Oct 14, 2022I was pretty disappointed by this album as a 1975 fan, it felt very unoriginal and flavorless compared to their other projects, with their sound becoming even more cliche sounding making it feel extremely disingenuous. The only song I found some slight enjoyment in was about you because it’s slow longer length made it seem like some care was put into it.

Oct 17, 2022The songs click almost immediately, but they’re subtler and pricklier than a first listen would imply, with unexpected twists like faint spoken-word samples and odd bits of distortion on guitar and piano. And the 1975 uses these textures more tastefully than much of the music that inspired them.

Oct 14, 2022Fifth time around, The 1975 get the equation right: pop first, art later.

Oct 14, 2022Healy has smartly introduced a measure of restraint, but it wouldn’t be a 1975 album without his idiosyncratic discursions; these songs, sturdy melodic creations at their core, are all the better for it.
