The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 20

Unless it's a mock-up (I hope not), seems that way.

1975 - Being Funny In A Foreign Language (White Vinyl)

 

2pm premiere date listed on youtube. Im assuming thats my timezone so est.

 

Their best album cover.

 

"People" always had to be the lead single.

 

Sucks I won't be able participate in the explosion of this tread tonight when both the song and video premiere, but will for sure sift through the bajillion pages of discussion when I get back tonight

 

So intrigued as to what this record sounds like, I’m probably gonna stay up til 2am to hear it because I’m weak

 

This is my Christmas morning. This is my Super Bowl.

 

Huge disagree

 

People is a great single but it would’ve been cooler as a split A-side with the Greta 75

 

looks like someone didn’t wake up

 

Why?


I think it would have thrown more people off by releasing it later or not as a single.

 

Imagine hitting play on Notes never heard People until that moment, I would have fallen out of my chair haha

 

I think, like other people are saying, it would’ve been much cooler to hear in context the first time, and I think it sets up a really different record cycle than the one we got

 

Wow a 3 month roll out I’m shocked

 

Anyone else refreshing the stores every few minutes hoping pre-orders go up early or am I just crazy?

 

The beginning of Notes is easily the worst thing about Notes. Chop the first 3 songs / 10min of the record, turn it into a seperate EP, add a more traditional intro, and a 7/10 record instantly jumps to an 8.5/10.

 

Yeah I kinda feel the country-ish/folky side of the record could’ve been it’s own separate thing. They did it well, and that’s not to say I didn’t like it or whatever… it just kinda breaks things up in a way that drags the whole record down IMO

 

Idk, I think the country/folky stuff on Notes is the best part of the album along the 90s shit.

 

I love Notes but it certainly has flow issues ha

 

Love Notes. Just view it as sick summer playlist/mix tape with the genre switches.

 

I actually return to Notes the most of any of their albums for the past year

 

Notes is kind of a mess (I love it anyway), but the stretch from Then Because She Goes through If You're Too Shy is one of the best in their career

 

I didn't like Notes at first but it grows on me every single time I listen, playlist/mixtape is the perfect way to think of it

 

it definitely has flow issues and variable quality, but it's my second fav after the one before it

 

notes is perfect
