The 1975

The first album of five from The 1975-- this album brings you into a whole new world, Manchster style. The brash music colliding with Healy's pleading vocals cause a stir. Their number 1 hit "Robbers" was introduced on this album, and it changed the path for the band to grow. Amazing artists, and here's where they started. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

I was first introduced to this band courtesy of Pandora. I loved the song 'Chocolate' so much, I started hunting for other music by The 1975 and finally broke down and bought the CD. There isn't a song on this disc that I don't like. I absolutely love the Amazon feature that gives you the .mp3 files for free (with a ton of extra tracks in this case) with any CD purchase (as long as its sold by Amazon). It allows be to have the music both in my car and downloaded on my phone to listen to while I'm walking. I know most people just buy the .mp3 version of music now, but I feel like something is missing when I don't have the CD for a favorite band. Plus, my car only has a radio/CD player, but I still love having good old CDs.The CD was packaged very well and arrived at my house in perfect condition still in the plastic wrap that comes on all new CDs. The disc has played perfectly and is still in perfect condition after months of owning it and listening to it frequently. So thanks for introducing me to this band Pandora and thanks to Amazon for still carrying reasonably priced CDs that come with .mp3 files too.

Gift for my grandaughter.

Honestly never heard of "The 1975" until I started to explore a few band in Pandora.Listening to Foster the People, Empire of the Sun, The Midnight, and others. I was exposed to a few of "The 1975" songs. This led to purchasing a few singles from amazon. Before long i was hooked, I ended up buying the entire album.Its an original sounds, with original lyrics.To my it brings up fond memories of 80s music with the some of the sounds and effects.I personally wouldnt dance to it, but I find it immensely good in my running mp3 player.The 1975 are, and will remain in the front of my Pandora and Amazon music rotations.

The media could not be loaded. it’s perfect & sounds good! these are very thin & easily damaged though, so be very careful with them & don’t scratch them immediately like i accidentally, regretfully did! :)

I just recently discovered, after a few decades, what it's like to be a fan of a musical group. The last group I paid this much attention is the Kinks, or maybe Van Dyke Parks. The musical range is broad and well done, the albums a intellectually tight. I appreciate that.

Finally got to listen to this excellent debut after seeing them perform their single "Chocolate" live on Conan, and I'm glad I didn't just stick to the singles this time, even though their are plenty on the album. In fact, the singles consume the first third of the album, making it easy to jump into. However, anybody who owns the album knows that the real gold is in the rest of the album, showing its face after the first intermission at track 7. Each track is moderately to very mellow, nearly lo-fi, with obvious digital bass and digital effects holding throughout the entire album, but with professional instrumentals well mixed with vocals that left me having eargasms every other track. If you do not like the vocals immediately, I swear you will eventually. Anyway, in my critical listening of the album, I was pleasantly surprised with the subtleties hidden behind the instruments and vocals which were simple to spot at this quality of mixing. Each track has a rich and interesting melody that is unique to the band yet no track sounds the same. My only complaint is with the intro and two intermission pieces. They are pointless. Usually tracks like these are lead-ins to the next song or just interesting instrumental pieces, but they sound like cut-off tracks that never had vocals dubbed. A little confusing, but I won't hold it against such a good and, overall, pretty long album.Moral of the story - This is a fabulous debut, and you would do yourself a disservice by sticking to the singles or ignoring this album.

The LP arrived in great condition, and plays perfectly!
