4. Notes On A Conditional Form (2020)

“There are a number of bright spots throughout The 1975’s long awaited fourth studio album. These are primarily the singles from the album released prior to the album in full. The album is certainly more experimental then the past three, which leads to varied results. This album certainly has some hits that will stick, but also contains lots of filler. In no means a bad album, just not their best.” I would still absolutely recommend it to any serious 1975 fan.

3. A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018)

“A rock critic slowly rises from his rocking chair and shuffles over to their study. They begin to thumb through every book on the shelf and finally pull one out. The writer slowly blows the dust off the cover of the weathered book. The title simply reads “2018 Think Pieces”. As the critic looks through the book, memories of the past year’s writings flood back into their mind. They finally reach a blank page. The critic grabs their pen, ready to write their next great piece. “The 1975’s ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Dating’”. The critic begins to frantically jot down every narrative they can imagine: “Is rock truly dead?”, “Was this really the next OKC?”, “Will this album define a generation?”. The critic flips the page and stops writing. A silence creeps over the study as the critic peers at the book. A solitary tear falls on the page. The rock critic realizes that there are no pages left in the book. All those wild thoughts flee the old rock critic’s mind and they are left with nothing. The critic puts the book back on the shelf and shuffles back to the rocking chair. In the quiet house, the critic finally speaks, “If only I hadn’t filled 90% of the book with thoughts on Greta Van Fleet….”

2. I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it (2016)

“While The 1975’s first release was great, it was a considerably more standard pop album. This flow and feel of this, strangely, still *sounds* like The 1975, but it’s everything but standard. I do think that this CD, for some people, might land firmly in the camp of “requiring multiple listens” to warm up to, but if that is the case, then multiple listens you should give it! As long as you listen with open ears and a hungry heart, you’ll undoubtedly find something to love about this release.”

1. The 1975 (2013)

“This first full length album by British alternative/indie rock band The 1975 could easily be mistaken as one by a much more experienced band. Rarely is a freshman album this well-produced from start to finish.



It took me hours to get through the 50 minute album, because I kept coming across songs that begged to be replayed over and over – I dare you not to dance and/or sing aloud to “Settle Down” and “Girls”. Upbeat rock singles that were previously released on EP – Sex, The City, Chocolate – fit perfectly within this full length album.



In a time when most songs are purchased individually, it’s even more rare to find an album in which every track can be enjoyed – well-worth the purchase of the full album, and be prepared to keep it going on repeat!”
