The 1975

Brought for my daughter who is very pleased with it. Haven’t had no complaints! It was packaged well and arrived on time. Would recommend!

The 1975 come on like New Model Army but sound like Prefab Sprout, overlaid with Muse minus the histrionics. On paper this does not seem like a particularly edifying proposition but, confoundingly, it very much is for the simple reason that the tunes are great.Lazy and snide comparisons with such '80s shockers as Duran, Simple Minds, Mr Mister and Cutting Crew don’t really hold up: The 1975 may be many things but AOR isn’t one of them. Equally, while generic Blue-Eyed Synth Soul is rightly deplored, there were in fact a handful of credible acts in this mode, e.g. Blue Nile, Scritti Politti and the aforementioned Prefabs. Those slightly artier leanings are, to my ears, far more discernible on this album, alongside other perfectly acceptable period influences such as Orange Juice, Talking Heads and Prince, with the latter’s groove-based method especially informing The 1975’s song writing style (you won’t find many profound chord changes on this record).Lyrically The 1975 also set themselves slightly apart – while the indie staples of small town boredom, dissolution and yearning are all present and correct there is also a refreshing strand of young masculine gender politics, wryly conscious of the broken contract that is ‘have-it-all’ feminism. Without this final element there might be reasonable grounds for suspecting it’s all a bit too good to be true: a finely calibrated jumping-off point for the captive market of girls about to outgrow One Direction.The 1975 is an accomplished and hugely enjoyable album containing at least six irresistibly catchy pop tunes, an eminently likeable vibe and an interesting new slant on what it means to be young and male in the second decade of the 21st century.

I had finally bought myself a record player so wanted to purchase my first record.It simply had to be The 1975. My favourite band and my favourite all time album. This album is what made me love The 1975’s music.Every single song is a great song and not one is skippable.It sounds great on my record player and I love playing it loud!The only downside to this purchase was the sticker that came on the cover, this left a sticky residue mark which was disappointing. It could of been put on some film on the outside.Overall a fantastic album, If you haven’t heard it I really recommend you have a listen. Even now they have produced new material this still is by far my favourite 🎧

I hadn't read any reviews on this one. I purchased their 2nd CD because of the reviews and was blown away by it and decided I'd give this debut a shot. So glad I did. This is one fantastic piece of work for a debut CD. Brilliant songs on this one, especially Robbers. This is a brilliant band with awesome songwriting skills and very talented musicians. I don't normally get hooked on a band at first listen, but this is the 2nd band I got hooked on at the first listen of their 2nd CD and had to purchase this one. Glad I did. This is some brilliant music and a change from the garbage that's out there today. Hopefully The 1975 will be around for a while. Awesome band and I definitely highly recommend both of their CDs. Guaranteed you won't be disappointed. I'm not. Finally, some awesome music!

1975 cd for my Ruark r4 player.Great cd.Fast delivery and still in wrapper brand new.Thank you.

I'm not usually a massive fan of alternative rock (dont shoot me if this isn't the correct genre) but after hearing The City, Chocolate, and Sex i gave them a more intensive listen on Youtube. After i heard Menswear half way through i decided i needed this album, i didnt even listen further at that point i just ordered it and downloaded the MP3 versions of all the songs and gave them a proper HD listen on my computer. Amazing album, the lead singer has an amazing voice.Take the punt and get this, so many good songs which i know will slowly filter into my most played playlist, like im sure 90% of other listeners will be thinking. Some great meanings and lyrics in here too, this isn't just catchy alternative music, this is good meaningful stuff if you decide to listen with a careful ear. A nice change, get it.

Saw The 1975 on the Williams Green stage at Glastonbury and they rocked the place, I then stayed after the Staves on the Other stage and they (the 1975) did the same again (the Staves were wonderful too). I also have tickets to see them with my 15 year old daughter in Brixton in January so I liked them already. The album is good but with the producer/band trying a little too hard to be arty in places losing a bit of the edge they have live. Great debut though and I look forward to seeing them mature and develop their style and I can excuse the slightly naive approach to the album.

These days it's hard to find a band who I can whole-heartedly say I adore and I want to take my money.The 1975, ever since I discovered them two years ago, have captivated me not only because of Matthew Healy's emotional, thought-provoking lyrics but also because of the pure talent and feeling in the music and melodies accompanying each song.I gave this album this particular rating because there is only one song on it that I'm not too fussed about, but even so I'll still listen to it simply because of Matty's vocals! ♥ Every other song I love.It's laidback or casual one minute and upbeat and flirty the next!What's not to love?
