The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 89

man this is just fucking home run after home run. hearing them in such a tight, consistent format is a welcome change of pace, as much as i love and miss the sprawling eclecticism of their other records i think theyve tapped into something super special here

 

Looked up the date I'm going to and wow that's a lot of resellers and empty seats.. it was a mad dash to get these too.

 

I like this, some really cool songs here, Oh Caroline in particular is fantastic. This is easily the least I've been into an album of theirs on first listen though. There's a certain kind of vocal delivery he has on songs like Part of the Band, The 1975 and Wintering that I'm just not that keen on. Also feels like the slower, more acoustic based songs are less interesting than usual. Hopefully it'll grow on me.

 

Idk if it’s the production or what, but getting major anemoia from this record

 

damn about you is perfect as a pentultimate track

 

I’ll probably just wait until tomorrow to listen.

 

Man this rules. Wintering and the closer blew me away

 

you all are KILLLINGGGG MEEEEEEEE. I wanna listen to this so bad.

 

alright my initial listen was ridiculously good, i cannot wait to let this record take over my life for the foreseeable future

 

I’m unapologetically a huge Jack fan, so I am not surprised but I really like how this sounds. Works well for them imo.

 

Makes that last Bleachers album even more of a head scratcher

 

Human Too is fantastic.

 

The entire time i’m listening to About You i’m waiting for Matty to yell WITH OR WITHOUT YOUUUUUU

 

I like when Jack works with other artists but I don't think I've ever enjoyed a track that was *his*, or Bleachers or whatever.

 

Yeah the vocals feel lacking at times for me too - def a band album and less of a matty album

 

Not exactly a high bar to clear, but Wintering might be the best Christmas song I’ve ever heard, lol

 

Oh Lionel is what he actually meant

 

This is their "Achtung Baby", their "Hats"

 

Oh Caroline really is such a wonderful song.

 

Going in blind and this is so good

 

Apparently we are getting Matty and George solo records. I'm definitely more interested in the latter.

 

George as a producer is just a complete force of nature. Quite eager to hear what a solo album from him would be like. Can't wait to listen to BFIAFL tonight!

 

Some of Matty's best vocal performances on this record

 

this album is prettttttyyyyyyyy damn cool
