  • I regret overlooking this band now. The 1975 have released a new song called “Part of the Band” and to my surprise it has blown me away. I was no expecting that nor was expecting to almost cry! What do you think? Are you a fan of them already? Do you like this song?

    Honestly I think The 1975 is one of the best bands of the last decade. They've got some great pop songs, but also loads of more experimental stuff too, and they're fantastic live. A lot of people I know have them written off as a band just for teenage girls but I think they're genuinely fantastic artists.

      I agree!! Few artists are able to reinvent themselves with every album and explore multiple genres while keeping their identity and sound and I think that’s something to be admired. They’re a very exciting group of musicians. Looking forward to this next album.

      Yes! I second this.
      I really hope he tries them on for size. The INXS comparisons are apt....in many ways. But so is Talking Heads. Or 10 other bands I could list. The point is....Matty IS a genius songwriter and a really interesting human. And his band is one of the best there's ever been. They have LOTS of songs and albums and eras and vibes and moods etc etc. Start somewhere....and explore. Have fun. It might take you 6 months to get to that ONE song I'm convinced will change your life....but don't worry, it's waiting. They're that kind of band.

At the end of the Birthday Party he talks about his friends (the band) being the only thing that can keep him clean, and now in Part of the Band (^), the last line and the only one the whole chorus comes in for is a proclamation of how long he has been clean for.

    Adore this band. My ex-girlfriend got me into them and was just amazed by how great their hooks were and how much starpower their frontman had. I think the Love Me video hooked me. Very tongue-in-cheek but undeniably the guy is a star. Think it’s sexist bullshit people write them off cause teenage girls like them. Who cares? Loads of the greatest bands of all time were beloved by teenage girls, why do people assume the artistic tastes of teenage girls is inherently bad? Fact of the matter is the 1975 takes more creative risks than most other artists existing in the mainstream. I wouldn’t say it always pays off, but that fearlessness is what really makes all the difference.

    What you've said is 100 percent on the mark. They are INCREDIBLE songwriters and musicians who've released a few pop tunes and got branded a pop act. Lift the lid a little bit and you realise how clever they are. This is also a point of contention they get written off as just a boy band pop act or an arrogant, annoying and pretentious act. Personally I think they're one of the most important acts to come out in the last 10 years. Absolute perfection on every album and if I were you I'd definitely dive into them a bit more.

    "The thing that put me off about this band in the first place is the smugness... but what I'm hearing here is real sincerity and beautiful and withdrawn".
    Got it in one. There is an element of smugness to their music, as well as everything about the band, but it exists to wrap around the sincerity. Lyrics about French poets in the first part of the song followed by a riff on beat poetry after the first chorus, numerous references to self gratification, funny voices, and an arrangement that makes the song sound more complicated than it is. All this surrounding a simple song showing sincerity and vulnerability about isolation in the rest of the lyrics.
    They're a band that get criticised for making broad pop music by some people and making fake deep inaccessible arty crap by others, and tend to play on everyone's opinions and expectations of them to the point of self parody, while still showing that beauty and sincerity that makes their songs special. If you get a chance listen to their new single 'Happiness' for your channel, as well as the album A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships for yourself. I think once the smugness is put into context as more than just self gratification it's a lot easier to appreciate the incredible song writing and artistic merits of the band.

    The thing I like about them is there’s a lot of meaning and storytelling/scene setting in their lyrics hidden beneath very simple sounding songs, I think ‘Love it if we made it’, ‘The City’, ‘Somebody Else’, ‘Tootimetootimetootime’, ‘It’s Not Living’ are perfect examples
    Their songs when you just listen to them passively can sort of be taken the wrong way, like I can imagine some of their upbeat songs have probably been played at weddings and stuff with people not giving a second thought to how dark the lyrical message actually is

    I hear strong Paul Simon similarities in the vocal delivery and phrasing as well as in the music to some extent in this song of theirs at least.
    Paul had a knack for this type of cadence and delivery..
    Shear coincidence here?
    Possibly,or who knows?

    if you want to know where the name of the band came from, the frontman came across an old Jack Kerouac book once owned by someone suffering psychotic delusions, and he was struck but what the man had written around the poetry. at the back of the book was written the date “June 1, The 1975”.

    The lyrics are so complex and sophisticated, yet brought to a simplistic light with the instrumentation. Matt Healy is very observational with lyrics, and uses extremely clever metaphors and phrases. I'm the only one in my friend group of 3 who likes this song. I think it's a gorgeous tune with string instrumentation, lovely melodies, sounds of folk and acoustic (different to most the 1975 songs) plus clever lyricism.

    This song reminds me Simon & Garfunkel, and many 70’s stuff, i know its not for everyone (basically most of their Generic Listeners/ tiktok kids fans, fvck em, really hate them.) but this is a perfect example of maturity like i said
    1975 original fans know how they’re experimental and fun to their sounds ❤️

    It makes a double excitement.

  • @Joelyne37
    @Joelyne37 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I know I'm kinda late to this video but I just wanted to say that one thing I love about the 1975 is that they're a little unpredictable. Often their songs that go big have a very similar sound or vibe to them, but outside of that their music always surprises me. They're one of my favorite bands and have been for a long time and yet there's plenty of songs that I just don't like... not a lot... but a fair few considering they're one of my fav bands. And I love that. They aren't afraid to experiment with stuff. And plus I know that on a full album I'm going to enjoy majority of the songs, but the fact that they're willing to write and make some songs that goes outside of their typical formula that fans have come to love is great. And I think it helps make the songs that I do like better, because it allows them to test and expand their creativity. Matty, the lead singer, is a very smart and articulate person so one thing that's for sure is that the lyrics are going to be interesting, whether they're telling a deep story or it's just a bunch of rambling but with very clever wordplay, they're interesting. This song in particular is very different to their previous stuff and it definitely had to grow on me, but I do know that I appreciate their artistry and how they choose to push themselves even if it might not 100% be my cup of tea.

I heard a song or two years ago and thought they were good but just lost track until last Sunday my son said he was heading down to Sydney to see them. I immediately watched the O2 Arena video, Madison Square Gardens video and downloaded all the albums. Bloody fantastic melodies, sounds, performances. I now wish I'd known they were coming as I would have loved to have gone too.

    8:30 In 2017 I knew a few hits off their first two albums and much like you. They were within the circle of other alternative bands I was listening to at the time but had a off-putting feeling that stopped me from exploring their music more. Things began to change when their third album was released (and my friend invited me to their concert). I was pleasantly surprised by the performance and completely willing to listen to their discography. Their record label (Dirty Hit) has three other of my favorite groups (Wolf Alice, The Japanese House, Pale Waves), and what I've noticed is that they are not afraid to diversify their albums and explore the line between rock/pop and hard/soft music.
    Rarely ever leave long comments but I had a feeling you'd enjoy Wolf Alice a lot. Her voice creates the perfect balance and they are brilliant.
