omg She's American is an idealised version of the first album it's fantastic. the sax solo is different to the live version though weird. I Believe You really does sound like D'Angelo it's gorgeous

lol sorry i love so many parts of this record
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 06:40 (eight years ago) link
they don't really resemble each other musically but i've been thinking of it in conjunction with the paramore s/t both in terms of length and of feeling a group really expand their dimensions
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 06:45 (eight years ago) link
Please Be Naked through to The Ballad of Me And My Brain wow this is so expansive & there's nothing close to a dud so far.
Pressure on the debut kinda reminded me of the Paramore s/t
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 06:48 (eight years ago) link
very excited for everybody to hear the stretch of please be naked -> title track, world contracting into a single molecule vibes

Wiiiiiiiieww "Lostmyhead". My Bloody Valentine who?
― art baengels (monotony), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:34 (eight years ago) link
where is this? this is probably the hardest leak I've faced. so to speak.
― Nourry, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:56 (eight years ago) link
this album has been such a rollercoaster and there are still like 5 songs to go. Like what even happened there with about 90 seconds to go in the title track?
― art baengels (monotony), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 12:58 (eight years ago) link
seems like it goes a bit Sheeran for the last few tracks :|

i am not!
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:08 (eight years ago) link
btw I get this but they're among the two most devastating tracks on the record subject matter-wise
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:15 (eight years ago) link
God almighty the studio version of "She's American". Absolutely glorious. Everything I hoped for. Had to close the door to my room so my roommate wouldn't see me dancing like a maniac
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:36 (eight years ago) link
My thought process after first listen: "people are being silly, there aren't that many curveballs on this...just the ambient instrumental, and the shoegaze one, and the electro-D'angelo one, and the acoustic stuff...oh, wait."
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link
If I have a criticism it's that a few more songs could stand to be trimmed down to "Ugh!" / "Ballad of Me and My Brain" length.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 16:46 (eight years ago) link
damn, just listened 'if i believe you' and i'm torn apart.

As far as I can tell, he was testing his ILX webmail and someone thanked him for doing so.

lol thanks turrican
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
i look forward to you hating this record
i have absolutely no idea how to approach this myself
i think if anything i'm expecting to like it quite a bit, which opens up the danger of being disappointed....by the 1975. weird times
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
it's full of curveballs, i expect you'll appreciate that aspect of it
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
i'm excited less by that and more by how intensely-realised everyone says it is
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:43 (eight years ago) link
yeah every style they approach is conveyed as a gorgeous mesh polygon and then arranged somehow into a coherent hour-long narrative. lol obviously i haven't really listened to anything else in the past week

It's often easy to forget right now just how much of a joke the music and fashions of the '80s used to be considered to be. There were some exceptions: The Smiths being one, R.E.M. being another - but on the whole, the '80s was considered to be, at one point, a very naff decade. It was therefore of some delight when some of my favourite synthpop artists from the period found themselves being critically re-appreciated and being listened to, at long last, without prejudice. Finally, the unfairly maligned '80s were being reassessed and about time, people were discovering that it wasn't all bad and they were taking from the best of the decade, and they were leaving the absolute garbage, like yer Level 42's etc., to be forgotten about...
...until I inadvertently heard 'Love Me' and realised The 1975 had managed to synthesise everything that was so wretched and thoroughly shit about 1986-1987 and squeeze it into one three and a half minute long turd. Well, I guess someone had to do it. It's very much a given at this stage that I will never intentionally listen to anything by this thoroughly fucking crap band.

the absolute garbage, like yer Level 42's etc.
lol everytime you post in this thread it's like a whole new dimension of "wow this isn't for you at all" is opened
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:19 (eight years ago) link
Oh, come on! Level 42 weren't ever good! Fucking ponytail & filofax music.

My god this album.
The title track should be the centrepiece track on any future 'Immer 4'.
