the 1975

Is it just me or is this giving Beyoncé's sandcastles vibes?

Someone went an ranked every single song released to date and because I could possibly do this myself:

https://www.gigwise.com/features/3427219/every-the-1975-song-ranked-from-worst-to-best

ok that list is immediately terrible because "pressure" is the best track on the debut, wtf

god that is a chaotic list

"part of the band" live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2jdDSR4M_Q

new arrangement of "tootimetootimetootime" where they're playing it all live with sax everywhere without the sampled loops of the studio version

just got my ticket to see them for the third time. matty indicated they're playing the new album in full on tour but i hope there's lots of stuff from notes on the setlist since they never got to tour that

covid wiping out the notes tour was personally disastrous

the tour i wanna see is that album in full w/ some other songs sprinkled in

i wouldn't really want them to do all of notes, it's too messy

would love all of i like it when you sleep though, especially since they didn't play here on the proper tour for it so i haven't seen many deeper cuts from it live

I don't know how "tootime" sounded on the tour for that album, but that new live version is dope

matty coming soon on chicken shop date!

oh "the 1975" is an actual song this time

that's going to be so confusing lol

definitely the best "the 1975" though

this is their most sophisti-pop album easily

pretty solid overall, maybe their second-best front-to-back even if it doesn't quite reach the same highs as some of their other albums. only "part of the band" really blew me away like they have at their best but "oh caroline" is really good too. "i'm in love with you" & "all i need to hear" were really boring single choices, i was worried the album would be dull but it's pretty good after all

reichian piano phases running throughout “the 1975” [heart eyes emoji]

i feel like the reference point was just "all my friends" but i'll take it

ohhhh myyy fuckkiiing godddd @ "looking for somebody (to love)"

it's totally both

i like it a lot more than the last time they were inspired by "all my friends" (the direct melodic quote at the start of "sex" that's just annoying in how direct it is)

omigod "I'm In Love with You" sounds like Lou Reed's "Dirty Blvd."

i feel like i'm on drugs (uppers only) listening to this

wait is this out?

it's shall we say available

ahh

"about you" is very special

i don't even know where to look anymore. is the pirate bay still a thing?

Seek your Soul

It's out at midnight, I can wait.

omg, 'when we are together'

ohhhh myyy fuckkiiing godddd @ "looking for somebody (to love)"

+1

antonoff should make an album with swift that sounds like this

it's also like, the album antonoff has been trying to make his whole career lol

this record is great but it is quite weird to hear them play it straight (i.e. 11 songs, all "songs," no instrumentals, no electronic stuff, no real genre hopping)

there's still a fair amount of variety within the bounds they set for themselves

live debuts of "roadkill", "oh caroline", and "looking for somebody (to love)"

"Looking For Somebody" and the last two songs are all-timers

Out in the US even tho it's only 9 PM in Anaheim.

Looking for Somebody trades It’s Not Living’s smack for guns huh. what a smash

I'm only up to "Wintering" and I love this album. such lightness and space and joy in these songs, and hasn't really deviated from that sound yet. surprising how focused this album is given how sprawling the last several albums have been, but it's so cool to hear them go this way

yep, they stuck with that sound till the end, with a lot of variation within it. gorgeous amazing album, don't know how this band has kept up this level of consistency for a decade. is that FKA twigs again on "About You"? really lovely section

it's Adam Hann's wife, Carly Holt

i don't like how they're just strumming the chorus of "part of the band" live instead of the fingerpicking on the studio version

my least favourite on the album is definitely "all i need to hear" which isn't even bad but they've done that exact song better a number of times before now - it has nothing on "if i believe you" for example.

"about you" is so good though, it's like someone introduced the blue nile to the ideas of shoegaze and saxophones

first impresh but this is my fav thing they've done since 'i like it when you sleep'. i know yall love the sprawling albums with all the interludes but i feel like i'm gonna get so much play out of this

yeah i agree, but iliwys was also sprawling with a bunch of interludes, it was just the best at it

a brief enquiry was basically just iliwys2 except somehow less consistent despite being shorter, and notes was an incoherent mess that nonetheless contained a whole lot of brilliance

this is the closest to all-killer-no-filler they've come

so far up to 'all i need to hear' which is definitely the worst track so far, along with 'part of the band', which cmon we don't need extra reminders who produced this
