The 1975 – The 1975 (Vinyl)
The 1975 is the debut studio album by English rock band the 1975, originally released in 2013, the album topped the UK Albums Charts.
Their sound has been labelled electropop, emo, indie pop, pop, pop punk and pop rock (with funk and indie rock elements), while frontman Matty Healy described their style as "pretty experimental, and goes from glitchy R&B to big 80s powerpop to mid 90s soul, but it's done in our way obviously."
Dave Reynolds of Bearded magazine noticed similarities between the band's and Michael Jackson's story, and wrote that the "unmistakable '80s aesthetic" reflects a homage to Thriller. "A debut album with 16 tracks should never be able to capture and hold a listeners attention, but The 1975 make a damn good stab at it, with a record littered with pop hooks and imagination. MJ would be proud," he concluded.
Q Magazine defined the 1975 as "possibly the first band to take influence from The Thompson Twins, China Crisis and the long-lost Frazier Chorus. That makes them sound gloriously out of kilter, but the truth is that their jittery genre-jumping is impossibly now. Best of all, for all their rarely lauded influence, this is a band who sound like nobody else right now. Hugely intriguing,".
