May 22, 2020Brilliant sonic soundscapes and a huge range. This is a superb album - varied, vibrant and vital!
-
May 25, 2020the great part of the album is varied, The 1975 shows us that once again they are not only an indie band but they know how to go further than their base genre.
-
May 25, 2020Dope album. Only band putting out new music with anything meaningful or thought provoking.

May 22, 2020Its beautiful chaos. Notes on a conditional form is some of the best work that they have done. Each instrumental gives you an opportunity is digest the album as it goes along navigating through genre after genre with that 1975 take.
-
May 25, 2020the first listen is a lot, as this album has a lot to say... but damn it only gets better every time
-
May 22, 2020Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show stopping. Spectacular. Never be the same. Totally unique. Completely not ever been done before.
-
May 22, 2020The "lack of purpose" is the most personal, honest and pure trait of the album. This is about what modernity really is, they know about it and somehow they found a way to "embrace it" through the hole concept of the album. I'm speechless. This is pure art.

May 23, 2020Excellent “album”...body of work. Diverse, masterful and huge production. So many notable influences summing to beautiful originality. I’ll spend a lot of time with this album

May 22, 2020Not on Brief Inquiry level but still good.. i feel like the more i hear, the best it turns
-
May 22, 2020Goes off in so many different directions and there really is a song for everybody on this album. Personally for me it features some of the best work they have done, along with some randomness, but thats what you have to expect with The 1975!

Jul 9, 2020This is a bit of a lesser follow up to their previous work but Matt Healy once again connects with the youth and millennial culture by cashing in on all of the tropes and anxieties of being young.
-
May 25, 2020I was anticipating something even better than their previous album, but I guess that's kinda fun, too. However, Notes on a conditional form has some perfect songs.
-
Jun 2, 2020They excel in any contemporary style. The band of our times and hopefully our future.
-
May 29, 2020Overlong but brimming with classic 1975 stylings. Hard to despise and the highlights elevate the project far above the lows. "Roadkill" and "If You're Too Shy" are the songs every artist dreams of making.
-
May 23, 2020I waited so long for it, I've been blessed. Very different from the previous albums but just as good.
-
May 22, 2020This album is great but some songs like Roadkill, Shiny Collarbone and Yeah I Know should probably have not been included in the album. I think the pushing back of the album was negative knowing that more songs were going to be in the album. The singles are great. Maybe they should have shorten the album by 12-15 songs, not have 22 songs on it.
-
May 7, 2021in my opinion, their worst album. that said though it is still a decent and enjoyable record.
-
Jun 17, 2020I do admire The 1975's ambition, experimenting with different genres, and making the album's scope MASSIVE. (The album's length is a whopping 80 MINUTES!)

Aug 30, 2020Despite everyone else, I believe that this is their best album. NOACF shows us their evolution and their ability to explore different genres of music. It's a perfect body of work. A masterpiece.

Nov 24, 2020Una muy buena produccion, aunque cada cancion tiene generos diferentes estan muy bien cuidadas y realizadas y tiene hits como if youre too shy let me know, guys
-
Jul 2, 2020It was a nice album, starting between two very coherent songs, but the album continues in different directions between electronic indie rock and 90s even dancehall rhythms, the goal of sound experimentation is remarkable, but I am missing the common one. thread.

Oct 27, 2020Iconic. A completely different experience. A album with the excellent quality of variation. The 1975 know how make music with a lot of genres.
-
Nov 6, 2020A weird album where if you put it on shuffle the album flows better. Although everything sounds good and musically sounds unique there is no cohesive sound meaning that the whole album experience isn't as good as picking singles out and listening to them.

Aug 3, 2020A Brief Inquiry is a hard album to top, and Notes is, perhaps, the most disjointed and unclassifiable of the 1975’s works. It serves best, perhaps, as a long and intermittently lovely outro to that defining record.
-
Jun 16, 2020Notes on a Conditional Form is a fantastic 12 track, 45-minute album. It’s just a shame that The 1975 decided to make it into a 22 track, 80 minute one. There’s certainly enough going on to recommend repeat listens, but the quality level waxes and wanes so much throughout that it won’t take you too long to find your favorites and start returning to just those.
-
May 27, 2020The diversity is so vast and so well done that it’s almost commendable. Mainly though, it’s just a bit much for one sitting, and instead feels more like you’re listening to The 1975 radio on Spotify.
