so uh i have this now, and i started crying at the intro lol

the envy... i can't really describe it

recorded version of "a change of heart" completely justifies me comparing it to "say hello wave goodbye" upthread

hm i wonder if this thread also features me freaking out when i got the stream of lp1

aaaaah i can't wait until y'all hear "settle down" aaaaah

yep

if "she's american" is "settle down pt. 2" the production goes harder

it's more dynamic, more of a nervous rush

omg i hate you brad

lol

i might stop there bc like every element of this record is a huge surprise and i'd like y'all to be as surprised as i am

meanwhile this album is ruining my life

this is ruining my life. i can't wait.

ok one thing i know blue nile and scritti politti were thrown around as referents from the beginning of this thread but they are REALLY embodied here, "please be naked" is like a lost hats instrumental

ok that's it i'm shutting up now

Braaaaaaaaaad.

you're welcome

i mean i don't want to overhype this or anything but this is above and beyond the debut in every considerable way, and it properly absorbs the eps into its texture

fucking fuck

that is a dream coming true

I recall a year ago, they said something about possibly sampling D'Angelo on the album. Is there any traces of that?

<spoiler> i mean "if i believe you" SOUNDS like d'angelo (w/ gospel choir) </spoiler>

Wow.

wow this is really good

^^^^^

i'm losing my mind

fucking hell

i typed all that stuff before i got to the title track, which

let me tell you this record is very special

it is also very very very very very very long

Braaaaaaaaaad.

just finished the album!

djlkakdkjflkj,malkjflkja;lj *sputters and dies*

it's an hour long, right? i expect that is worth it

This album is going to cause mass fatalities on ILX I fear.

"she's american" is basically the only song that resembles the debut, other than the few moments i'm reminded of "menswear"

other than the few moments i'm reminded of "menswear"

*promptly digs own grave and lies down in it*

that's been my emotional state all day

there was a party that you had to miss
because your friend kept cutting her wrists
hyperpoliticized sexual trysts
"oh i think my boyfriend is a nihilist"

stop, Brad. stop ;_;

:D

i mean cool if they go all gooey but i hope there some songs with big, prominent drums on this album as that was one of my favourite features of the first one (see: "the city", "talk", "heart out")

it is way less of a thing on this record (in fact you've prob heard most of the songs with enormous drums) but they're there on "she's american" and "the ballad of me & my brain"

Tango In The Night is a really big record for us as well, by Fleetwood Mac. That really inspired this record. Yeah, Scritti Polliti. Alexander O’Neal, funnily enough, was a big part of this record; we love that album Hearsay. Michael and Janet Jackson too.

ilm: the album

But what are his thoughts on Jute Gyte?

They were playing new 1975 video on big screen displays at target today

alright which one of you is secretly a member of The 1975

yeah that's like if you put alfred's brain into a robot and made it write an album

ilxbot 2016 it's aliiiiiiive

Off topic a bit, but just listened to M83's "Graveyard Girl" for the first time in probably a few years and noticed how strikingly similar the verses are to those in "Milk".

This is a great record and I hope it's huge.

so is this literally not gonna be made avail 4 streaming today bc if that's the case i'm gonna have to think of a plan b for my weekend

i don't think so (meaning i haven't heard anything). monday maybe?

lol or they could be perverse and not do an early stream at all
