercase (eric), Monday, 26 November 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
idk these guys have always coded as bros with an unusually deep grasp of the limitations of rock instruments, therefore they use their programmed instruments as prisms through which Healy refracts his asshole tendencies. I can understand why they disgust a lot of listeners, especially female listeners.

these two points do not quite live in harmony!

matty doesn't really come off like an asshole on this record to me, "sincerity is scary" is acidic sure but more equivocal and self-critical than was even implied in "change of heart" (he spends almost the entire first verse giving himself shit over his own lyrics and heroin addiction). the worst he comes off is "be my mistake" which sure is a gentle acoustic ballad about cheating, and even then i just can't really deal with the "hair/feet" line my goodness

“Give Yourself a Try” is a reference to “Disorder” by Joy Division. We’re from the same town as Joy Division. I’m from the same road. Being in Macclesfield, [England] you can’t escape the weight of Joy Division, especially if you’re a band.
suspected this was the case
