the 1975

apparently the album ends with three v depressing songs too so it'll be a very isolated "up" moment

whewww "the sound" can like reaaaaally transform u in the right moment, the right moment being v off your face in a gay club.

I don't hold out much hope of this happening in gay clubs in Melbourne ;_;

yeah can someone please take me to that moment

lq live rip of "she's american" gets me so blissed out & lightheaded, i am not sure i can cope with a studio version hitting my ears, what genius came up with the idea to just remake "settle down" with basically no amendments

Ha same. I can already tell that it will be a highlight for me. Does sound like a total rewrite of "Settle Down" but that song is probably top 5 songs of this decade for me so I'll take anything that prolongs the magic

the bridge + sax interlude in she's american really lift it above settle down imo

my heart just stopped

after listening to "somebody else" like this band is going to fucking kill me

oh my fucking god

where is it? where??? omg

ok, just found the link. i. can't.

get someone you love
get someone you need
FUCK THAT GET MONEY

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else

this is just too much for me to handle right now.

I'M SO LIGHTHEADEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i just can't stop listening to it. fuck you matty. if you play this in july i think i will literally die in the middle of the crowd. i apologize for all this madness.

i can't give you my soul 'cause we're never alone

ugh when can i listen to the unedited version minus zane lowe

oh, tonight apparently

this is so good and it's just the radio edit!

this album seems like it's going to be such an enormous step above their debut and it's not like the debut was bad

Wow Matty is going low on that chorus - audio manipulation or his singing voice? Sounds like a different band almost, until the second verse, when it gets more first album-y. Great song!

the lowest matty's gone range-wise is the verses of "antichrist" which is even lower than on this song. it's def manipulated here though, especially on the bridge

Oh yeah, forgot "Antichrist". That's another track where they sound like a different band to me, maybe Interpol *ducks*, before Matty takes it up an octave. I guess his usual singing range is the essence of the band, for me

His voice is pretty low for most of "Me" too.

help can't stop listening

think when i first saw a live video i said it was a gorgeous composite of their album approach and their ep approach i.e. a pop song but submerged and blurred until it's a sustained blush. their best song yet

the lyrics are also crushing for reasons i'd rather not get into

this song was so obviously good from the live recording, basically im just happy they didn't fuck up the mixing or something, like it's more or less how i imagined it would sound

there's a real danger in listening to the live version 1st & falling for it!

^^^ this happened with me and "the sound" but "somebody else" translated perfectly

if anything it sounds more absorbing

"“Somebody Else,” the album’s latest pre-release single, is their attempt at chillwave"

looking forward to the criticism this record will generate in a "michael jackson popcorn gif" sorta way

i'm reminded that i should be GETTING OVER IT

Ahhhhh this is a reversion to type not them branching out - and I mean that in the best possible way.

It's like "fallingforyou" crowed with Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes".

Crossed, even.

Also the new best song ever written

"somebody else" is the only song i've listened to in the past 36 hours and i don't see an end in sight anytime soon

lmao @ this official merch

so uh i have this now, and i started crying at the intro lol

the envy... i can't really describe it

recorded version of "a change of heart" completely justifies me comparing it to "say hello wave goodbye" upthread

hm i wonder if this thread also features me freaking out when i got the stream of lp1

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

yep

if "she's american" is "settle down pt. 2" the production goes harder

it's more dynamic, more of a nervous rush

omg i hate you brad

lol

i might stop there bc like every element of this record is a huge surprise and i'd like y'all to be as surprised as i am

meanwhile this album is ruining my life

this is ruining my life. i can't wait.

ok one thing i know blue nile and scritti politti were thrown around as referents from the beginning of this thread but they are REALLY embodied here, "please be naked" is like a lost hats instrumental

ok that's it i'm shutting up now
