    Album lacks any sense of energy, soul, unpredictability. Sounds like the album is made in a factory, churning out little buzz so-called indie pop groups ready to be boomed over Journey's PA systems across america. Tracks drag, and never reach a bridge or climax and boredom ensues. I just wish people would try a little harder to expect more from this type of trash.

    The LP mostly forces unconvincing emo lyrics into a bloopy 1980s package.

    The 1975 is far from a perfect album. But in many ways, its flaws are part of its charm.
