Rating Being Funny In A Foreign Language


Being funny in a foreign language

11) About you

This one will definitely have to grow on me. After first listen it hasn’t quite connected with me but not all of their songs typically do after first listen.

10) The 1975

The bands best intro song to an album yet! It sets the album up perfectly with hints as what is to come specifically, Matty’s experimental vocals which is a reoccurring theme throughout the album.

9) Part of the band

I was confused as to why this was the lead single for the album. I get it now. Probably Matty’s best lyrics on the album. Unique song!

8) Human too

Another song showcasing Matty’s improved singing ability which I have really noticed throughout this album. Another great song will probably be higher on my list after a couple more listens.

7) When we are together

Another great outro song to a great album. “Central Park is SeaWorld for trees” is a personal favourite lyric from this song. Gives me birthday party vibes.

6) Wintering

What sounds like Matty making a promise to his mum that he will be “home on the 23rd”, gives this song replay value at Christmas time.

5) I’m in love with you

Probably the most 1975 sounding song on the album. Felt as if I was listening to a love story during this part of the album.

4) All I need to hear

All round beautiful song!

3) Happiness

This will probably be my most played song of the year so would maybe be at number 1 if I hadn’t heard it so much.

2) Oh Caroline

Caroline is a lucky lady getting 3 songs about her back-to-back. The 1975 in their element delivering a catchy hook.

1) Looking for somebody (to love)

The sound of the keys creating a bouncy 80’s vibe does wonders for this song. Can already tell this song will be even better in person. Flawless album!

Rating The 1975 self-titled album

The list 16) An encounter This lyric less, ambient song creates an atmospheric mood from start to finish. 15) The 1975 This intro song sets the tone for the album and prepares you for what is to come. 14) Talk! Matty Healy said this song contains the best lyrics off this album, however, is a lesser favourite of mine. 13) The city This song used to be much higher on my list however has dropped off overtime. 12) Is there somebody who can watch you? Matty’s most personal lyrics within the album. Beautiful sounding song accompanied by piano to close off the album. 11) 12 To me this song does what an encounter tries to do but better. Beautiful! 10) M.O.N.E.Y This song is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. I love it! 9) Pressure Great song but I do think this song sounds better live due to mainly the saxophone player. 8) Girls Just like the city, this song used to be higher on my list. Great song, nonetheless.   7) Heart out The repeated vocals throughout the chorus do wonders ...

Rating Hugo by Loyle Carner

Hugo 10) Georgetown Interesting pick for the second single for the album in my opinion. I like his flow, but I am not a fan of the instrumental, it gets repetitive. 9) Blood on my Nikes I like the context of this song as it discusses the knife crime epidemic within the UK however, as a song it will have to grow on me. 8) Speed of plight Good song, Loyle Carner definitely feels in his element as it’s clear to hear however, this is a reoccurring theme throughout the album so would have been nice to hear him step out of his comfort zone more. 7) Nobody knows The last single for the album, very similar vibes to isle of Arran which is a banger. It’s not quite as good but still amazing. 6) HGU Great song to close the album, love the off-beat drums throughout the song and the passion in the vocals. Drumming was on point in this album. 5) A lasting place Such a vibe! Would be higher on my list if the audio clip was took out the song to be honest. Only downside of the al...
