The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 109

Not sure who pointed out Justin Pierre as one of the great lyricists because the start of Wintering reminded me of MCS/Justin as a reference point

 

About You rules but the production, especially on the vocals, is a little jarring compared to the rest of the album.

 

(ep material)
i like it when you sleep = notes
being funny in a foreign language
the 1975
a brief inquiry

 

I love his vocals on that song. My favorite performance of his on the album

 

ILIWYS
ABIIOR
Notes
EPs
BFIAFL
1975

for now I guess. Can see this maybe moving up though. Love all of them a lot.

 

ABIIOR
ILIWYS
Notes
EPs
1975

Too early to tell for this one it’ll probably land just after ILIWYS.

Also I absolutely love all of these.

 

I love all of these records so much that there’s essentially no wrong ranking

 

ILIWYS
ABIIOR
Self-Titled
EPs
BFIAFL
Notes

Not set in stone because the EPs have been out for a decade and the new record is brand new

 

ABIIOR is still my favorite prolly

 

Idk how many cowboy bebop fans we have in here, but the opening of ‘About Me’ gives off big ‘space lion’ vibes

 

ABIIOR
Notes
BFIAFL
ILIWYS
S/T

 

ILIWYS
ABIIOR
BFIAFL (Could move up with time)
S/T
Notes
EPs

 

I can’t rank. I tell myself Notes is my least favorite, but then I remember Birthday Party, Me and You, Roadkill, Too Shy, Frail. It might have a few nonessential tracks, but it has some serious highs.

 

Too hard to rank but gun to the head

ILIWYS
BFIAFL
ABIIOR

ILIWYS is so very important to me I love it so much

imo fav ten songs might be more fun than album rank

Me
Frail State of Mind
Give Yourself a Try
Somebody Else
Paris
I Think There's Something You Should Know
Menswear
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)
A Change of Heart
Me and You Together Song
