The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 108

Finally listened to this and holy shit, fully echoing the hype now. Looking for Somebody had me fucking grinning as I listened (despite the subject matter), and About You is absolutely incredible too. I find it hard to believe they'll ever top Inquiry for me just because I'm so attached to that album but this is probably their first album where I wouldn't cut a single song so that has to say something (okay, maybe Human Too but it's not bad or anything lol)

What a fucking band, I can't wait to finally see them for the first time next month

 

My ranking is

ABIIOR>ILIWYS>NOACF>s/t

But I could see the new one either coming in on top or second

 

Brief Inquiry > ILWYS > The 1975 > Notes > Being Funny

 

Debut last. Can’t confidently rank the rest. Incredible band.

 

No matter how famous you are, your mum will still embarrass you

 

Also this band continues to rule. Honestly, I think this band still hasn’t put out a record below an 8 for me.

currently:

ILIWYS
The 1975
A Brief Enquiry…
Being Funny…
Notes On A Conditional Form

 

my bad for trying to give props to two cool people who worked on the album

 

ABIIOR > NOACF > BFIAFL > ILIWYS > S/T

 

1. ILIWYS
2. BFIAFL
3. ABIIOR
4. S/T
5. NOACF

 

Playing the entire album live on this tour is absolutely the correct choice. Hearing each and every one of these songs live is going to be incredible; the slow build of The 1975, the wall of sound of About You, the second half and groove of Human Too, and of course the bops, are going to utterly shine live. They better be releasing a Live Performance DVD/Album

 

Just bc

ILIWYS>ABIIOR>s/t>Notes

way too early to rank BFIAFL right now

 

ILIWYS
NOACF
S/T
ABIIOR = BFIAFL

 

S/T > ALL THE EPS > ILIWYS > FUNNY > ABIIOR > > NOTES

 

Hm.

ILIWYS
ABIIOR
BFIAFL
Notes
S/T


ILIWYS and ABIIOR are very close and could switch depending on the day.

 

Haha, I love this band's... sense of humor? Just caught the distorted "George, do the hi-hats now" in All I Need to Hear.

 

Just pointing out their contributions are minimal at best /shrug

 

ILIWYS
BFIAFL

Don’t really need to point out I think they’re all classics

 

payback for the 64 year old line

 

I gotta say I don’t think the self titled is all the great and I don’t really care about the eps!

 

This is my ranking as well. The top alternate depending on my mood or the season.

 

Agreed. One of their best imo.

Notes
1975

love them all.

 

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.
