sjb2k1 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The songs they played live when I saw them are 80s style pop in all it's super poppy glory. and yet you hated Beta Love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 But yeah we'll see I'm not quite sold on what this album will be like yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retep Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I just wish they'd release official info about the variant difference of US vs. UK, if any exists. Easily a band that should and deserves to get bigger, super nice guys and solid performers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maintreqd Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 FYI according to the email i got from Dirty Hit Records about this, the "coloured" 2xLP UK variant will be 180g transparent vinyl. FWIW, the email links to amazon.co.uk for the vinyl preorder. Not sure if ordering from the band's UK website will be any colour variant other than the clear, or what.

Good to know, thanks dude. Kind of want to still listen to the record before I order even though I know half the songs on the record (maybe a little more) and they're all fantastic. For 30 bucks I want to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 i have the US copy of IV on cd. it's great. my kids love it too. i will def. be buying this. That's the one with just the singles on it and not the actual EP, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maintreqd Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's the one with just the singles on it and not the actual EP, right? the UK version has 3 new songs along with the rerecorded version of "the city". in the US though you're right - IV was just the previously released singles (except the rerecorded version of "the city") plus "Me" and "You" (also previously released songs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's the one with just the singles on it and not the actual EP, right? yeah, it has: the city sex chocolate you me i think. maybe not in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 yeah, it has: the city sex chocolate you me i think. maybe not in that order. Sounds right. Gotcha. Was always confused what the hell actually happened there. Dumb how the US label used the same name as the latest EP yet it's not the latest EP.

nardes Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The whole album is streaming on SoundCloud (and other sites... I think I saw where it's on Spotify, but am not positive) Good good stuff! I preordered my copy from amazon... only $24.99! https://soundcloud.com/the1975/sets/the-1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I just heard these guys two weeks ago after having seen them on a late night talk show and forgetting to look them up. I really like them. As soon as I can I'm going to put down for the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maintreqd Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 how confident are we that the variant being sold on the band's UK site is the same one that will be available on amazon.co.uk? If it seems like they will be the same i'd rather get it faster for less coin shipped to the US and cancel my order with the band's site... I was hoping for something a bit more colorful than clear but at this point it seems like that may be it. anyone have any insider info?

I was hoping for something a bit more colorful than clear but at this point it seems like that may be it. anyone have any insider info? Almost sure. There's a UK release and a US release. Based on the label situation I'm almost sure it's a one variant release per label. So the UK one should be the same. Where do you know it's clear?

maintreqd Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 it was mentioned in a dirty hit email I received about the PO that said it was 2xLP 180g clear vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to find out if there's a difference between the US and the UK versions. I'll wait until people start getting both in to figure that out.

music_nut Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pretty brilliant to put 4 songs on each vinyl side. The full record is about 51 minutes in length, which is def too long for 1 vinyl disc. I actually only realized this when I started reading through this thread. Thanks! FYI, they just released the album as a free SoundCloud stream in advance of the release.

maintreqd Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 just canceled my universal uk order and ordered thru amazon uk instead. ordering for a friend we saved $30 between us for the same variant and likely faster shipping. no clue at all why there's such a huge price diff. ridiculous.

NJDevils1214 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Loving this album thus far. She Way Out, Robbers, and Settle Down are pretty awesome tracks. I'll be getting my LP soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maintreqd Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 she way out doesn't really do anything for me, kinda boring musically I think and the vocals just stay in a box throughout. but besides that song and money, this album is so so killer. heart out/settle down/robbers is such a sick part of the record. also compared to the live version from Berlin, settle down on the album is a huge improvement from a production standpoint. anyway this will be on repeat for the next 2 mos. can't wait for that wax.

cwhitmuzik Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Funny, since I've seen Settle Down live twice and I prefer the live version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maintreqd Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Funny, since I've seen Settle Down live twice and I prefer the live version. I def love it live too. I guess what I meant is the album version had a few more surprises compared to the album versions of the other songs on that live from Berlin set. the echoed vocal line on "bout you" and the vocal melody in general (low vs high octaves) at times were different. </nerdout> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
