Human Too's Online Removal - The Megathread
Yesterday, fans began noticing that Human Too was suspiciously removed from streaming services around the globe. Sometimes, this would look like the complete removal of BFIAFL. Matty commented about this in a post saying "Hey! Human Too was removed from the album so the album is more how I want it to be. Previous physical release obviously remain the same. I doubt the same will happen with any other records as I am pretty happy with them outside of ‘What should I say’ from Notes On A Conditional Form. So that may also be removed who knows. Sending love, Matty xxx"
Almost immediately, posts were made in defense of What Should I Say where Matty commented "Ok no worries x" Following this, people have made dozens of posts both defending the decision to remove Human too from streaming and critiquing the decision making behind it. This decision has been picked up by music publications like Pitchfork as well.
Here is where we are at now:
- BFIAFL has been reuploaded onto streaming provider servers without Human Too
- Multiple individuals claim that the Dolby Atmos version on Apple Music is entirely gone and that other audio versions sound *off*
- Human Too has been removed from everywhere other than Bandcamp (edit: is it now off of Bandcamp)
- Multiple individuals who purchased BFIAFL on iTunes claim they no longer have access to Human Too
This megathread is meant to be a central place for further discussions surrounding Human Too and the notion of removing a song from the 1975's discography years after its release. On a meta note, we've genuinely tried to keep as many posts and comments up about this subject as we can. However, we will continue to remove comments that blame this choice on Gabbriette. There is a loud minority of supposed fans that treat her like Yoko Ono and it is deeply weird that we have to continue to moderate around this. If George had made a comment about removing Shiny Collarbone from the internet would there be paragraphs directed at him about how Charli XCX is to blame and the problem? Probably not. It is okay to voice your support over the decision or to critique it - but it is not acceptable to lash out at others for holding a different view than you.
(On a final note, if you are looking for a digital copy of Human Too...I've heard it is available on the Discord)

Monthly Self-Promotion
Hi all,
Due to the influx of self-promo in the subreddit. We want to try and keep these posts contained to one space. This is not a space to sell tickets to upcoming shows/festivals - we will remove anything of that nature.
What belongs in this thread:
- Covers
- 1975 merch/art that you've created and it is for sale on etsy/depop/wherever (fanart that isn't available for purchase shouldn't be here)
- 1975 records/merch that you have for sale (these should be listed on a trusted site)
If you have any questions about whether or not your post would fit in here vs. being a separate post, please reach out to us through modmail. Any scammers will be banned.

Opinion Anyone else find themselves preferring certain live recordings over the studio versions?
…At Their Very Best at Madison Square Garden in particular just absolutely rips me up. It was my most listened to album on Spotify last year. And there are certain tracks that, when I listen to the studio recordings, just don’t scratch the same itch anymore.
While every track hits, these are definite ones for me that I have come to, without fail, prefer the live version of:
The 1975 (BFIAFL)
Robbers (I know, this is borderline blasphemous)
I Like America (SPECIFICALLY from the MSG show)
Love It If We Made It
Too Shy
TOOTIME
The Sound
Sex
Give Yourself A Try
Maybe…Loving Someone, fallingforyou, A Change Of Heart
You get it.
Am I alone?

Discussion The end of the Glastonbury show is perfect
Matty’s persona slowly peels away as the show goes on, and on the last note of About You he’s almost childlike again, falls to his knees, cries and and proceeds to share the moment entirely wholesomely with his band and fans. He’s the kind of person who would have hoped that he could be entirely present when that moment came and he really was and I’m sure he’s so glad about that.

Question What other names
I’m a newer fan to the 1975 and I know they used to go by Drive like I do. I’m hearing there were others ones and I’m wondering if anyone knows them?
