The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 290

idk if this has been answered yet or not, but the album's length is 80:30. a standard CD can hold slightly less than 80 minutes exactly. did they have to shorten any songs or use overburn technology or anything for the CD version?

 

People is such a sick opener.

 

Can't CDs hold just less than 90 mins.

 

To be more specific the run from “Yea I Know” to “Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy)” is excellent. Only one listen though! I think the record sputters a little at the jump, I’m not too keen on the intro which is something I support but I have no reason to listen to it again tbh. Kind of wish the record just started with “People”.

 

Think "Frail" finally clicked for me, that song rules

 

bruh

 

any help here would be greatly appreciated ;)

 

Lol wait how is Blakebeats involved in this? He was the one who leaked it?

 

Fuck. I’ll post thoughts later. But Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy) is fuckin incredible.

 

Excited to listen to this. Will probably go pick up some beers or something to have with this

 

yes lol. if i understood the events correctly, he drove an hour to target, bought the CD + cd drive and leaked it

 

Playing this again as I make some muffins and it’s sounding even better.

hit that shit go hit that shit

 

It's hilarious to me that he had to buy the drive too.

 

Is anyone else feeling like this album as a whole feels “lighter” than ABI? Not like it is necessarily happier...though it might be. But like everything feels like I am just levitating. Just heard If You’re Too Shy for the first time and its as excellent as everyone is saying.

 

I remade the tracklist for myself.

1. The End
2. Frail State
3. Too Shy
4. Birthday
5. Then Because
6. Streaming
7. I Think There's
8. Roadkill
9. Me and You
10. Yeah I Know
11. What Should I Say
12. Bagsy
13. Nothing Revealed
14. Don't Worry
15. Having No Head

 

Yeah, there's a lot of instrumentals/interludes that makes it all feel pretty floaty.

 

yeah, that ain't it

 

really didn't like the song when it was initially released it but it same, it really clicks now. same with People

 

J Bone! Can't wait to get his thoughts on his experience with the album - Friday's newsletter will be good

 

I’m surprised on how well this is flowing for me. I mentioned before that the first half of ABI’s flow isn’t my favorite- even though I love most of the songs (BMM can go). But everything here is just really working for me.

 

Every listen of "Nothing Revealed" I find myself pretending I'm singing along with the choir in my room, haha

 

No "People"? No dice.

Also the album's been out for a few hours and people are already taking their scissors to it. I just find that funny. Haha, you're a completely different kinda listener than me. I need weeks with a full piece of art before I can think about how I'd change it, let alone just chopping it up. Heh.
