  51. The 2013 self-titled debut album from the 1975 is a superb album that finds the
  52. Manchester outfit poised on the brink of stardom. When rock guitars meet
  53. dancefloor synths, '80s influences become hard to deny, but while the 1975
  54. definitely have a retro vibe (hence the name), the alchemy of how they bring
  55. those influences to bear is totally contemporary. While many of the tracks here
  56. bring to mind such icons as Peter Gabriel, INXS, and U2, they also fit nicely
  57. next to artists of the same moment, like Passion Pit, Temper Trap, and M83. It
  58. helps that lead singer/songwriter Matthew Healy has a compelling tenor croon
  59. that can soar like Bono one minute and coo like Lionel Richie the next. There is
  60. also a sophistication to the band's songs, and an instinct to blur genre lines
  61. that makes it hard to box them into one, easy to define sound. In that sense,
  62. the band also recalls the way Fall Out Boy combined the rhythmic phrasing and
  63. melodies of contemporary R&B with their own brand of driving, guitar-based
  64. emo-rock. Much has been made of the 1975's avowed love of '80s John Hughes
  65. movies, and many of the cuts here, like the thrilling, lovesick "Settle Down"
  66. and the sparkling "Girls," play with such great narrative momentum that they
  67. sound like songs culled from a Hughes soundtrack. Meanwhile, cuts like "The
  68. City," "Chocolate," and "Sex" drive and climb like the best anthemic '80s
  69. stadium rock, roiling a host of influences into a single distinct sound that,
  70. the moment it hits your ears, becomes timeless. ~ Matt Collar
