Y'know, for all of the use of autotune as effect on this album, I feel that the record also contains some of Healy's best singing, particularly on the ballads/slower tracks: 'Inside Your Mind', 'Surrounded by Heads and Bodies' and particularly 'I Couldn't Be More in Love' ... I know that there's been some criticism about the number of ballads on this new one upthread, but I genuinely believe that many of the ballads are highlights.
Having said that, if I was asked to pick favourites from this album, I'd probably near enough name the whole album as this point.

Another thing I'm beginning to appreciate about this band is the way they place some of their older musical ideas in new contexts. It's not just that they have a different version of their "theme tune" on each album, it's the way 'Lostmyhead' is an extension of 'Facedown', or the way 'How to Draw' is treated in comparison to the earlier piano-led version. I suppose the similarity between 'Settle Down' and 'She's American' was intentional, too.

Surrounded by heads and bodies is only me and Ross. Ross played bass. I played everything else. George and Hann produced it. And this is the only song where George sings a line #abiior— matty (@Truman_Black) December 1, 2018

I don't know if it's my song of the year, but it's one of them. I actually like it far more than the song it's obviously influenced by. Have you seen any of the live footage of it yet? It gets the crowd really fucking amped.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 2 December 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link
Agree there are too many ballads, agree ballads are the best part. Also think the album's great strength is that it is explicitly about heroin, which is sort of a shift from the expected coy shit a la, say, Jason Pierce.

― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:07 (five years ago) link
It's a great song. That and 'Antichrist' would be two easy picks for me to put on a personal best of.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
I've got to admit that this new album was kind of a tough nut to crack, but I put it on when I went for a run this morning and it finally clicked. Not that it's particularly good music to run to, but it really did make me pay attention to the fine balancing act he is doing. It's a particularly compelling juxtaposition that he does not seem like some navel-gazing sad sack, just kind of compulsively transparent, or at least the character he thinks he is playing is.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
I'm actually really glad that I waited until the album was released to hear the likes of 'Love It If We Made It' and 'TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME', because I just know I would have played those songs into the ground by now.

Trying to decide whether “I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)” is more like Geneva’s “Tranquilizer” or Puressence’s “This Feeling”.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 December 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
It's kinda amazing to me that they didn't end an album with anything as big and epic as 'I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)' until their third one. Their first two end in a far more low-key way.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 3 December 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
the way they've gone from really terrible music videos for the first album to some of the great ones they've done for the last two is such a turnaround
― ufo, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 03:27 (five years ago) link
I think "Tranquilizer"? Which I seem to have bought both CD singles of back in the day. “I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)” is a lot better than either though.
The first minute of "I Couldn't Be More In Love" (and to some extent the rest of the song) are very Provision-era Scritti Politti to me.

I think I have to come clean and admit this was never a metaphor. It's not about a girl. You know what it's about. And I've always felt weird about it. And I'm kind of sorry https://t.co/FQj88Z60nq via @YouTube— matty (@Truman_Black) December 3, 2018
I just think it's important to recognise 'Medicine' considering 'It's Not Living' and the two perspectives. It's a journey; and it happens. And you're wrong and you're right at the same time. I love you guys you make my life worth living— matty (@Truman_Black) December 3, 2018
And it makes me sad because I think Medicine is my favourite song and I don't know what that means— matty (@Truman_Black) December 3, 2018

i liked but didn't really *get* "medicine" until i saw it live, both times it was the best part of their set

OMG somehow I have forgotten about Medicine since it came out - I keep all the albums and EPs on my phone except this never made it. Can't believe I've haven't been playing next to me/fallingforyou etc these last few years.

This is great but 'The Man Who Married A Robot' is a cringe worthy OKC rip-off that should have been left off :(

The 1975 do not need *STATEMENT* songs or interludes ffs
agreed. this band (who I love) should hire me to edit down their tracklists and sequence their albums.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
I fully endorse them hiring you as tracklist trimmer.
Rest of the album is obv as expected, great. The closer, wow.

Listened twice to this one, it’s better than their last one but I still don’t get them. Even the Disorder hommage (?) makes me want to listen to Joy Division instead and god knows I hate that band.

I'm listening to this one and the audio has been good about halfway through. and agreed about those two songs in particular -- he really belts on "love it if we made it" in a way you don't see much from him

Nah, record is pretty cool, though I could certainly do without the post-Bon Iver "Earnest white man pants into vocoder" shtick and the "What if Kitty Pryde wrote Fitter Happier" interlude. And also, of course, the entire discourse around this record.
