The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 103

Before I knew Jack was involved in this (learned that when I opened this thread) I thought “Oh cool they lifted some tricks from Jack Antonoff”. It’s the way some of the instruments are produced and mixed. He has a very distinctive type of off-kilter sonic thing he favors

 

Honestly didn’t even think of Jack at all during my first listen, despite knowing this thread was talking about him on this album

 

finally listened to the album

 

THIS ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE

 

Human Too really growing on me with subsequent listens, so many layers/textures/flourishes that really bring out their best, really great performance from matty

 

just picked up the only copy my local Target had on vinyl (unfortunately our local record store closed down a couple months ago). sounds fantastic over my setup.

 

This album didn’t take its time before digging its claws into me

 

I’m feeling multiple full discography runs coming on

 

I think the lyrics are phenomenal and extremely touching. They’re hitting me quite deep. The themes of coming out of a drug addiction, falling in and out of love, societal woes and just trying to exist in this world as someone who used to do hard drugs and built an image around that but no longer uses is prettttty much what my entire life is about

 

Wintering tho

what a fucking song

 

Not huge on Looking for Somebody

 

same tbh

 

I mean I like every song but if there's one I would cut it would be that one

 

Human Too is the only one I don’t love. Sounds like a brief inquiry to me.

 

I get some bon iver vibes in human too

 

I think I'm almost at the point where I love every song except Part of the Band and Human Too

Looking for Somebody is such a jam.

 

Part of the Band might be a top 10 1975 song

 

Top ten worst huzzzzzahhhh

 

About You really is THAT song

 

Matty is so earnest on this album and I really admire that about him on here

 

he really is

 

I gotta say I’m not in love with About You. It’s good, but the songs hugging it and Human Too are better

 

John's obsessed with fat ass and he's ten years old

the fearlessness he approaches this album with inspires me as it should any artist who hears it

 

baffling

maybe give it more listens? I promise you it's better than you might think but then again someone might say that about a song I'm not as into and be completely right

I just feel it might be a grower, for some at least. as for me, it was very immediate

 

It’s good. I just think the sound they hit on Wintering and When We Are Together is more novel/they hit it in a better way. I’ve heard their About You/Human Too before
