There is absolutely no excuse for sound this terrible in 2019. The mix completely ruined what could have been their best work.

If you can't find it in yourself to love the Fleetwood Mac vibes of Maddy, you are dead inside.

AOTY. These are the sounds of a band finding maturity amid their excess. There's purpose to every over-the-top synth and auto-tune. The praise is warranted and the backlash is expected. They're an easy band to paint in a negative light, but do yourself the favor of just turning it on and listening to it without trying so hard to find reasons to dislike it. Instead try to open your mind to the postmodern artists that The 1975 have become.

I went places.
