LETS TALK ABOUT IT it’s Friday and quarantine got me extra bored @the1975
The 1975: oof. big call out for changing the way we do things. climate change is gonna end everything we know, y’all. Great Thunberg doing the spoken word was p o w e r f u l
People: they said “MCR” and also “wake tf up and get your shit together”
The End (Music for Cars): ephemeral and nice and also emotional whiplash after the first two???
Frail State of Mind: 30 seconds in and it’s a bop. Big “It’s Not Living If It’s Not With You” energy
Streaming: another instrumental boy. thankful for the emotional reprieve.
The Birthday Party: 2000s adult contemporary with a modern twist?? Ross MacDonald done popped OFF. Stickin with the “happy music sad lyrics” schtick.
Yeah I Know: *chefs kiss* ingenuitive. fun. laid back bop.
Then Because She Goes: sounds like a moody prom song from 2005. Good Charlotte? Still v 1975. V good
Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America: gonna make all the queer Christians v emo
Roadkill: somehow managed to be a song that sounds like it should be performed at Old Crow and also just smacking people with commentary. dang.
Me & You Together Song: the first 15 seconds sound like old CCM. Once again, thank you Ross MacDonald. Sad prom.
I Think There’s Something You Should Know: moody night drive ANTHEM. Mellow house vibes.
Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied: some SOUL. A hip-hop bop.
Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy): I’m a slut for a good horn section
Shiny Collarbone: just straight up a house track yes
If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know): the most typically-1975 sound so far, which Matty also says apparently.
So. Many. Horns. - once again, always a slut for a good horn section. Hallelujah.

Playing On My Mind: v emo. I have no comments. I’m in my feels.
Having No Head: another emotion reprieve thank GOD
What Should I Say: another night drive anthem and also somehow makes me & my anxiety feel seen and understood?? oop
Bagsy Not In Net: beautifully orchestral and v angsty all at once, somehow feels very apropos given the present state of things
Don’t Worry: right from the beginning, some more SOUL, amen.
Shoot. Look into this song’s backstory. This Album Made Emo Again

Guys: love song to your friends, v good album closer. Big 80s ballad energy
As a whole, album is very nice. Good for a road trip. Stuck with their current theme of sampling wide varieties of genres’ moods. Would be a good album to get on vinyl tbh bc it’s generally more more mellow with a few sharp spikes of Angst thats all thank for tuning in
thats all thank for tuning in
