Then thereвЂ™s If YouвЂ™re Too Shy (Let Me Know), an irresistible 80s pop throwback вЂ“ well-worn territory for The 1975 вЂ“ thatвЂ™s destined to end up on every party playlist for the foreseeable future.ДЄll of these songs are excellent taken separately, but placed together on an album they donвЂ™t sit well. The 80-minute behemoth features plenty of great songs: hardcore rager People shows the band taking notes from old-school punk, while Me & You Together Song perfectly recreates a 90s alt-rock jangle. Unfortunately, Notes On A Conditional Form feels like a step back in many ways. An album that managed to feel both eclectic and unified at the same time, with tracks like Love It If We Made It pushing the band to new heights. However, with each new release, when it seems as though they might be about to put out something truly spectacular, they always seem to miss the mark.Дў018вЂ™s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships is the closest theyвЂ™ve come to that goal. The 1975 are clearly very talented musicians, who I think have it in them to put out a truly fantastic album. In truth, important probably isnвЂ™t the best word to describe them вЂ“ a better one would be frustrating. What other band would choose to open an album with a four-minute-plus speech from Greta Thunberg? Not only has frontman Matty Healy stressed this in interviews and during shows, but it also shows in the creative decisions they make. The 1975 have always wanted to be regarded as an important band. It shows off the band at their best вЂ“ and their worst. The 1975вЂ™s new album is huge and sprawling, exploring almost as many genres as it has songs.
