The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 319

I feel like Radiohead's become a catch-all descriptor for so many things now. And I say that as someone that compared the new Copeland to them. Heh. But when I say it it's usually about a wide mixture of sounds, layers, and many of those being different from a tonal perspective than what you'd expect. Doing something weird while still keeping an accessible melody.

 

Yeah, I think that's on point. The difference for me that these reviewers aren't catching (though what do I know, I've only heard a third of the album) is that to call something Radiohead-esque, there should also be an expansiveness to the sound within each song. The last Radiohead album feels like you're looking out over a cliff a number of different vistas. I consider The 1975's music to date more "broad" in genre than "expansive" and genre-less; their songs (with the exception of the title track on the last album) are more like perfect miniatures than open canvases.

 

It’s quite a lot ridiculous.

I mean, it’s the internet. Does an online-only publication even have a country? Isn’t that the whole theme of this album?

If you put a Union Flag in the banner do you think you’d be able to post it?

 

Yeah, it's not how I would do it. But, not my call. I can only respond to questions about the album with emoji.

 

Which song on the album sounds the most like the cowboy emoji?

 

what emoji best describes your feelings on the album?

 

on a scale of to how would you rate the album

 

Full emoji 'thoughts' in my Instagram story.

 

I just errantly thought “What’s my favorite 1975 song” and that sent me into a downward spiral that might have broken my brain.

The sheer depth of available choices was overwhelming.

 

Trying to find ones I don't like is just as hard.

 

My hype for this album is through the roof.

I’ve loved every song massively so far.

 

@MikeERayner @LWS @TheBaroness & any other Aussie fans, tour dates!!

 

What is this

 

It’s on appley music as well.

It’s the bonus track in Japan isn’t it? I was expecting a new recording but this is just the one that’s been around for years.

 

GIMME GIMME, GIMME MOREEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Re-reading old ILIWYS reviews. This one is a dizzying flood of adjectives, but it's also really fun to read.

The 1975: I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It

 

There’s no songs I hate from the band, but I would say my least favorites are MONEY and Talk.

 

Paris forever. A change of heart, robbers, sex, nana are all next up. Not including new singles

 

Me, She Lays Down, Paris, Robbers, Menswear

 

If I Believe You, Ugh, Menswear

 

“Ugh” is so damn good.

 

The chorus on UGH could be the absolute best thing ever if I think about it hard enough
