my controversial take is that too shy is one of the most overrated 1975 songs to date :x one of their few singles I'm just not that into and I couldn't tell ya why.
You’re right that other tracks may seem weirder or more out of place, but too shy being the lone kind of 80’s pop banger that we know is a layup for them is what makes me say that. Again, I really like that song and I’m glad we get to have it forever.
Listening to The Birthday Party for the first time and I cannot believe they released this as a single lol Good tune, but what?!
or maybe every other song should have been left off the record because none are as good as "too shy."
I've only heard People and Too Shy before today and what the fuck lmao. Idk what i expected from this album but this is wild
eh I think "Too Shy" fits in with the same through-line as, say, "Me and You Together Song," even if they're not doing exactly the same thing
On listen 2 now and putting The End after People was perfect. Like it throws you so far out there and then it is used to pull you back. Love it.
just finished my first play through. it's a long one... but it was nice to have as background music while i work. on first listen, there's a handful of songs i could do without, there's a handful of songs that just went in one ear and out the other or blended together. there's a few songs that i loved though. the ones i loved the most actually don't sound like typical 1975 so that's pretty cool. but yeah, i think i'll have to listen to it all again, pick out the songs i like, and then discard the others, like i've done with every other 1975 album since their debut, haha.
I feel so seen in occult dreams Sleeping terrifies me, otherwise, I'm fine, see It's all back and forth, back on the dope, back on the floor Oh, please ignore me, I'm just feeling sorry for myself Feeling like someone, like somebody else, who don’t feel themselves Paying for their wealth with their mental health I'd like to meet myself in smart clothes I think there's someplace I should go I think there's something you should know ^love that part
yeah I like this more than ABI already, let’s see if it’ll match up to ILIWY which is one of the best albums of all time
