This is pop, pure and simple, and taken as such, is a rollicking pleasure. The 1975 is rammed with hits from start to finish, and the cornucopia of singalong phrases, gorgeous melodies and grin-worthy guitars will keep you either A: enthralled, B: boogie-ing, or C: both.
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.
If lyrics like, “If you wanna find love / then you know where the city is,” still satisfy some unrequited teenage dreams, then The 1975 should fulfill that naïveté.
The infectious pop thrill that attends the singles “The City”, “Sex” and “Chocolate” soon tarnishes through the sort of repetition that suggests their eclecticism isn't quite as broad as they imagine.

Some of the best material this bands ever made is on here, like “Robbers” and that closer, which DAMN that shit was nice! ... read more
O álbum auto-entitulado da banda britânica 'The 1975' aponta para uma direção e localidade qualitativa de um nível maior que a média geral de sua época, com suas ideias criativas e estética inspirada, porém (infelizmente) seus criadores ainda estavam muito distante de chegar até tal ponto de excelência musicalmente falando, o que acabou por gerar uma obra essencialmente despretensiosa e que falha pateticamente em ... read more
