I'm not mad about The Sound. But, seriously, wait till you hear The Ballad of Me and Brain, If I Believe You, Paris … Be interesting to see what you all make of She Lays Down, which is a one-take acoustic guitar ballad, that sounds not unlike Big Star. When I first heard it, Matthew was planning to gussy it up, add an extra verse, rerecord it, but everyone in the room – manager, producer, publicist, me – was saying JUST LEAVE IT! DON'T TOUCH IT! It's beautiful. Sorry for being an in-the-know wanker, but I've known these songs now for months and been unable to talk about them to anyone …

matt healy has this great ability to sum up my life in three minutes songs. i can't deal with it.
and the solo is just <3

the studio version is on spotify ... the way that this is kinda like hyperspeed house kinda reminds me of like a dj mustard beat

i love the lyrics so much

The guitar solo is so "Digital Love", I love it.
― Tim F, Friday, 15 January 2016 19:55 (eight years ago) link
yeah it all feels pretty daft punk, which is not the vibe i got from the live videos. imo it also sounds like "call me maybe"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 15 January 2016 20:09 (eight years ago) link
basically it was built for me to obsess over
The guitar solo kept reminding me of a cross between the one from Digital Love and the guitar solo from Andrew Gold's Lonely Boy.

really "the sound" is an 80s prom slow dance song in EDM festival form

idk to me it mostly sounds like passion pit with a recording budget

SNL on feb. 6 with larry david :-p
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 24 January 2016 22:21 (eight years ago) link
early reports from ppl who have heard the promo suggest it is "moody" "mellow" and "atmospheric"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 02:18 (eight years ago) link
sounds great
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 January 2016 02:18 (eight years ago) link
agreed
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 02:29 (eight years ago) link
c'mon, dont't tease me more, I'm so anxious... there's no band nowadays that replicate the best the person that I am and my tastes. ugh
― Nourry, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 03:00 (eight years ago) link
that's excellent news
seeing them live confirmed that The Sound is definitely their best song so far
― ufo, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 03:29 (eight years ago) link
I'm so ready for the new album.

I heard "Love Me" on the radio the other day and it sounded good on the radio.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 21:32 (eight years ago) link
I suspect it will be something of an anomaly on the album. In a lot of ways it 's a gesture-song.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 21:38 (eight years ago) link

omg the snl performance
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 7 February 2016 09:03 (eight years ago) link
i died
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 February 2016 09:29 (eight years ago) link
I liked their performance but they were definite victims of SNL sound. Could barely even hear the singing at times
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Sunday, 7 February 2016 16:29 (eight years ago) link
im mad they didn't play "ugh"
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 7 February 2016 18:37 (eight years ago) link
i didnt get to watch the whole show did they only do the one song?
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 February 2016 18:41 (eight years ago) link
they haven't been playing "ugh" live at all so i wasn't surprised. they played "the sound" and "love me"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 7 February 2016 18:50 (eight years ago) link
they said they haven't rehearsed Ugh enough yet but I expect they'll start playing it once the album comes out
― ufo, Sunday, 7 February 2016 18:53 (eight years ago) link
also "love me" and "the sound" are way bigger hits so i wasn't exactly surprised
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 7 February 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link
Lead singer annoying on SNL, and whole thing sounded a little meh, but TV sound not reliable, and I'll check the alb because of this thread (thanks, I hope)
― dow, Sunday, 7 February 2016 19:31 (eight years ago) link
The performance of 'the sound' is probably the best thing I've seen in my life.
― Nourry, Sunday, 7 February 2016 20:26 (eight years ago) link
I think Matt could tone down on the mugging just a bit. I mean I know half of his lyrics are having a dig at himself but I think eventually it starts to undercut the emotional force of the songs. He should save it for key jokes. "You're so conceited! I said I loved you! What does it matter if I lied to you?" would be funnier if he delivered it like it wasn't funny.
― Tim F, Sunday, 7 February 2016 20:41 (eight years ago) link
I was also disappointed at first that they didn't do "UGH!" but it's probably better that such a perfect song isn't sullied by SNL's awful sound
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Sunday, 7 February 2016 20:47 (eight years ago) link
i sort of agree but he also reminds me of me at karaoke
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 7 February 2016 22:40 (eight years ago) link
he's doing a permanent super-drunk-young-mick-jagger & I'm totally ok with it
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 February 2016 23:02 (eight years ago) link
studio version of "somebody else" may or may not come out this week
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Monday, 8 February 2016 14:41 (eight years ago) link
(Healy has gotten very into Connecticut-formed post-rock collective the World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die recently: “They’ve got the best name ever.”)
lol of course

also: Where gauzy, instrumental dream-pop made up a couple of interludes on the debut, it encompasses entire bends of the 1975’s new record.
