BuzzJack Music Forum _ Indie, Rock and Alternative _ The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
Posted by: TMD_24 28th April 2017, 03:57 PM
The 1975 has announced A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships as the name of thier 3rd album. Give Yourself A Try is out tonight.
Posted by: Jacob. 28th April 2017, 04:25 PM
They've already got an EP called Music For Cars though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_Cars_(EP)
Interesting that they'd reuse a name like that, tbf most of the EP ended up on their self titled.
Posted by: All★bySmashMouth 28th April 2017, 09:49 PM
Darn. They sure refered to the 2013 EP.

The 1975 have just posted this cryptic message, hopefully we will get more info soon!
Posted by: lewistgreen 2nd May 2018, 09:52 AM
A countdown to June 1st has appeared on their website!
Posted by: gavindeejay 2nd May 2018, 10:32 AM
Sounds like the date for the new single then?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th May 2018, 02:23 PM
Picture from the new video! Can't wait, Matty looks a bit like Gerard Way here.
Posted by: Dexton 20th May 2018, 02:30 PM
They've been posting some weird stuff on twitter too that I think is hints at song names
Posted by: HarryEzra 28th May 2018, 04:21 PM
New music coming out thursday!!!!

It's called "Love" and is the Hottest Record on Thursday.
Posted by: HarryEzra 29th May 2018, 11:34 AM
According to Matt Healy it's called 'Give Yourself A Try'

The lyrics are very quotable, fingers crossed the song lives up to them! So hyped for this! 
Posted by: lewistgreen 30th May 2018, 05:27 AM
Being insta-added to the R1 playlist apparently.
Just because it was listened to doesn't mean it will be added on Friday as they listen to loads of songs before making a decision. I would highly imagine it will be instantly added because the station's love for the band but never take a randomer's post on reddit as gospel.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 30th May 2018, 09:35 PM
I'm very interested to see what the sound for this single will be like, I'm hoping it's like Sex.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st May 2018, 03:49 PM
The song has leaked, and it's very different from what I was expecting. It's very guitar-heavy, it reminds me a bit of The Strokes. I really like it.
Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 31st May 2018, 06:17 PM
Looks like they have scrapped the Music For Cars name and gone for "A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships"
Going with the long titles names I see. 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st May 2018, 06:20 PM
He has said Music for Cars will be the name of the 'era', and will also include the next album next year.
Posted by: mdh 31st May 2018, 06:56 PM
THE STROKES??? f*** I'm so ready to listen to this
Posted by: mdh 31st May 2018, 07:05 PM
This is good, but sounds like a COMPLETE ripoff of 'Disorder' by Joy Division
Posted by: DalekTurret32 31st May 2018, 07:40 PM
I think the title change was to avoid confusion with their EP Music For Cars.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st May 2018, 08:21 PM
There is currently a livestream on The 1975's YouTube counting down to midnight, I'm assuming it's the video but there have also been rumors of an EP!
Posted by: Steve201 31st May 2018, 10:33 PM
With this being album 3 and having a HR premiere on Annie Mac I think it will be instant added perhaps even into the B List as theyreat their peak popularity now imo.
Posted by: liamk97 1st June 2018, 11:37 AM
SURELY it's a sample? It's like the exact same tune!
This is okay but the sound of the guitars are a little grating. Not sure it's one I'll return to.
Posted by: Steve201 1st June 2018, 07:25 PM
Not far wrong then!!
Posted by: Dexton 7th June 2018, 07:02 AM
This is okay but the sound of the guitars are a little grating. Not sure it's one I'll return to.
It's definitely a sample
I like how they've used Disorder and the two songs do have similarities in theme lyrically but I feel like they could've toned it down a bit more I'm really liking it so far though"A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships" is album 1 of the "Music for Cars" era, with "Notes on a Conditional Form" being album 2 and coming out in May 2019. I think it's fitting that this era is called Music for Cars, since that was the EP that gave us Chocolate which was/is their biggest and most defining hit.
Posted by: Bré 10th June 2018, 11:59 PM
'Give Yourself A Try' is an absolutely killer comeback from them, think it might actually be challenging 'Chocolate' as my fave song of theirs to date! Such an earworm.
Posted by: Midge 11th June 2018, 07:41 AM
It's tough between "Love Me", "Chocolate", "The Sound", "A Change Of Heart" and "Somebody Else" for me - though "Give Yourself A Try" should slot nicely in there somewhere longterm. I am really liking it. Though I can also understand why someone doesn't.
Posted by: lewistgreen 16th June 2018, 01:28 PM
Give Yourself A Try is definitely one of the best songs around right now, it's grown on me so much!

http://www.musicweek.com/talent/read/we-re-doing-things-differently-inside-the-1975-s-two-album-campaign/073023
There will be one new single released a month, so the next one should be very soon!
Posted by: HarryEzra 3rd July 2018, 03:48 PM
I thought the album would be called Music For Cars?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 3rd July 2018, 03:53 PM
It was, but now Music for Cars is the name of the 'era', which includes this album and another album out in May titled Notes on a Conditional Form.
Posted by: HarryEzra 3rd July 2018, 03:55 PM
Ah okay that makes sense.

Love It If We Made It is releasing tomorrow at 5pm!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th July 2018, 04:17 PM
Ok, I LOVE this!
Posted by: Steve201 19th July 2018, 06:46 PM
This isn't a hottest record?? Must be a grat?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th July 2018, 06:51 PM
It premiered on Beats1 radio, I think a few of the singles from I Like It When You Sleep... did.
Posted by: Steve201 19th July 2018, 10:56 PM
So it is a second single then?
Posted by: Midge 19th July 2018, 11:09 PM
Well this went right over my head on first listen. I felt that way with "Give Yourself A Try" though and I grew to love that very quickly. I also got over it quickly after it felt like I'd be rinsing it for ages.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st July 2018, 06:24 PM
Their manager Jamie Oborne has confirmed there will be a video for LIIWMI.
Posted by: SevenSeize 27th July 2018, 12:18 AM
Love It If We Made It is damn gooood *.* the second half especially, hoping the album keeps up to that standard as i wasn't that keen on Give Yourself a Try (which just sounded like they took the Disorder riff and made it 10 times screechier)
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st July 2018, 12:46 PM
Some new song titles and descriptions have been revealed from the album, I'm really looking forward to I Couldn't Be More in Love!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th August 2018, 12:34 PM
https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-1975-new-single-tootimetootimetootime-2364440
The second single is called 'TooTimeTooTimeTooTime' and is out on August 15th, apparently LIIWMI was just a promotional single.
Posted by: Steve201 8th August 2018, 08:04 PM
LIIWMI is damn good for a grat!! This official single better be damn good!!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th August 2018, 08:17 PM
According to the fans who appeared in the music video, it's the song that Healy described in The Guardian as:
I'm very intruiged!
Posted by: Hans 10th August 2018, 02:36 PM
Totally intrigued for new material - getting to really like "Love It If We Made It" now - heading towards the 'love' zone! Think it's gonna be an era of needing to let the material grow but that's fine with me!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th August 2018, 06:35 PM
It's very different from what I was expecting, it's gonna take me a while to process it before my thoughts.
Posted by: mdh 15th August 2018, 07:03 PM
Pretty crap for their standards.
Posted by: Steve201 15th August 2018, 07:19 PM
Could be huge imo!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th August 2018, 07:51 PM
Right: time for my thoughts now I've 'digested' it
It wasn't at all what I was expecting, a lot more pop than I thought. But it's grown on me a lot over the listens. I'm happy each one of the three singles sound completely different from each other, I love The 1975 because they experiment a lot. I can easily see this being their biggest hit, it already has a great position on the Spotify playlists.
Posted by: mdh 15th August 2018, 08:51 PM
It's very 'One Dance'... in a weird way. Regardless of how good it is, I can see it being a top 10 hit at the least.
Posted by: Hans 15th August 2018, 08:59 PM
I like this on first listen - the most instant of the 3 on first listen. I'm really on "Love It If We Made It" at the moment.
Edit: I like it even more on second listen. I think it manages to sound commercial and like a hit without them having sold their soul. It still feels very The 1975. Comparison with Years & Years who sounded like they'd sold their soul for "If You're Over Me" (to me anyway).

Posted by: JosephAvery 15th August 2018, 11:08 PM
It's definitely more of a hit than anything else this era and it's catchy too, I've got it in my head after it's finished which is always a good sign. What bothers me though is how low the vocal is in the mix - I feel like I can barely hear him!
Posted by: Jester 18th August 2018, 07:53 PM
TOOTIME is the 1975 do Daft Punk and I approve heartily.
The 3 songs so far from this album have all been ace. Looking forward to it!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th August 2018, 07:55 PM
The title of this topic is bugging me, it's 'inquiry', not 'enquiry'.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd August 2018, 07:52 PM
There is a poster at Reading Festival saying '30 November', so I assume that's when the album will be released. Just 3 more months!

The Spotify vertical video has now been uploaded as the official video:

Is every intro on their album called The 1975? Legit going to become my most played last.fm track
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th September 2018, 07:19 AM
So far, yeah!
There were some rumors that on this album the first track would be titled Music For Cars, but it seems not.

New single 'Sincerity is Scary' releasing on Thursday!
Posted by: gavindeejay 11th September 2018, 04:10 PM
Is it a single or a Grat?
Posted by: Mack. 12th September 2018, 10:25 PM
Might be a grat, I would think.
Posted by: Steve201 12th September 2018, 10:43 PM
They seem to be going with TOOTIME and with an album release on 30/11 the pre album single should be released around mid October. I do hope they keep the biggest release for just before the album!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th September 2018, 04:03 PM
Another smash! It reminds me a bit of This Could Be My Dream.
Posted by: Hans 13th September 2018, 08:45 PM
Really not sure I'm feeling that new track on first listen... though I wasn't sure on "Give Yourself A Try" and "Love It If We Made It" at first and grew to love those (particularly the latter).
Posted by: Rooney 20th September 2018, 09:49 PM
I'm really enjoying this era, some good tracks.
Got tickets to their tour next year via the Spotify presale!

It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) releasing this Thursday!
I'm really excited for this one.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th October 2018, 05:15 PM
LIIWMI video released, very powerful!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th October 2018, 06:32 PM
This is amazing! Reminds me so much of the first album.
Posted by: gavindeejay 18th October 2018, 07:01 PM
Really like this! I think it’s the best they’ve put out from this new album!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th October 2018, 08:33 PM
I agree, I'm also getting Pale Waves vibes from this!

Sincerity is Scary video coming soon!
Posted by: Hans 30th October 2018, 08:46 PM
The new one is really growing on me now! Really looking forward to this album.
"Sincerity Is Scary" has been the only one I've not been fussed on but I'm sure it'll sound good in context of the album.
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 30th October 2018, 08:57 PM
I still cant believe this album is a month away. This album release feels like forever.
Posted by: Steve201 31st October 2018, 10:25 PM
Same here - strange it didn't get a release this week or last like planned, wonder if that'll affect the sales as we clearly will have ANOTHER single before release which may get smothered in the Xmas rush although I feel they are hyped up as a big pre Xmas release even though they're an indie release which tends to not do as well in a very MOR time of the year!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 31st October 2018, 10:29 PM
I don't think they're releasing another single before the album.
Posted by: Steve201 1st November 2018, 12:30 AM
So will the current single be TOOTIME or that other one doingthe rounds at the mo?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 1st November 2018, 04:06 PM
It's Not Living is on HHUK at the moment, so I assume that one.
Posted by: Steve201 1st November 2018, 09:15 PM
Yeh - prob my least favourite they've put out there. Looking forward to the album still tho! Could be my personal Xmas no1 😮
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 1st November 2018, 09:18 PM
I think my current ranking would be:
1. It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)
2. TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME (it's so damn catchy!)
3. Give Yourself a Try
4. Love It If We Made It
5. Sincerity is Scary
I absolutely love all of them though!
Posted by: Steve201 1st November 2018, 09:20 PM
Mine would go like this
1) Love it if we Made it
2) TOOTIMETOOTIME
3) Give Yourself a Try
4) It's Not Living
5) Sincerity is Scary
Posted by: Rosemary 🔪 1st November 2018, 09:50 PM
1. TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME
2. Love It If We Made It
3. It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)
4. Give Yourself A Try
5. Sincerity Is Scary
INL(IINWY) has potential to rise to 2 or even 1 in this list though.
"TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME" spent 3 weeks at number 1 in my chart in September and is in my top 5 of the year-to-date 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th November 2018, 04:00 PM
They are also filming a video for It's Not Living, it would be nice if it was an entirely visual album!
Posted by: DexTheHalls 14th November 2018, 03:23 AM
TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME has grown on me quite a bit lately but I can't say the same for anything else they've released so far :/ I imagine this will be one of those albums where barely any of the tracks really hit you individually but as a whole the album will still be great to listen to.

First reviews out!
"The band of the decade" - Q Magazine
"Stunning" - Pitchfork
"An absolute stone-cold-legend masterpiece..." - NME
"The band's third album is their best yet" - ES Magazine
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 17th November 2018, 10:59 PM
https://i.imgur.com/uK0EiZ8.jpg
The first full review is out from Q Magazine - and they've given it 5/5!
Their favourite tracks from the album are:
It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)
Inside Your Mind
Love It If We Made It
I don't think I've ever been more excited for an album, bring on November 30!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th November 2018, 04:23 PM
https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/1975-brief-inquiry-online-relationships-review
Another 5/5 review - from the NME!
"They've only gone and made the millennial answer to 'OK Computer'..."
"Matty Healy and George Daniel are not just the most accomplished and creative duo working in pop right now but the closest thing we have to a present-day Lennon and McCartney, a pair whose golden touch makes them near-enough unassailable."
Posted by: Steve201 19th November 2018, 04:45 PM
Looking good for the sound and sales for this! Anyone think it could open with huge sales?
Posted by: DalekTurret32 19th November 2018, 06:41 PM
I'm not sure what to think of this whole five singles before an album comes out, remember Muse's Drones with six of its tracks being released before the album even came out (I still thought it was a great album nonetheless). I would prefer two or three before that album's release because then there's more exciting anticipation.
Here's how I would rank the singles:
5. It's Not Living (If It's Not Without You)
4. Disorder Give Yourself A Try
3. Sincerity Is Scary
2. Love It If We Made It
1. TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME
All great tracks.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th November 2018, 06:45 PM
To be fair, Drones had 12 tracks, this has 15!
(and 16 on the Japanese edition)
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st November 2018, 06:16 PM
Fantastic video, very fun!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st November 2018, 07:35 PM
What date? I don't think they're going to release another single before the album.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 26th November 2018, 08:32 AM
It's leaked! I'm not going to listen to the whole thing until Friday (I hope), but I skipped through some of the tracks and its sounding incredible!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 26th November 2018, 07:19 PM
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) should definitely be pushed next - very 90s Britpop sounding!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 29th November 2018, 07:46 PM
Just a few hours until it releases! An acoustic version of unreleased track '102' has been released, it's apparently a bonus track in Japan as well.
Posted by: Steve201 29th November 2018, 09:13 PM
This is an album I will be adding to my library at midnight on the dot - surely not a Christmas no1?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 30th November 2018, 12:55 AM
Incredible album! I'll post my fill thoughts tomorrow!

Was about to post how nuts that is
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 1st December 2018, 04:23 PM
Wow, what an album. I've already listened to it 3 times and each time has been amazing.
This is the first album I think I've ever listened to with absolutely no dud tracks. I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) is one of the greatest tracks they've released, and a brilliant closer to the album.
I love how nuts The Man Who Married A Robot / Love Theme is. It's slightly creepy as well.
Posted by: Steve201 2nd December 2018, 02:24 AM
It is creepy lol, listened to the album once and wasn't bowled over but I think it will grow on me as I like how diverse it is!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 3rd December 2018, 04:21 PM
Oh yes, it's definitely very diverse! Most albums I can't listen to all the way through because it all sounds the same, but I love how different each and every track sounds, whilst still being similar due to being about online relationships.
Posted by: jakewild 3rd December 2018, 05:28 PM
flawless
Posted by: Rooney 3rd December 2018, 07:30 PM
Taken me a good 3-4 listens, but I am really digging the album at the moment. Originally there were a few tracks I liked, but it's growing on me so much. I still think all the singles are the best tracks (and obviously the most commercial) but I really like how honest and open the album is. It's kinda refreshing.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 7th December 2018, 08:28 PM

Not expecting that at all! Maybe they’ll recover a little?
Posted by: dobbo 9th December 2018, 01:21 AM
This record is only going to grow from now. It'll keep getting beaten over and over again like with the highest weekly streams record.

Well this is a grower already!

"It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)" is THE banger isn't it. Future classic
Posted by: Christmasteve201 29th December 2018, 12:43 PM
Hope it can repeak in the next few weeks!
Posted by: SLlewellyn 29th December 2018, 02:00 PM
It's stabilised in the lower end of the T40 now at least (current run: 1-33-37-39) - I was not expecting the album to be THAT front-loaded.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 29th December 2018, 03:54 PM
It'll recover well over the next 2-3 weeks as it's 6.99 now as well!
Posted by: Conderella 29th December 2018, 04:33 PM
I seriously doubt that.

Resonates with me more than any upbeat "party" song this year bar maybe something from SOPHIE or JPEGMAFIA.
Posted by: WhovilleOdyssey 30th December 2018, 06:00 PM
Based on what they've released up to now (I'm sure they'll be more classics in the future), I think their most remembered songs in 20 years time will be Chocolate, Somebody Else, The Sound and It's Not Living. Possibly Sex, TOOTIME and I Always Wanna Die as well.

Who’ll remember 1975 in 20 years time though?
Posted by: WhovilleOdyssey 30th December 2018, 06:22 PM
They'll 100% be remembered in 20 years time, and further.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 30th December 2018, 06:26 PM
I know even for the first two albums imo!
Posted by: WhovilleOdyssey 30th December 2018, 06:27 PM
Definitely!
The Smiths were never 'massive' in the 80s, but they had a cult fanbase and incredible albums which led to them still being very fondly remembered.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 30th December 2018, 08:54 PM
Indeed, they did enjoy decent singles chart success by the totp repeats although more top 30/20 hits!!
Posted by: dannjohn 31st December 2018, 10:25 AM
why did they drop so far? their literally one of the most popular bands right?
Posted by: WhovilleOdyssey 31st December 2018, 11:56 AM
They are, but they're very fanbase heavy. A lot of fans bought several copies of the album as cassettes, vinyl etc with tour tickets and t shirts.

"I Always Want To Die (Sometimes)" is really starting to hit me now They've already had 3 #2 hits and 1 #1 in my hot 100 from this album. Very consistent. Oddly I haven't given the album much time yet, only 2 or 3 listens.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 4th January 2019, 11:51 PM
Same here that'll change this week now Xmas is over. Don't think we will get another release as they will move into the second album in the coming months!!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th January 2019, 11:30 AM
The 1975 are performing on The Graham Norton Show next week!
Also, the stage design for the UK tour is insane
Posted by: Queen Rosemary 12th January 2019, 12:03 PM
Which song? "I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)" hopefully!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th January 2019, 12:12 PM
I imagine it will be It's Not Living, as that's the one on the radio at the moment.
Posted by: Steve201 12th January 2019, 02:45 PM
Good promo - hopefully boost the album again.
Was trying to go and see them in Belfast this week but couldn't afford it 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th January 2019, 06:08 PM
Nominated for Group and Album at the Brits - they've got this!
Posted by: Steve201 13th January 2019, 02:04 AM
Great news!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th January 2019, 07:01 PM
Looks like I Like America & America Like Me will be the next single, hopefully we get an official video soon!
Posted by: Steve201 18th January 2019, 11:24 PM
Thought we would have moved straight onto album 2 this year, good to see thoigh!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th January 2019, 03:54 PM
I don't think we'll be seeing the next album until the second half of the year at least, they have time for a couple more singles I think.
Posted by: Steve201 20th January 2019, 03:39 PM
I assumed more that the album would have 2/3 pre singles like the last so thought they'd move on quickly!
Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 20th February 2019, 10:23 PM
Winner of the Brit Award for Best British Album!
Posted by: lewistgreen 20th February 2019, 11:20 PM
and Best Group
Posted by: Dan17F1 21st February 2019, 07:41 PM
Love It If We Made It is Greg James’ time of the week on Radio 1 next week so I think that confirms it as the next single!
Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 21st February 2019, 07:47 PM
Apparently they've filmed a video for I Like America & America Likes Me, so we'll probably get that around late March/early April.
The lead for the next album is out on May 31st.
(though they still haven't released the She's American video from a couple of years ago apparently because they were angry Trump won)
Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 22nd February 2019, 10:46 AM
Yep, Radio 1 have playlisted it! (complete with censors
)
Posted by: JJAAKKEE 22nd February 2019, 11:00 AM
horrid title
the follow-up is equally contrary
Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 24th February 2019, 01:52 PM
Video breakdowns coming soon!
Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 25th February 2019, 08:09 PM
This is both informative and hilarious
"AND I DO MAKE ART, THANK YOU VERY MUCH"
Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th April 2019, 07:42 PM
This just confirms that Matt Healey is a piece of ****
He has the nerve to say that when they release Drake rip-offs 
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th April 2019, 07:47 PM
That's one quote, from over 2 years ago.
I don't agree with that, but this is such a strange time to bring this up - especially as he's changed his view on this since.
Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th April 2019, 07:48 PM
It’s currently doing the rounds on Twitter as Dan from Imagine Dragons has done an interview but artists who trash-talk their music.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th April 2019, 07:49 PM
I love Dan, but I do think he needs to try and ignore negative comments - every musician receives them.
Particularly Foster The People, as Mark's comment was clearly a joke.
Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th April 2019, 07:50 PM
Did you just say that Tootime sounds nothing like Drake’s song? Did I read that correctly?
EDIT: nvm, you removed it
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th April 2019, 07:52 PM
EDIT: nvm, you removed it
I removed it because I was trying to stay out of negativity, but yes.
And calling Matty a piece of shit for a comment when he was in a negative part of his life (he went to rehab not long after that time), yet supporting Cardi B with what she did is ridiculous:lol:
Posted by: Liаm 11th April 2019, 08:02 PM
Whenever he said it, that article is a perfect representation of why I can't stand him and his pretentious attitude 
You do realise people can dislike your fave and you don't have to get defensive and pull into question their opinions etc?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th April 2019, 08:04 PM
You do realise people can dislike your fave and you don't have to get defensive and pull into question their opinions etc?
Yeah, but it's just not even relevent to the topic of this album.
Posted by: JosephAvery 11th April 2019, 08:04 PM
Even Matty himself described TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME as "Drake-y" it's definitely inspired a lot by songs like One Dance.
There's no harm posting other 1975-related stuff in here, it's not like there's a general 1975 thread to discuss matters like that. It's a bit of an arrogant statement to make, I must say. Matty's a talented musician but I always hate it when artists diss other artists in that sort-of way. It's unnecessary and just makes you look twatty.
Posted by: JüperBass 11th April 2019, 08:08 PM
U can also defend your faves tho it cuts both ways x
Its not like people don't on other threads...
Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th April 2019, 08:09 PM
‘Not related to the album at all’. How come it’s alright for you to post non-album related content then?
This made me laugh so hard!
