The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 364

You all need to hear the soundtrack to the 1987 teen film Can't Buy Me Love - The 1975 seem like direct descendants to this soundtrack

 

Side note, "Can't Buy Me Love" is the most cliche 80's teen film ever, with a very surface level story, but it's still good if you want an easy watch

 

Also, for the Nightly/Hotel Apache/The WLDLFE/The Ivy/1975-like crowd, check out Midnight Kids

 

1975 is the only one of those bands you mentioned I have ever heard of before

 

I've actually heard of The Ivy. I Kinda dig em!

 

I love all of them EXCEPT midnight kids - so I’ll check it out

but the 90s kids track is dope cause 90s kids are dope as well lol

 

If only someone taught them song structure

 

Certified bop in my eyes

 

So fucking pissed off they broke up right as they were churning out bops.

 

I feel so seen and I can't dream
Sleeping terrifies me, otherwise, I'm fine
See-saw back and forth, back on the door, 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 himself
Paying for their wealth with their mental health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's someplace I should go

think I’m ready to say this is the best moment on the album. it’s like “oh, what’s the vibe” but somehow hits ten times harder which shouldn’t be feasible but this band does it, on the same record no less.

 

Definitely my favorite part of the album. It gets me going.

 

Sadly one of the only non singles I find myself going back to :(

 

I don’t have the time to sit with the whole thing much lately, but I’ve wanted to return to pretty much everything here. it’s also inspired me musically unlike any album I can think of in quite awhile. maybe that last Japanese House record.

 

Definitely an album highlight!

 

Wasn’t sure how much I’d return due to the length, and “scattered”-ness of it. Though honestly been loving it lately. The back half is esp amazing.

 

Been listening to it like it’s 5 different EPs

 

Uh I’m listening to the vinyl, does anyone else feel like the speeds at like 1.1x or slightly faster?

 

me rn listening to If You’re Too Shy and living my teen movie dance montage fantasy

 

It's definitely a highlight, I think it elevates the song, which is a bit kind of meh without this part tbh.

I really like this album, but feels like there's just a lot of parts which feel a bit dull and forgettable.

 

can’t really agree with either determination but respect your opinion! I Think There’s Something You Should Know was an instant fav for me even prior to that part. there’s nothing on this album I haven’t found value in or wanted to return to, personally.

 

I haven’t come back to this in probably a month.

 

It came out a month ago haha

still play this once a week

 

It has legs imo, but I don’t bat an eye at people who let it cool. It’s a very dense album with some very bizarre choices in style/pacing, but imo it paid off. A lot to love here.

 

Ive fallen off a bit myself - not to this degree but yeah

 

Maybe not a month but I listened regularly for about a week and then haven’t come back since.
