was about to say!!

matty’s taste is impeccable man

omg this is incredible, when it explodes halfway through the second chorus is one of their best moments ever

This is the best song I have ever heard.

THE WAR HAS BEEN INCITED AND GUESS WHAT? YOU’RE ALL INVITED

now i want to tattoo 'poison me daddy'.
what a song.

Thank you so much, love you guys. I am very excited about releasing the 13 other songs

15 track album then

Excellent song, bites "Downtown Lights" in the best way

i am bowled over by this song.

continuum of this song is "the downtown lights" -> fictional jam & lewis remix of "the downtown lights"

It's a bit like Don't Delete The Kisses.

omg so good

i just re-read this thread and it might be the last great ILM thread

We are moving to Los Angeles in 2 weeks to start making 'Notes On a Conditional Form'. By the time we play our first show in January there will be two whole The 1975 albums that will have never been played before. I'm very excited. I bet you still ask for fucking Antichrist tho

poison me daddy

it's more than 4 minutes but feels so short!

it is its own thing obv but feels like PiL covering Scritti produced by Air France woohoo

is it just me that also feels that this may be one of the most fall out boy song of them?

oh so now p4k is coming around on them

man they always go for the most sincere interpretation huh

(not say the song's insincere but...)

I only heard it once and I still have it stuck in my head five days later.

I'm going to hold off listening to this until the album comes out, but after their second LP won me over I'm very much looking forward to hearing it. Interview has reminded me that I still find Healy insufferable.

actively anxious over what ~creative choices~ theyll be taking in the inevitable music video for this song

What an incredible single! I thought Give Yourself A Try was just good enough, but I am blown away by this one. I definitely don't mind the nod to The Downtown Lights one bit.

so confession time, I had been kind of self-fronting on the first album for a really long time, telling myself it wasn't really near the level of the second one, but over the past week I've been playing it all the time and it's finally opening itself up for me. "heart out" --> "settle down" --> "robbers" ranks up their with any of their runs

I don't think the first album is anywhere near as good as the second. There's a couple of decent songs on there ('The City', 'Robbers') but Healy's vocals on things like 'Chocolate' remind me why I loathed this band for years.

'chocolate' is like the best song

"Never goh-na quit it noh we never goh-na quit it noh we never goh-na quit noh we nev..." *slap!*

'chocolate' is like the best song

otm

give it time, turry

No Kevin, the guy who spent years cluttering this thread with repetitive denunciations of this band as the absolute worst thing to happen to recorded music is clearly best placed to now review its discography and sort the wheat from the chaff.

tim, the 1975 is for everyone

I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — AND I WILL BE HEARD.

denunciations of this band as the absolute worst thing to happen to recorded music

It wasn't a difficult conclusion to reach based on some of the horrors that are on that first album, particularly when combined with some horrific nails-on-chalkboard vocals and Healy's insufferable personality. That he's blatantly a spoiled brat that had closer connections in the industry than most (let's not pretend he didn't) and has wealthy parents could afford to indulge him are nothing less than facts.

Thankfully, the music and the singing got better on the second album, which is a genuinely great record - at this point maybe even one of the best of the decade, so I clearly can separate the art from the artist if the music is strong enough.
