Have heard of the 1975 on their album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (if I remember the title correctly), which was a very good album. Have not checked out their latest release yet, but I am happy to review this GAN within the next days. Cheers, HĐ (talk) 16:09, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dude if you liked ABIIOR, you’ll love this album, it’s even better. Thank you for reviewing the article. Cheers! Giacobbe ^talk 18:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will do! There is so much new music going on that I haven't even checked out the latest Taylor Swift album despite being a Swift enthusiast lol. 10:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

• The song was co-written by band members wouldn't "The song was written by" be sufficient?

• Contemporary music critics reacted favourably to "Guys", who highlighted the song's The grammar is a bit off here; probably "Contemporary music critics reacted favourably to "Guys", highlighting the song's"..?

• number 40 in New Zealand, number 85 in Scotland, and number 96 on the UK Singles Chart I'd suggest changing to the country names altogether for consistency

• The Edge gave it 3/5, which is rather a mixed review presumably... Did the site say anything unfavorable about this song?

• They didn't say anything negative about it lol, the exact words were: "'Guys' is definitely simple, but genuine, and that makes it, in my opinion at least, another good song from The 1975." Giacobbe ^talk 12:02, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall a well written article about an interesting song. I enjoyed reading about the song's conception and message, which really moves me given that hardly anyone nowadays (perceivably) cherish platonic friendships to the same extent as sexual romantic relationships. Once my comments are addressed I'm more than happy to pass this review. HĐ (talk) 10:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HĐ: All done. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the article! Hopefully I can convert you to a 1975 fan lol! Cheers. Giacobbe ^talk 12:02, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to pass this GAN. Well done again! I'll check out more works by the 1975 if I have time definitely, HĐ (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
