the 1975

if i b e l i e e e v e you

will that make it S T O P

the literal asphyxiation and paralysis of a select few internet music fans is on hold, at least

lj i predict you will like this record despite yourself

lol I do rly want to hear it, just mildly joshing nourry and uberweiss' post-brad house style

Really glad to see you saying that, Dorian! (I'm listening to it for the first time in a few weeks right now).

you were coming across as clever
then you lit the wrong end of your cigarette

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson),

this happened to me sometime in December

i'll quote on the road like a twat
and wind my way out of the city
finding a girl who is equally pretty won't be hard
i just had a change of heart

"i'll quote on the road like a twat"

I don't know the song and i already love this lyric so much. 'Cause 'on the road'... Ugh

A change of heart - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03kcc0d

sounds like a Frances and the Lights joint

Francis and the Lights

trying to will this album to leak

just wanna talk about it with y'all already

oh good it's getting better reviews than i expected http://www.spin.com/2016/02/review-the-1975-i-like-it-when-you-sleep-for-you-are-so-beautiful-yet-so-unaware-of-it/

that's winston c-w tho, he's unknowningly absorbed into the ilx mindmeld

also spin ran a big story with them with good access so duh

oh i'm aware of both of those things. still wasn't expecting this kind of reception

i wouldn't get used to it

lol excellent

deej what happened to your poker face

stereogum put a thing up which doesn't say much other than "lol they sound like a lot of different things, but it all kind of works"

stereogum seem really enthusiastic about it but the review spends too much time unsuccessfully trying to defend it to their readers

the comments are hilarious

do any of them pick on Healy's hair? That's what it matters.

lol those comments. and so many of them

they're really easy to hate

The 1975 or Stereogum comments?

thanks for stealing my joke

theyre in that zone that counting crows and 3rd eye blind sit for me. so much hate for them but idc and really i've no desire to go to bat for them.

makes the hate even more fun to read

counting crows!! how dare you

Well I have often thought they would pull off a good cover of Round Here.

yessss

"Mr Jones" performed as if it's secretly Simply Red's "It's Only Love (Valentine Remix)".

(Simply Red are one of the few remaining useful reference points that doesn't seem to come up in respect of this band)

The way Breihan describes them at Stereogum makes me think of Franz Ferdinand (who I liked for their first 3 albums). And I liked the debut, so I'll definitely check this out.

this finally leaked fyi

HELL YEAH

WHAAAAAA

i mean it sucks that it leaked but it's only two days out and it's AMAZING

I NEED THIS ALBUMMMMMMM

check reddit

oh man A Change of Heart sounds even better than the radio rip I love how detailed this is

the link on the reddit post has been removed :'(

omg someone send me a link seriously i'm dying here

wow i just realized two things
a. i haven't used ilx in forever
b. i was a prick when i came up with this username

guess today was a day to test my ilx webmail

Me2 please brad!

not that i did or anything

omg She's American is an idealised version of the first album it's fantastic. the sax solo is different to the live version though weird. I Believe You really does sound like D'Angelo it's gorgeous
