its art man you're not building a table

it's a great way to open the album insofar as you can always just start with track 2

i find it pretty pleasant to listen to, tbh...v sci fi vibe. like an entry from the diary of princess irulan

the instrumental track is kinda cool but so is the track for "The Man Who Married a Robot" and I still skip it
― Vinnie, Thursday, 25 July 2019 15:25 (five years ago) link
it's not to say that this kind of track can't work. I like VU's "The Gift" and that's 8 minutes long. maybe something about the vocals being too upfront in the 1975 tracks

deej otm

i listened once, that should do it.

I like to think of it as the logical endpoint of a pop idea that started with Beyonce’s “Flawless”.

in that "flawless" is about waking up and this song puts you to sleep?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 25 July 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link
They should have gotten Baz Luhrmann instead.

lol I think if you said to Matt "congratulations on making a sequel to The Sunscreen Song" he would probably kill himself.
― Tim F, Thursday, 25 July 2019 23:20 (five years ago) link
looking forward to the version on the next album where the speech is autotuned or something
― ufo, Friday, 26 July 2019 02:23 (five years ago) link
all the s/t intro tracks are p terrible imo, so im not putting much stock in this. i didn’t like the spoken word track on the previous album either tho so hopefully that’s the extent of it
― flopson, Saturday, 27 July 2019 05:23 (five years ago) link
i thought it was fine on ILIWYS but otherwise completely skippable

even my least favorite 1975 song is good live
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 12 August 2019 19:23 (five years ago) link
video's gone, which track?
― ufo, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 01:06 (five years ago) link
full band arrangement of “be my mistake”

oh wow that's a lot better than the album version
― ufo, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 02:14 (five years ago) link
they were so good when i saw them a month ago that i'm actually thinking travelling from lisbon to paris in november just to see them again at pitchfork music festival.

New single in 3 hours?

they've gone Manson!
― Simon H., Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
i think the video really sells the song
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:41 (five years ago) link
unrelated but the official 11M-view video for Give Yourself A Try has changed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUzBfBqbSmc
― alpine static, Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:46 (five years ago) link
I have not watched the video. I did listen to the song via Spotify, by queuing up and listening to the "The 1975" intro track first, which I recommend.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:47 (five years ago) link
i was not expecting this. still processing. but i was hoping this would finally be their 'music for cars' album. i was wrong.
― Nourry, Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:22 (five years ago) link
i don't think their singles portend anything about the subsequent albums honestly
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:23 (five years ago) link
yeah there's literally still another 20 songs to go supposedly
― Simon H., Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:24 (five years ago) link
that's true.
― Nourry, Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:27 (five years ago) link
Um. I can imagine that song being fun live, minus some of the more annoying effects, and I can also imagine the song is no more indicative of the album than "Song 2" was. But. Um. Yeah, no thanks. Reminds of the Vines or something.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:31 (five years ago) link
this is the best fucking band of all time
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:32 (five years ago) link
it made me think of battles
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:33 (five years ago) link
oh man i dont like this at all.
― big city slam (Spottie), Thursday, 22 August 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
why are they trying to sound like jet?
― big city slam (Spottie), Thursday, 22 August 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
someone else compared it to refused and i think it’s somewhere between that and “song 2.” it extremely rules imo but i get why this would be radioactive to others
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 22 August 2019 20:47 (five years ago) link
vocals kinda remind me of glassjaw
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Thursday, 22 August 2019 20:54 (five years ago) link
not really into this, probably the first time the idea that this band can do pretty much anything hasn't worked out for me
― ufo, Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:00 (five years ago) link
This sounds like Refused covering a Queens of the Stone Age song, which... I guess it could be worse as someone who grew up on Refused, QOTSA, Manson and "Song 2" — but not too long ago, Matty talking about this being their nighttime album, inspired by Burial and The Streets, stuff like that... so who really knows anything anymore?
― ilxor, Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:01 (five years ago) link
Sounds like XTRMNTR era PRML SCRM to me.
― piscesx, Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:02 (five years ago) link
would probably like it a lot if it did sound like XTRMNTR to me
― ufo, Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:08 (five years ago) link
this song has returned us to the roots of this thread.... everyone throwing out highbrow/lowbrow comparisons that build out a compelling constellation of influences
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:13 (five years ago) link
I do miss the 3rd Eye Blind phase of this band :)
― big city slam (Spottie), Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:17 (five years ago) link
This song sounds like Gregorian chants spliced with ZZ Top
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:18 (five years ago) link
Every first single this band has put out has surprised me. This one might be the most out there, and I wouldn't say I like it a lot, but I can't help but love this band for continually making music that's further and further out of what I expect. In any case, video is great
― Vinnie, Thursday, 22 August 2019 23:20 (five years ago) link
Go figure, I like the song better without the video playing at the same time.
― ilxor, Friday, 23 August 2019 00:21 (five years ago) link
this is...not what I was expecting
― k3vin k., Friday, 23 August 2019 00:41 (five years ago) link
hahaha haven't heard this but Battles, Refused, QOTSA are bands I would have bet a large amount of money would have never come up in this thread

can't believe this is them
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 23 August 2019 02:11 (five years ago) link
It's like they sat down and asked, ok, which bands have we *not* been compared to before? And then decided to sound like that.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 23 August 2019 02:20 (five years ago) link
Still waiting for their song that sounds like Jute Gyte.
