the 1975

melody is similar to 'heaven is a place on earth'

this is the heroin song i guess

Speaking as someone who's been clean for 11 years as of this month, "Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes" is one of the most poignant lines about heroin addition that I've ever heard in song. That line would be notable on a solemn, sad, druggy album by a band like Spiritualized, for example. But dropping it into the chorus of such an incredibly hooky '80s pop/rock song feels like a stroke of genius.

lol if this is basically the "this must be my dream" of this album it's going to be the best album ever.

this band is just too much for me to handle.

welcome back stephen

i can't get over the fact that the singer in this band is the son of a "loose women" woman (also the winner of a celebirty big brother) and the guy from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

i love my favorite band so much

yes!

need to think a bit before filling out a top 10 though.

"Me" is still the best song ever for staring out at a city at night from a hotel room on a high floor while jetlagged.

what

madness is a good song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LgLcDg15SM

this song is something else

:D perfect thread for this

I listened to Simulation Theory in full today, it's obviously shit but it's a massive improvement over the previous three and I'm not sure why

I think maybe it embraces the glory of high-budget shitness better than the others

I got a ticket to the Vancouver show.

same

Shit I need to pick one up too

NEED NEW ALBUM

give me this album

they just announced a September tour here so I'm super excited, only saw them on the pre-ILWYS tour last album cycle

this album can't come soon enough

the NME gave it 5 stars and called Matty and George "the closest thing we have to a present-day Lennon and McCartney" lol

that nme review was incredible garbage

Lol it has a 99 on metacritic so far

(With four reviews, sure, but it’s still a great sight)

xpost “beautifulgarbage”, more like

this review seems a press release.

but I NEED THIS ALBUM IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
