Quark Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I....wait....what? It sounds like all the worst bits from all the car and technology ads of the last 5 years whacked into a blender. Is this seriously the band that gave us Time Is Running Out and Plug In Baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Wasn’t really into Give Yourself a Try but I really like The 1975’s new song. I generally preferred the album tracks on their last album too so hopefully that bodes well for the new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yessss that new 1975 fucking slaps. I liked Give Yourself A Try but this feels like the one I've been waiting for. They're going hard on the lyrical themes too - it might not be subtle but there's something undeniably powerful about one of the biggest pop groups of their generation just coming out and saying 'Modernity has failed us'.

Granted I never quite took to The 1975 like some others on here eventually did come album #2, but this isn't doing anything to change that. Plodding and boring. Was waiting for a chorus or some kind of big hook to pull me in but there just isn't much here to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lyrics are great on this one and I'll probably always laugh at "thank you Kanye, very cool". But, for me, the song itself isn't quite up to it. A bit of a boring slog. Chorus is pretty nice but not nearly enough of a payoff. Better than Give Yourself A Try in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1975 are a big boy band now, they don't need catchy hooks, they're about to release their OK Computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Drenge EP 'Autonomy' 5 October 2018. Not really digging this single at all, but hopefully another tour is on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Seems a bit better than their standard fare, even if it's because they've neglected to throw in some clichéd mantra over it this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like it could have gone somewhere bigger, but would like to hear it live. Think it would be one of those tracks that sounds massive live, and leads nicely into something faster.
