Skip the intro and get straight to the review at: 1:58 The 1975 is not a band I would have thought to do in my series - their first album was nothing I was interested in - and despite my brothers repeat attempts at getting my approval, they simply turned me off musically. However, my brother being as stubborn as I thought to bring over their recent release and have us do a review together, which I couldn't resist the opportunity to break this one down and find all it's flaws. Nevertheless, after two full spins - I actually kind of like record. It's full of interesting attempts to bring their teeny bop fun brand of indie synth rock into a more diverse and atmospheric landscape. . .and for intent alone I think it's worth at least one good listen.

It's nice to hear the influence of modern music making a difference finally- -by that I mean that most bands harness their influence (or so it would seem) from bands of the past; it would seem that The 1975 has been influenced by many modern bands in that the album has a real M83/Postal Service type vibe - and in that way I find it refreshing. Also, his vocal has certainly improved significantly since the first album.
