There's a lot of 80's style synth, just check out the intro to 'Heart Out' and you'll know exactly what I mean. The influences run thick and deep here and it really shows. There are, of course, a few slower tracks on the album, '12' being a stand-out one, but it doesn't tamper with the flow in any way, it's more of a bridge than a proper track anywho. The album has all your favorite The 1975 tracks, 'Sex', 'Chocolate' and 'The City' feature as do awesome new tracks like 'M.O.N.E.Y' 'Girls' and 'Menswear' Don't get me wrong, the EP tracks aren't terrible, but I felt the overall cohesiveness of the tracks wasn't there and it worried me.īut do you know what? They've only gone and bloody nailed it. But then there were spaced- out, downbeat, ponderous tracks like 'Anobrain'.
The upbeat, pop influenced bounce of songs like 'Sex' had mass appeal and it would surely propel the lads from Manchester into the stratosphere. After (in my humble opinion) a few dodgy EP tracks, I wasn't entirely sure which direction the guys would go. There was a stage where I felt a bit uneasy about how good it would be. I've been waiting for this album since about September last year and it's finally here.
