The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 30

I think Notes is a mess, but like a very impressive mess. Even though the first 6 tracks or so is some of the strangest sequencing I’ve ever seen/heard on a record.

very much looking forward to see what they do with a 10 song record.

 

I wonder if the album cover was chosen as a symbol of the MFC era ending… especially given the departure stylistically of the first single/abandoning the long track lists.

 

Hmmmmmm

The best gay tryst ever?

 

Sort of out of the loop with the lead up to this album, but is this the Drive Like I Do album that was being recorded or is that something separate that's still coming?

 

I had that

 

something separate but it's not coming any time soon by the looks of things

 

Got to take a drive today and blasted this…it hits

 

this is me realising there's a third Bleachers album.

 

got ya. It's interesting that they made this so soon after Notes since I remember them hinting at not putting out anything for a couple years after that album. stoked either way though

 

I can’t stop listening to this. It’s so good. Gonna be such a great fall record too.

 

probably in the same situation as a lot of bands leading to this, like, 'so what we doing with the 18 months we were gonna spend touring Notes?'

solution: tour on TWO records, kinda

 

After listening to this way too many times, I think this may be one of my favorite songs they’ve released. It hits every spot.

 

Finally got to watching the video tonight. It’s so good.

 

at least check out "How Dare You Want More" and "Stop Making This Hurt," despite the production issues the songs themselves are top tier Bleachers

 

Indie stores are getting an exclusive white variant.

I think we'll experience the heat death of the Earth before we get that Drive Like I Do album.

 

Song is fine, Antonoff didn't fuck it up too much, lyrics make me hate Matty as usual

We back

 

new song is easily one of my least favourite songs by them after a few listens. hopefully it'll grow on me in context.

 

I think this band doesn’t really work for me anymore, unfortunately. I adored the first two records and thought A Brief Inquiry was cool but Notes was way too messy imo and I don’t like this new song whatsoever. I’ll check out the record but I don’t have super high hopes.

 

I feel like The 1975 will just never really allow themselves to have expectations. Like, the new single has me half-expecting to dislike the new record. But there's also a pretty good chance that even if I hate it, the next one will be completely different. I sort of adapted this mindset after Notes kept getting delayed and they were releasing really jarring singles. I just dug into it, took what I liked, and haven't paid much mind to the rest of it since.

They (nor anyone else, for that matter) will never make an album I like as much as ILIWYS, so I'm not gonna bother expecting them to.

 

I liked the first two records but fell off with the 1975. However, I’m obsessed with the new single. Can’t stop listening to it.

 

agreed

 

It always takes a new album cycle to remind me how much people who like The 1975 hate The 1975.

 

Really liking the new song. Took a few listens but it's a cool left turn after Notes. Stoked to hear what else they cooked up.

 

honestly this is my favorite first single they’ve ever put out. obsessed with this direction and i think this will easily be my favorite 1975 record.
