The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 67

shut up!! i was listening to this earlier! I love Fly By Midnight!!

 

Their whole catalog is a vibe; when you're in that mindset where you just want to put on feel-good music, Fly By Midnight is always a great option

 

100% agree!!!!!!!!

I'm also sooo into Bad Suns, Dreamfone, Modernlove. and Sea Girls. They all have The 1975 vibezzzz.

 

Oh and Nightly is pretty fucking dope too.

 

Modernlove is as close to the "debut album 1975 sound" as you'll get; what they've put out so far has been great. Hopefully thye're pretty good live. Haven't heard of Dreamfone or Sea Girls before, so will for sure check them out

 

Modernloves song "Islands" is probably my favorite song of theirs.

Sea Girls has this song called "Sleeping with you" and it will literally rip you apart.

Bad Suns "Cardiac Arrest" Is a wicked banger too.

Dreamfone has a great song called "talking to myself" ...its basically about being ghosted.

 

Let me know what you think when you've listened to their songs!

 

Dammit, this song is really good

 

Matty Healy of the 1975: ‘If you’re still making art in your 30s you’re either wadded or good – and I’m both’

Surprised this hasn't been shared yet.

 

he is correct about twitter

 

I love reading his interviews. His takes and ability to articulate them is fascinating. He's so unabashedly honest about how he sees the world and the current cultural zeitgeist. I may not agree with everything he spouts, but I respect and understand where he's coming from most of the time. Usually when I've seen him "cancelled" on Twitter it was the result of a lack of understanding of who he is. I wish people would understand that him following Andrew Taint or Kyle Rittenhouse are not endorsements but rather the fact that he enjoys observing culture in all forms.

 

He's been cracking me up on his IG stories lately

 

happiness has some of my absolute favorite 1975 lyrics

 

also the outro lines of part of the band really speak to me on a personal level

Am I ironically woke? The butt of my joke?
Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke
Calling his ego imagination?
I've not picked up that in a thousand four hundred days
And nine hours and sixteen minutes, babe
It's kind of my daily iteration


for some reason my mind instantly juxtaposes that with "Paris,"

I said "I'm done, babe. I'm out of the scene"
But I was picking up on Bethnal Green
She said I've been romanticizing heroin

i think that right there shows a clear evolution and growth in his character and how much more honesty he has now in recovery, a quality that just flat out disappears when you're caught up in an addiction, believe me, and that is why this man's writing still hits me straight in the gut. he gets it. he knows what ive been through. it feels like hes speaking directly to me and giving me advice. i just really relate to his perspective.

 

Kanye/Black Sabbath/The 1975 mashup…what in the world?

 

That's not bad honestly, better than expected. I also surprisingly enjoyed the lead single from his new album so I might check the whole thing out soon.

 

wow. that was pretty cool

 

This is the song I was referring to, I heard it on the radio without knowing who it was and got big My Chem meets Billy Idol vibes

 

The Paul Meany track is good too.

 

That's actually what put me more towards trying the whole album, when I saw he worked on a track too. Do you like it overall?

 

It’s not bad. Not in love with it though.

“It’s another album with a clear inspiration from the early years of pop-punk wrapped in the online teenage culture of today’s aesthetic. I enjoyed a few of the songs in a similar way that I did the new Blackbear, they’re catchy, and they play within a space I’m familiar with and enjoy,but they don’t hit me at an emotional level.”

 

Makes sense, this is the vibe I've had from him overall so I'll probably agree, I'll check it out soon.

 

I really liked two songs from his last album and feel like he has potential to put out something I'd really like but always seems to make choices that don't work for me for the most part.

 

I actually saw Yungblud do an instore earlier this week. He was a great performer and engages with his fans in a really wholesome way.

These are my faves from his new album if anyone wants a place to get into it.

 

I like the first yungblud album quite a bit and the new one is solid
