the 1975

This is totally unrelated but I think that they should cover U2 “I will follow”

still the best band in the world

wow, how do these guys do it

jangle is such a good look on them

the bridge is soooooo good

trying to figure out what the riff reminds me of and I think it’s “bobby jean”???

lyrics of this one are kicking my personal ass

Oh yeah this is great. My favorite of the songs released for this album so far

lyrics of this one are kicking my personal ass

you tell me.
a friend of mine was telling me that this song is everything she couldn't say when she was 17.
i think it's everything i can't say at 31!

This is IT. Best new track by far

This sounds like a song from the soundtrack of an American Pie sequel.

*ducks*

xpost "cool" feels like a smart reference point, it's the kind of song you could imagine them ghostwriting for a pop singer

I suppose I’m reaching to an extent calling it heartfelt and sentimental — the music definitely gives the lyrics these emotional shadings they resist — but it feels true that the emotion is there ... I like that it ends with him sitting in self pity and crying In the car

Easily my favourite of the songs from the new album so far. The jangly Britpop vibes suit them so well.

oh so have they released something new

"cool" also has a p solid keening synth part in it. "a change of heart" is the kind of defensive that pretty much exposes everything it's hiding imo, so yeah you're otm deej

This is totally unrelated but I think that they should cover U2 “I will follow”

And I keep thinking they should cover "Round Here" by Counting Crows.

i saw a great youtube comment (that i can no longer find) to the effect of “everyone thinking this is The Song: in an interview five years from now Matty will say it’s about weed” 😂

decided the new one is the mid-point of "vapour trail" and "semi-charmed life"

wow yes

This is perfect.

otm damn. great to have the 3EB comparisons come back around

i've come around hard on "people" and especially "frail state of mind," both of which i liked but initially didn't see myself returning to much. and now there's this which is absolutely perfect... so so pumped for the album and quite disappointed it's been pushed back yet again.

I don’t know what the fuck that is but I love that song about being in a phone box or whatever it is https://t.co/AnolXScieJ

It's very 'first Ocean Colour Scene album' but perhaps unfairly i couldn't help think of

wow i love that video

I think it's safe to say both song and video exemplify "'90s revival."

Great video, it’s like a kitschadelic take on both Sex videos.

I get so emotional when switches from “her” to “you”.

i was thinking the exact same thing

yes yes yes it is all about this

No unanimity: http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=28830

i like the gay line! for one it ties right into “the sound”! i also relate to it in that it reminds me of me before i came out!

(sorry i’m responding to a singles jukeblox burb there)

if it's 2020 and ur still hating on the 1975 wyd????

(my friends talk about having “cute aggression” w dogs & cats but i only experience it whenever I look at Matty he’s fkn cute I want to punch him)

love the video - even the “looking up at the camera while jumping around ” is perfectly referenced

new songs played live!

"if you're too shy" is phenomenal

this song is great

third eye blind meets ride is a great line

"if you're too shy" & "me & you together song" are such movie soundtrack songs, i love it

Okay then

really

I feel so alone.

They've written a half dozen good to great songs, but often ILM turns into the Sanders thread when it comes to these dudes.

i wouldn't say they can do no wrong because "people" was sort of a dud but it's close

"people" rocks, i am once again asking you to acknowledge the 1975 have no bad songs

j/k "be my mistake" is not good, they've written way more than a "half dozen good to great songs" though
