The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 281

life feels like a liiie

 

Look at all the people in here!

 

wish i was your boy tonight i hope i am a gentleman

 

Jamie xx vibes are especially real on Shiny Collarbone.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't mind them taking some time off to write and produce for other artists afterwards. I hope that George / Matty (if I recall correctly) produced Beabadoobee album comes to fruition.

edit: By afterwards, I mean after they have the chance to tour it! So not before a long while

 

this thing is wild

 

tiny sidebar to say that man I can't wait for a No Rome full length.

 

Yeah, def. I'm not a bippity boppity boo fan but def Rome

 

I love Guys as the closer. Feels like a deep breath of fresh air at the end of a marathon

 

"Settle Down" and "She's American" sound like songs they'd put in John Hughes movies or on their soundtracks but "If You're Too Shy" sounds like one of those movies turned into a stage musical

 

Full disclosure, even though I gave Greta one proper for my first listen, the ended the album on Don't Worry lol

 

this is far more difficult to take in as a whole than Brief Inquiry and I guess like maybe that was a whole thing but I'm still surprised how much that's true.

 

Yeah, if I’m throwing on a 1975 record on any given day, I’m listening to ABI, if I have a solid 1.5 hours I’ll throw this on

 

Very happy after my first listen. My first time hearing Guys and it's a wonderful closer

 

I also haven't heard Guys yet so I'm excited for that

"Playing on My Mind" is lovely, picks up the Birthday Party/Jesus Christ thread after a while

 

ABI is definitely more straight forward - sure the songs still all range in genre but there's, what, one interlude and the rest are all complete, full tracks. Where here we've got interludes, short tracks - the whole thing is much more disjointed and all over the place I think that's the point.

I absolutely love this so far and the most exciting part is that I know that with more listens, once I know what to expect, I'm only going to love it more. Like even stating that I think Then Because She Goes was too short - now that I know that two minutes is all I get, I'll appreciate it more for what it is because the expectation is gone.

 

nothing wrong with a two minute bop!

 

"Having No Head" is "I like it when you sleep" at night

 

Absolutely not! I think what threw me off mostly was that it felt squished in between some acoustic tracks which made it feel a bit out of place. I still love it - and the placement will grow on me 10000%

 

this is such a cool album, anything could happen at any time

I could easily listen to this all day and you know what I think I just might

 

I think I'm gonna start round 4 in a park with a zoot.

It's time.

 

"What Should I Say" is brilliant. this is giving me that "first time hearing LP2" feeling

 

Finally got it to stream seamlessly so listen 4 will be the first proper listen lol

 

seconding the "Playing On My Mind" love, like a little sequel to "Surrounded by Heads and Bodies" which is shockingly underrated

 

this slowly became one of my favorites
