the 1975

i have listened to "i think there's something you should know" sooo many times this evening

frail state of mind still like passing through a vortex

wait til you hear "i think there's something you should know" as far as passing through a vortex goes

"the birthday party" is such an amazing song

Never mind. I was unable to find it.

i think "yeah i know" is extremely cool, i'm in love with that "veridis quo" synth line

and then "then because she goes" is a hey mercedes song

that is way too short but i'll take it

wish they'd written a full "tom courtenay" instead of the half they gave us

ROADKILL

wait til you hear "i think there's something you should know" as far as passing through a vortex goes

oh yeah and it's fuckin sick

life
feels like a lie
i need something to be true

is there anybody out there?????

i've just had a huge smile on my face through "i think there's something you should know" -> "nothing revealed/everything denied" -> "tonight i wish i was your boy"

that middle stretch from "jesus christ" to "tonight" is my favourite part

"tonight"!!! that's sophistipop!!!!

"shiny collarbone" is fucking sick

this is such a disjointed experience but idk i already love it a lot more than brief inquiry (a record i love)

wish they'd written a full "tom courtenay" instead of the half they gave us

The YLT song? It's amusing trying to piece together how this sounds based on these comments.

OK found a copy

yeah the ylt song

it sounds like at least 4 different albums in different genres shuffled together

yes it really does

meanwhile "if youre too shy" is still the best song i've ever heard

"If You're Too Shy" is such a well-constructed song.

"shiny collarbone" is very cool but is the peak of the absolutely bizarre sequencing

really think they nailed the acoustic songs on this record, "playing on my mind" is just another example of that

imo they should be writing for country artists

and producing

"having no head" is like "how to draw/petrichor" pt 3

i am so pleased

"what should i say"

yes

what a fuckin weird record

it has maybe the weirdest/worst sequencing of any record ive ever heard

second only to the last one

?

the whiplash effect of the sequencing is i think a feature for me in the case of this particular record

wake up wake up wake up it's tuesday morning

i think "yeah i know" is fucking amazing

i know it gets hard sometimes
making out with people that you don't like

I lol'd at the "sorry for not chiming in on the election, I'm busy" line wherever that happened

I kind of suspect this is not coalescing for me for similar reasons as the hayley williams album and a couple others this year and that's the combo of super eclectic sonics and super insular writing which grates on me probably unfairly

there's lots to like in both of course

and i won’t get clothes online 'cause i get worried about the fit
that rule don’t apply concerning my relationships

very jarring to see pinegrove and their "weirdness" namechecked in song

adore most of this on first listen but yup the sequencing is truly bizarre. also don't really care for the bookend-y instrumentals on either side of "frail state of mind."

two moments that hit me particularly hard: "feeling like someone, like somebody else, who don't feel himself" on "i think there's something you should know" + those "i kno-o-o-ow" bits of the "roadkill" chorus

every time matt uses "we" I wonder who he thinks he's talking about ("I'm not made of it", sure pal)

people like people, they want alive people? yeah right matty

"Then Because She Goes" is one of the best things on here imho

yeah that shit is emo

re: the bridge of "roadkill"

youuuuuu
i've been waiting for youuuu
my whole life

maybe my favorite melody matty's ever written, my god

it's the best of the album tracks

with all due respect, you guys are fucking crazy. this album is ridiculously good.

otm as hell
