Healy’s poetic sensibilities shine through, as the song ominously imparts a piece of advice: “Don’t fall in love with the moment and think you’re in love with the girl.”

The result is a catchy song about an affair with an American girl who likes Healy because he is British. The best song on the album is “She’s American,” which mixes guitar riffs with melodious saxophone. The phrase “I’ve lost my head,” is heard on multiple tracks on the album, culminating to the song “Lostmyhead.” This sentiment is also heard on the “The Ballad of Me and My Brain,” which is a fun, upbeat song with dark undertones that take the listener on a journey with Healy as he searches for his missing brain. This album heavily revolves around Healy’s mental state following an onstage breakdown in late 2014 and an admitted addiction to drugs. “Love Me,” is pure pop with a funky twist that laments the superficiality surrounding fame. Strong pop beats on the singles “Love Me,” and “UGH!,” sound like songs straight out of the 80s. But the sound also stays true to the band’s musical roots, which were planted in their first album. The result is a sense of anticipation for the rest of the album. The album starts with grandiose choral sounds on the track “The 1975,” which takes the opening song from their first album and amplifies it with distorted guitar. The music on this album reflects this change with vibrant, upbeat rhythms and catchy, yet meaningful lyrics. The English quartet led by charismatic front man Matty Healy is known for their use of an iconic glowing rectangle image (popularized by their first album’s cover art) and their black and white music videos however, this album sees the band entering a new era of color as they have rebranded their image to a pink rectangle. Although ridiculously titled “I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it,” this album showcases the versatility of the band’s sound with songs ranging from bubblegum pop, to choir-like gospel songs, to raw acoustic sounds, proving that genre does not limit them.
