good Lord put the album out already

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.

cowards for not dropping it on 9/11 imo

how much do y'all want to bet that it has a dfw reference

For some reason I thought this record was supposed to come out in the end of August, so having to wait until the end of November for this is gonna be agonizing

Yeah, I ordered the LP plus cassette and signed card package.

Almost went the t-shirt as well. Mainly because, um, its a nice t-shirt.

this one's my fav so far

but then i'm always most mesmerized when they make straight up r&b tracks

oh my god this band really can do anything can't they

where can one actually hear this

https://www.mymusic.net.tw/ux/w/album/show/643855 it went up early on this taiwanese streaming site, if you sign in with a fb account you can hear the full song

hello d'angelo dragging beat

cool that it automatically plays on a loop, i think i'll leave it like that till noon

beautiful sax playing.

basically all of the elements of "if i believe you" in the service of a different but related vibe

iirc there's supposed to be more of this vibe on the album, they mentioned that Mine is a 'jazzy lounge' track in one interview

a less dramatic version of "if i believe you", i suppose.
i'm playing it on a loop.

it's maybe a little too obviously a sequel of "if i believe you" but given that that's the best song of all time i am not complaining

This one is probably my favorite out of the four new songs.

Clever bastards.

questlove on the drums or?

November 30 seems so far away.

I get why people are referencing "if I believe you" but this has a totally different feel for me, it's much more live-sessiony in a way that stands in contrast to IIBY's studio perfection, more jazzy, I fuck with it tho. that said I'm surprised it's made such an immediate impression on a couple of true heads itt, seems like more of a slow burner

I almost wish this band would make a bad song so they'd be more relatable or something

on spotify now btw

do they have any songs that are 'bad'? I can't think of any I totally dislike

only songs i didn't at least like on contact were "loving someone" and "she way out" and turns out they're both good

some of the EP songs aren't their best maybe but basically no

eric otm with the d'angelo reference.

i have 0 problem with them doing more songs like If I Believe You and showing they can be a fantastic r&b band if they really want to be anytime, and the brass arrangement is even better here. not as funny as If I Believe You but what else is?

at the risk of turricanism, how is this band not named the 1985

I would have been into this band probably a year earlier if they were called the 1985 though now I kind of like their name

New song has a great vibe, though the hook didn't get me the first listen. Suspect this is one that will grow on me

I really liked "Sex" when it came out, but since then, I haven't found any reason to be interested in these guys, so I'm kind of surprised to find myself loving "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime" so much, annoying title aside. My latest favourite entry in whatever we want to call the genre that also (to my ears) encompasses Chvrches, MUNA, Kristen Control and things like that. And yeah, the video is a delight, too.
