the 1975

I really don’t get the comparison to “the sound” sonically, lyrically I think “tootime” is really simple and direct in a way that complements the breezy atmosphere of the music well

I can take or leave either single, and while I didn't like "Love It If We Made It" I prefer the 1975 when Healy gets creepy over mid tempo ruminations ("A Change of Heart" might be my favorite 1975 song

It may end up being the kind of track that is a bit of a "light relief" moment after a more emotionally heavier section of the album, from the sounds of it.

(x-post)

My favourite 1975 song is either 'Paris' or 'Lostmyhead' ...

I haven't read what Katherine wrote so I am not saying this is what she did at all. There's this thing in music criticism that mostly happens on twitter, sometimes on small blurbs outlet like Singles Jukebox and even on ILX, that I just can't stand. Some critics will just truly dismiss music and barely explains why, like it would be self-evident that band shouldn't make music, like the notion of 'different strokes for different folks' never existed. To even like the song is some sort of injury to 'good taste'. The thing is, sometimes some people really love that song, they will have built a particular emotional connection with and suddenly to have this particular emotional connection seen by the experts on the field as a character fault, well it hurts. I understand one shouldn't take those personally but it does hurt.

This is shit Lex used to do all the time here and it was truly infuriating. Part of it is because the lines between writing music criticism as a professional and just being a music critic writing for fun on many different online outlets have been obviously blurred. However, if you claim any professional title to music criticism and you dismiss music people love without doing proper research as to why they love it, or if you just can't be arsed to be respectful of what other people like, then I suggest to get ready to be called a troll, even if it it not true at all.

turrican otm, back to maybe discussing the music then

give katherine a break christ

Yeah dude. Not the time

i can’t see why that post was necessary

I’m kinda liking the tootimetootime song. Very early daft punk

i have v much grown to love it

tooti#metoo time

i too yearn for the pre social media days when all disagreement was non-dismissive and replete with 'different strokes' caveats

To “two-time” is to be unfaithful in a relationship or to sleep with multiple women at the same time without informing any of them.

Taking the theme of the album, online relationships, into consideration, Matty could be saying this in a satirical manner, poking fun at society.

Hypersexualization in the media is a prevalent and pressing issue in the 21st century. Matty might be suggesting that our society makes it easy to be led into temptation.

whiney, go fuck yourself

like grow up man, come on

whiney aptly named, you sun dried cunt

wtf is going on

Did whiney post something that got deleted or is it the bad metoo joke

I don't know, but it's comforting to know that shit will kick off in here regardless of whether I post in here or not. Vindicated is the word.

Turrican, have you checked your email?

*gulp*

Nope, but I can guess!

Whiney is a good poster fwiw

Didn’t mean to diss you otherwise just in the context of what was going on here yeah

the whole No Rome EP that Matty & George produced is out now and is quite enjoyable. a sped up loop from Narcissist (which Matty sings on) forms the base for TOOTIME

ooh How To Draw is on it? should be lovely to hear a new version of that

also lol at The Man Who Married a Robot / Love Theme

album cover rules a lot

I was expecting something like the posters so this is definitely nicer

into the cassette availability

i feel like theyre practicing the 'song evolves into chorus' form of songwriting rather than the 'drop chorus on your head like a bomb' school that has been dominant past ten years ... i appreciate that

01 The 1975

Heh, I was wondering if they'd do this again!

08 I Like America & America Likes Me

Hi Bono!

the only thing worse than the 1975 are your posts on this thread/forum

The 1975 have evolved into a very good band, so naturally I disagree with your original opinion.
