The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 98

This band lost me a bit with releases after ILIWYS... but god damn this record is flawless. What a first listen. Headphones and chilly walk listen coming up after work.

 

This band will never be as big as Dua Lipa

 

She's cool and all, but I don't own any of her albums and I've never seen her live.

I own every 1975 album, went to two tours and tell anyone and everyone I know about this band 24/7.

 

On About You yeah this record is fantastic. They did it again

 

Human Too needs more love very vibe-y

 

Second half is a top 5 moment imo

the way people autoshare st*ve h*den reviews even though he's just terrible... they should do that with maura johnston pieces instead

 

Maura is god

 

What was that one REALLY bad Steve Hyden review?

 

Really disappointed with this one. Prolly wont be coming back to it.

 

you'll have to be more specific

 

there's always one

 

Haha, I thought there was one particularly ignorant one that rightfully set a lot of people off but I could be thinking of someone else entirely.

 

Man, I really expected to not be into this based on the singles, but damn, it's great.

 

Eh I like Hyden

 

I know he really pissed Will Toledo off to where he deleted the review or feature or whatever

 

Did he do the Get Hurt review?

 

Only just gotten round to watching the interview with Zane Lowe. Love how angry he gets about paid meet & greets and his idea of artists being forced to personally take cash from every fan as they come up (+ his takedown of Jared Leto lol).

On my second full listen and this album really is special. Never thought the intro to any of their albums could be my favourite song on that album but this one is just so gorgeous and upsetting and I can't stop going back to it. I'm guessing Oh Caroline will be the last single off this but I really think Looking for Somebody would be huge.

Blue galaxy vinyl is more white & baby blue :/ still kinda nice

 

sorry i didn't mean to jumpstart a discussion about the worst music writers ever, pls just focus on that good maura review and this album

 

Wow they made a consistent sounding record. I absolutely love this. Probably gonna end up as my favorite of theirs with ILIWYS close second.

 

Also the last three songs are the best they’ve ever written

 

last song is my favorite, I think
