the 1975

I’d have to think of a top ten but a top 3 is

Change of Heart
Give Yourself a Try (weirdly maybe i think this is the best of the new songs)
Chocolate

need your other 7 deejus

I'm going crazy anticipating this album

same. need this record more than ever.

WHERE YOUR ASS WAS AT, DOG, WHEN N***** TRIED TO RUN OFF?
WHERE YOUR ASS WAS AT, DOG? YOU MADE ME PULL THIS GUN OUT
WHERE YOUR ASS WAS AT, DOG, WHEN I WAS IN THE PYREX?
WHERE YOUR ASS WAS AT, DOG, WHEN I WAS DRINKING HI-TECH?

what

madness is a good song

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.

great video

great vid

why would you believe
you could control how you're perceived
when at your best you're intermediately
 versed in your own feelings?

fuck

thanks for the heads up

GO DOWN
SOFT SOUND

tickets went on sale for their gig here (super excited to see them again!) right as i started listening to it. new version of the 1975 is great

oh shit wait til y'all hear "petrichor"

it owns! love that they jump into ILWYS title track territory almost straight away on this album

"be my mistake" has the sort of arrangement i sorta wish radiohead had gone with for "true love waits"

there's so many things i have to say about this album i'm still just so happy someone finally had the sense to merge d'angelo and m83 (or, rather, bring the jazz element back into new pop revivalism)

as of "i like america & america likes me" i am completely overwhelmed

it's like "the ballad of me and my brain" had a nervous breakdown

they really straight up did their own Fitter Happier lmao

*hears opening chords of "inside your mind"* *every lighter in the arena ignites*

wonder if the "Love Theme" part of that track title is a reference to Vangelis

wowwww "I Couldn't Be In Love" is such an instantly great soul ballad

what even is this album

like... "mine"?????????

"mine" is so gorgeous

some X&Y vibes going on in here too, which i'm not complaining about at all

wowwww "I Couldn't Be In Love" is such an instantly great soul ballad

uh yeah it really is

well i immediately burst into tears at the chorus of "i always wanna die (sometimes)"

fuck

album of the year

it sounds like bends-era radiohead? i love it

this is such a perfect bombastic closer

that's the one where i thought X&Y! so mid-00s tv soundtrack-ish, my fucking heart
