Has the eFests poptimism committee ruled on the new 1975 album yet? It's getting good reviews. I wanna listen, but I need a green light!

Do. Report back. Take one for the team.

Beiber's new "trendy" sound is rubbs tho, he wants to learn a thing or two about bangers from his mate Carly Rae Jepsen.

His album Believe was better than his latest. Full of pop bangers. But I like the new one too.

 

I'm sure my opinion is rendered worthless by my views on Bieber. But I'm a big fat no on The 1975.

I should never have mentioned Bieber...

No takebacks! My Bieber to replace Muse petition is doing very well

You guys realise Emily is reading this thread and wants to make sure she pleases the efests crowd in 2017 after our lukewarm response to this years' headliners? So cut the Bieber talk.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention it on here actually but I think it's good, albeit maybe not quite as good as some of the reviews I've read. At 17 songs it's a bit long and could definitely do with 3 or 4 songs being cut from it but on the whole I like it.

But they're not allowed to make a good album. We hate them, right?

The 1975 have always been shit, and it's got the worst album title ever, I thought somebody was having a fucking laugh when I walked into Piccadilly Records the other day and it was right there in the good new albums POS. Even if it's the best album ever made by a person I wont listen to it, but I bet it's appalling.

Yeah, sorry, don't know what I was thinking. Back on the anti-The 1975 team.

I saw them a couple of years ago when they were first starting out. There seemed to be a noticeable difference between the songs they wanted to play, and the ones the record company had clearly told them to write if they wanted to have a hit.

Yeah I get what you mean. Some of their best songs are the more sort of dream pop stuff from the early EPs which never made it onto the first album, although to be fair to them they included a few on the new one.

i have, this very evening, been introduced to their music.  it's not to my tastes, but then i am a grown up, for better or worse.

Can someone not start a 1975 thread so they can fuck off out of polluting this one?

The 1975 are so shit they fuck my grammar up.

Accidently saw them perform a couple of their songs at Longitude a few years ago. Couldn't get away fast enough to go see parquet courts instead I think. The singer is an insufferable bell end. So will be giving their album a big fat swerve.

The Insufferable Bell End Swerve is Glastonbury 2016's new dance routine, following on from the Lionel Richie one.

The Insufferable Shitting Bellend Swerve might be more your pace. Long drop doors clanging for the beat

Yer the reviews seem a bit cray. Comparisons to Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, Mogwai, Kate Bush, M83, Brian Eno, Scritti Politti... They do mostly boil down to what you said about being too long and obviously that's a complaint for real albums more than this 1975 nonsense! I'll probably try and get around to listening to it this weekend but it does look long for an experiment, which is why I wanted opinions first.

Yes. I can not.

Top 10 words from the new 1975 album title anyone?

Funnily enough, I did that dance while Lionel Richie was on and that's why I was elsewhere.

Who has the time or inclination to carry out Corpus Analysis on the 197fucking5?!

Well either Latitude are playing fast and loose with the meaning of the word "exclusively" or the Other Stage Saturday Headliner slot just blew wide open...
