just finished the album!

djlkakdkjflkj,malkjflkja;lj *sputters and dies*

it's an hour long, right? i expect that is worth it

This album is going to cause mass fatalities on ILX I fear.

"she's american" is basically the only song that resembles the debut, other than the few moments i'm reminded of "menswear"

*promptly digs own grave and lies down in it*

that's been my emotional state all day

there was a party that you had to miss
because your friend kept cutting her wrists
hyperpoliticized sexual trysts
"oh i think my boyfriend is a nihilist"

stop, Brad. stop ;_;

:D

i mean cool if they go all gooey but i hope there some songs with big, prominent drums on this album as that was one of my favourite features of the first one (see: "the city", "talk", "heart out")

it is way less of a thing on this record (in fact you've prob heard most of the songs with enormous drums) but they're there on "she's american" and "the ballad of me & my brain"

Tango In The Night is a really big record for us as well, by Fleetwood Mac. That really inspired this record. Yeah, Scritti Polliti. Alexander O’Neal, funnily enough, was a big part of this record; we love that album Hearsay. Michael and Janet Jackson too.

ilm: the album

But what are his thoughts on Jute Gyte?

They were playing new 1975 video on big screen displays at target today

alright which one of you is secretly a member of The 1975

yeah that's like if you put alfred's brain into a robot and made it write an album

ilxbot 2016 it's aliiiiiiive

Off topic a bit, but just listened to M83's "Graveyard Girl" for the first time in probably a few years and noticed how strikingly similar the verses are to those in "Milk".

This is a great record and I hope it's huge.

so is this literally not gonna be made avail 4 streaming today bc if that's the case i'm gonna have to think of a plan b for my weekend

i don't think so (meaning i haven't heard anything). monday maybe?

lol or they could be perverse and not do an early stream at all

if i b e l i e e e v e you

will that make it S T O P

the literal asphyxiation and paralysis of a select few internet music fans is on hold, at least

lj i predict you will like this record despite yourself

lol I do rly want to hear it, just mildly joshing nourry and uberweiss' post-brad house style

Really glad to see you saying that, Dorian! (I'm listening to it for the first time in a few weeks right now).

you were coming across as clever
then you lit the wrong end of your cigarette

this happened to me sometime in December

i'll quote on the road like a twat
and wind my way out of the city
finding a girl who is equally pretty won't be hard
i just had a change of heart

"i'll quote on the road like a twat"

I don't know the song and i already love this lyric so much. 'Cause 'on the road'... Ugh

A change of heart - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03kcc0d

sounds like a Frances and the Lights joint

Francis and the Lights

trying to will this album to leak

just wanna talk about it with y'all already

oh good it's getting better reviews than i expected http://www.spin.com/2016/02/review-the-1975-i-like-it-when-you-sleep-for-you-are-so-beautiful-yet-so-unaware-of-it/

that's winston c-w tho, he's unknowningly absorbed into the ilx mindmeld

also spin ran a big story with them with good access so duh

oh i'm aware of both of those things. still wasn't expecting this kind of reception

i wouldn't get used to it

lol excellent

deej what happened to your poker face

stereogum put a thing up which doesn't say much other than "lol they sound like a lot of different things, but it all kind of works"

stereogum seem really enthusiastic about it but the review spends too much time unsuccessfully trying to defend it to their readers

the comments are hilarious

do any of them pick on Healy's hair? That's what it matters.

lol those comments. and so many of them
