We're probably no more than 18 months out from everyone trying to sound like Jagged Little Pill so strap in.

Looking forward to lj's ringing endorsement.

I only hear the sheryl crow / mid 90s MOR influence on a few songs tbh

I can’t find credits for the album. I want to know if Thundercat is somehow involved in 3AM?
There’s a song title connection with him, sounds a bit like his style and the Haim sisters make a cameo on Dragonball Durag’s video.

fluttering G-funk (3am), homages to Walk on the Wild Side (Summer Girl) and Joni Mitchell at her most seething (Man from the Magazine, an acoustic riposte to a leering journalist), and Led Zep bounce (Up From a Dream).

yeah this is just as eclectic as the 1975 album, just less showy about it imo

is Another Try kinda calling back bits of Why by Carly Simon? that’s what i keep hearing. top track!

I can definitely hear it in the chorus drums.

it is flat-out ridiculous how good this record is. from “don’t wanna” thru “fubt” especially is just a blissed-out listening experience

said the same thing yesterday
Been listening to this all day and it's great.
So is "Man From the Magazine" more a Joni tribute than a Joni parody? It works as either.

Pretty much reeling from ths album, can't recall the last time a band had a massive quality leap from album 2 to 3. Felt choked at a couple of points; some stunning stuff.
― piscesx, Sunday, 28 June 2020 23:34 (three years ago) link
This album's vibe is being really openly taking chunks from songs they love — which is so much fun, it's like a greatest hits album.
There's a line in Summer Girl that's almost directly from People's Parties:
You're there when I close my eyes, so hard to reachYour smiles turn into crying, it's the same release
and
One minute she's so happyThen she's crying on someone's kneeSaying, laughing and cryingYou know it's the same release
Leaning On You is so Never Going Back Again, and Now I'm In It is so Savage Garden.

I can't remember anything at all about the second album.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 June 2020 13:46 (three years ago) link
I remember it being good/fine. What I unfortunately remember more is seeing them live a couple of times more, and what was once charming had shifted into shtick.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 29 June 2020 13:53 (three years ago) link
I liked the first one a lot, completely missed the second one and find this one nice so far although I'm a bit surprised by the rave reviews/comments. I don't hear anything fantastic (for now) after listening to the whole thing like 5 times over the weekend. Maybe it will grow on me later and become one of the seven wonders you all hear !

Yep that's my favourite track after a few listens. It's a really strong record all the way through though, even if you don't count the three bonus singles at the end it's still one of the year's best for me.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 29 June 2020 19:28 (three years ago) link
starting to really love this trend of bonus tracks as kind of a end credits/bonus victory lap thing on records

My favorite track is one of the bonus goodies.

this album is played 24/7 in my apartment. i can hear it blasting through my roommates headphones while she works right now

Yup. "Now I'm In It" is max Soto-ness.

"Now I'm In It" is still tops but "3AM" is the biggest revelation for me - doesn't come off as pastiche to me at all

that live performance of a couple of songs off the album upthread is such a joy to watch and listen. they are amazing.

This is so great. Had no idea until now that Cass McCombs played guitar on "The Steps" (and "Up From a Dream", for that matter).

definitely need to spend more time with this -- time that i'm eager to spend fortunately -- but this has several really great tracks
― dyl, Monday, 6 July 2020 01:33 (three years ago) link
"i know alone" is already probably by favorite roller-rink bass-pop track by a 'band' since the xx's "on hold," just really beautifully and sincerely done
― dyl, Monday, 6 July 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
My favorites so far are The Steps, Up From a Dream, Gasoline, and Another Try, but and the album ranges from great to at worst pretty good. It's fairly tightly focused sound-wise, but within that sound I love all the different textures and approaches they try.
