It’s a great pop record with plenty of depth (a rare thing) that will prove divisive

They haven't got the curse of the sui generis band, condemned always to churn out decreasingly exciting simulacrums of their original statement. For the 1975, what comes next might be even better

The 1975 is far from a perfect album. But in many ways, its flaws are part of its charm. The musical shortcomings and stylistic incongruity actually strengthen the character and theme of the album

Musically, The 1975 sounds like a mix of post-Britpop like the Arctic Monkeys and classic new wave akin to the Talking Heads

The fizz fades quickly, and the effect, over the course of the album, is a little like a promising new band introducing and re-re-introducing itself to you

However confusing the whole thing, to call 'The 1975' a strange beast would be to suggest it had a discernible personality. It doesn't. Even magnolia paint looks like a Pride flag next to this
