The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 88

Bless their hearts for realizing the only band good enough to go on before them is them

 

How come there’s no review here yet?

 

Oh Caroline is CRAZY

 

I think I'm in the minority of listeners who enjoys every song they've ever put out. To varying degrees, of course, but I haven't heard a song by them that I have no interest in listening to again. This album is no exception. I do really enjoy it on the few listens I've gotten in, but I will say I do miss the more electronic/explorative stuff they were doing like on Notes. There are lots of bands also making great music that sounds like this (BFIAFL) but there's not as many artists out there making music like "Frail State of Mind". So I'll be excited when they return to making music in that style. I think its nice that they've kind of repositioned the band's sound and focus and put together something shorter and more cohesive that they're (rightfully) proud of. But I don't really expect any less from them at this point.

 

I think this is their best since ILIWYS

 

I haven't heard this yet but I agree with most of this. I really hope they explore more of that "Frail State of Mind" sound at some point. That's definitely my favourite song by them at this point.

I think "Part of the Band" is actually my least favourite 1975 song and it's still really good!

 

agreed here. i love this album and this band is perfect but i think just as far as personal preference goes, i was more interested in the weird/glitchy/sampley sound they were getting into on notes. but that’s okay!

 

Also, I'll say that oddly enough I'm not usually one to pay attention to lyrics on the first few listens because if the lyrics are good but the music is trash, I'm not gonna revisit the song again anyway, and I can ignore bad lyrics for really good music. But on first listen this line stood out to me and made me lol

Now mum's not a fan of that line about her back
She said, "it makes her sound frumpy and old"
I said, "Woman, you are sixty-four years old"

I love his lyrics when they are very straightforward and human, like the way he actually talks.

 

Gwen gets it.

 

Yea oh Caroline is the best song of all time

 

Oh Caroline definitely gives me like, Peter Gabriel vibes.

 

I need a whole album of Carolines. Just pick 11 females and go...

 

I’m an idiot and I do not know how to find a leak if someone could help me out lol

 

This is out there?!?! Some uh…help…would be appreciated

 

Same

 

wow the intro track wowwwwowowowow

 

Listening again. Happiness is so good haha

 

stunning opener wow that took me

 

happiness is still one of the best songs of all time

 

My girlfriends first comment upon hearing Happiness: "This sounds like Bleachers"

 

maybe if bleachers were good

 

Alright someone’s gonna have to hook me up please and thank you

 

yeah oh caroline is the one

 

"happiness" sounds like the 1975

 

I have a whole plan for tonight to enjoy this. WE MADE IT! Very excited to be at the CT date for the first show of the tour.
