The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 195

I'm not saying I'm going to hate the album, haha. I'm just saying I typically don't have the attention to span to get through a 40 minute album these days, let alone an 80 minute one...

 

I am fully here and ready for an 80 minute long, 22 song 1975 album.

Will definitely be a contender for my 2021 aoty

 

fair but i mean i like it when you sleep is 70 minutes

 

Worst case scenario is that you’ll have 2 11 track albums from the 1975 coming! I’m sure they’re going to sequence it so you can split it

 

that would be cool! if they don't, i will.

 

right. and i think i've listened to that album in full less than 5 times.

 

Honestly, I'd personally rather get two shorter albums w/ the first coming out sooner, instead of waiting for this bigger album. Like, would've been happy w/ a trilogy of shorter annual albums for this "Music For Cars" era (if they're still calling it that.)

But, that's just the way I consume music right now. If they wanna wait for some kinda longer musical statement or whatever, I'm not gonna tell 'em they have to bend their creative vision around my preferences. Whatever.

The one complaint I do personally agree with, which has led to me not paying super close attention to this rollout, is the constantly shifting dates. I'm that way w/ a lot of media, though. Like, I prefer when comic book creative teams withhold soliciting their comic 'til it's finished, instead of a ton of delays. Though, much as w/ comics, I'd still take the album as intended over a weaker product in order to stay on schedule; I just think not even giving a schedule 'til you're ready makes more sense. But, hey, whatever, idk.

 

whaaaaaaat

 

Complaining about an abundance of music that no one has heard yet is a little weird to me

 

too long too delayed too time too shy

 

How's it weird for people to discuss their preferences when it comes to music consumption?

 

At this point, I just want to hear the studio version of "Too Shy" for 80 minutes

 

Welcome to chorus dot fm

 

I just can’t imagine being upset about getting more music. Do you though!

 

I do not like the 1975

 

Can you imagine being an artist and working so hard on a project for so long while fans are clamoring for you to finish it nonstop, and then you finish it, and the first thing some of the fans say is, “Jesus, why is it so long? I don’t need that.”

What a world.

 

A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships is probably my favorite album of the last two years. I listened to "Frail State of Mind" & watched the music video a ton. Notes is one of my two most anticipated albums at the moment (the other being Julien Baker's next one, whenever that's supposed to come out).

And, when I shared my preference for a couple smaller albums over one bigger album, I qualified it by saying I wouldn't expect them to compromise their creative vision for the sake of that preference.

But, hey, what's online fandom w/out people who take every differing opinion deeply personally, lol.

 

This thread is miserable and it’s absolutely incredible the things people choose to complain about

 

because the vast vast vast majority of albums with 15-22+ tracks contain a lot of filler. I am one who prefers quality over quantity

this band deserves some credit because their last two albums are 15-16 tracks and work really well. I just can't think of one album that exceeds that many tracks that I listen to front to back. if a good amount are interludes or spoken word stuff and the actual songs are around that 15-16 track mark then it'll be fine.

more does not always equal better.

 

It’s just ridiculous to judge something you literally haven’t listened to yet. To me, every song so far has been fantastic and I see no reason to think that quality won’t continue on to a full album like it has in the past.

 

if there is a band that can release a 22 track album and each one is a banger it is the 1975

I'm just not holding my breath

 

This, I agree with, unfortunately.

Which is a big part of why I tend to unfollow it after posting & just pop in every now & then.

 

anyways do I think this album will "bad" because of 22 songs? of course not

 

Personally I think their last couple albums had a ton of songs that I always skip and think are weak. I’ll be happy if I can craft this down to a 10 track full length that I love

 

there isn’t a single song on any of the full-lengths thus far that I don’t at least like, a vast majority of them I love

I’m not worried, they honestly seem to be at their creative peak.
