The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 339

Thinking about ABI and how it sounds like the 1975 trying to be the biggest band in the world. Probably what I love about it.

 

Just started my listen. So far so good.

 

Until I heard roadkill’s callback to robbers I always thought it was “if you never read you’ll never grow” lol

 

If nothing else I view the two paired because of that. One is arena/we are taking over and the other is it’s antithesis.

 

Pretty good record to clean your windows to

 

Really enjoying this record. Really dug that Apple Music video on the making of the album, especially Matty conveying the sequence with all of the TV's, loved that (like an exhibit at the Tate or something lol). Also, I have to respectfully disagree with takes suggesting Streaming into The Birthday Party is too long of a sequence. When the guitar lick kicks in to start TBP, I legit tear up.

 

damn my windows are CLEAN

 

If these guys ever put out an 8 or 9-song LP with no chaff I bet it'd rule

 

Just finished the deluxe debut. Those ep tracks are delicious as hell

 

I think they've done an amazing job experimenting with a bunch of different sounds on the last two albums but those early EP songs always felt like they created their own sound. Some very cool stuff.

 

after two listens, my current thoughts on this album:
it is good!

 

Crazy half of those fave songs are ep songs lol

 

Sounds like this is gonna be the last thing we get from them for quite awhile...

 

Over/under in no new 1975 album in 5 years

 

Under, but it might also be a push with it being right at 5 years. @Jason Tate thoughts?

 

If id be ok with no new 1975 songs so a while, let them branch out with other endeavors, then a new album in 5 or so years.
They’re 10000% not leaving though

 

I hope he changes his mind and says fuck it...we also recorded this other record in quarantine lol

 

I think they’ll tour Notes 2021 and now a bit into 2022 due to the postponements, take some time off but I think we have a new album end of
2023 or early 2024

 

I kinda hope this is it for a while tbh. Let everyone sit with the full discography, get those solo albums out, put out DLID material, and let people get hungry.

 

It's going to be under, he did a radio interview a few weeks ago where he said the band was "gearing up for our next record" or something to that effect, since they can't play shows for a while. The whole "this is our last album for a while" idea was while he was making Notes, but things have changed now.

On the other hand, Matty is only right about his band's plans like 25% of the time so who's to say

 

Matty's currently doing a livestream of the album in full with him listening to it too on IG Live

 

For a moment ABI was going to be the last 1975 album. They’ll be back, I’d guess 3-4 years. But they’ll announce it in 2 years haha.

 

matty is live on insta streaming his reaction to his listen through

 

What Should I Say is a hell of a song, might be my current fave
