re: "me"
The idea for ‘don’t you mind’ came quite naturally. I was i the process of writing this song and i found myself listening to that 10cc record ‘I’m not in love’. In that song the words ‘I’m not in love’ are used so frequently; as such a statement, that by the last chorus you think ‘….this guy is really in love’.

Funny how whether or not a band could have played the Bronze is an instantly recognizable descriptor. (Although it also makes me feel a bit old).
― MikoMcha, Monday, 8 July 2013 07:47 (ten years ago) link
haha at least by understanding you make me feel less simultaneously old/weird

btw they totally rerecorded "sex" for the album
https://soundcloud.com/the1975/the-1975-sex

Bout what you'd expect with a song like that I guess.

I struggle to imagine how "Sex" could possibly be improved on.
Kinda ridiculous how emotional I feel about these songs now.

It also occurs to me that this band could have played every night at The Bronze and handily catered to any and every mood required by the narrative.

ok i am listening to them now
― k3vin k., Saturday, 27 July 2013 17:40 (ten years ago) link
wow, "sex" is the shit
don't hear a ton of 3EB (whom i love) in them, but agree with ned on the shoegaze touchpoints. this is going to sound lame but the first thing i thought of was actually...glasvegas
― k3vin k., Saturday, 27 July 2013 18:07 (ten years ago) link
Wow not sure how you can't hear some 3eb in there!

He may not have gotten to "Chocolate" or "The City" yet.
― Tim F, Saturday, 27 July 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link
is "this is how it starts" an explicit ref. to LCD's "all my friends"?
i think this is merely okay. maybe it will click. i have terrible taste now "anyway!"

can confirm the guitars on this thing sound perfectly '80s sophistopop

this is a truly beautiful record that threads together most of the kinds of music i love

knowing that both tim f and brad are already holding this record up like a high school football hero has increased my anticipation by 1000x

If lies are being told about this record's quality I will have things to say.

ned i think you'll straight up love it
sorry for not being able to contain my enthusiasm for another month

V. good.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 03:25 (ten years ago) link
of all the singles the album is very much in the vein of "chocolate" so if you like that

aaaaah i can't wait until y'all hear "settle down" aaaaah

recent "acoustic" sessions have been gorgeous near-total reworkings of the songs

hahaha idk it reminded me of this, probably my favorite song off the facedown ep

my favorite version of sex, is the one with your mom

the guitars are nice but why is he singing it like that!
― max, Monday, 12 August 2013 17:29 (ten years ago) link
lmbo kev
ha but no i agree the acoustic version is kinda worthless, the orig is pretty perfect
― k3vin k., Monday, 12 August 2013 17:30 (ten years ago) link
ahaha i'm probably just desperate for them to release something from the album proper already
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 12 August 2013 17:34 (ten years ago) link
Is their any thing on the album that shows their more ambient side like from the EP's or is everything more in line as to what the main singles are like?
― MarkoP, Monday, 12 August 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
it's more in line with the singles except for "the 1975," "money," "an encounter," "12," and "menswear." most of these are really short
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 12 August 2013 17:41 (ten years ago) link
They should do a bonus disc of straight Wham!bience.

Besides the occasional Snow Patrol vibe that I'm a bit unsure about, I'm enjoying these EPs.

Not really paid much attention to the EPs, so must revisit. Just been listening to the album and some of it's brilliant – some really sharp lyrics in there. I prefer the choons to the ambient ones, but maybe I'd feel different if I'd listened to them earlier.
