RaraBitch 527 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I discovered this album last fall and it is simply amazing. It's faarrr from your typical alt album with its unapologetic and satire lyrics and topics. The "woke" culture in the album is what really got me, with its unapologetic in-your-face lyrics about getting cancelled for being a racist, ageism, having a h*rdon... It's just My favorite part is the obvious queerbaiting and the constant breaking-the-fourth-wall style of lyricism. It's kind of like listening to the raw process of songwriting while listening to a discussion, if that makes sense, especially in 'Part Of The Band' and 'Oh Caroline'. I know the fact that Matt Healy (the lead singer) is problematic, but he seems to acknowledge it and even mock himself in many of the songs. And have I mentioned that the production is literally flawless? 'I'm In Love With You', 'Happiness', and 'Oh Caroline' sound so CRISP and there's a lot of small details. Mr Jack Antonoff did not disappoint. The album is a perfect followup to Jack's previous works, including Solar Power & Dance Fever. It's so upbeat and fun, and may not appeal to the geepee at first, but it's such a high album in my opinion, and the critical acclaim only proves that Favorite lyrics: "Mum's not a fan of that line about her back. She said it makes her sound frumpy and old. I said, "Woman, you are sixty-four years old" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emili0 1,477 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 For sure one of my favorite albums of last year. The production is for sure the highlight - it’s such a cohesive piece from start to finish. Favorites: The 1975 Part of the Band Happiness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
