The 1975's broad range of inspirations range from Sigur Rós to Michael Jackson, and each is evident at some point throughout the ambitious 16-track album. While the riff-heavy sing-alongs are irresistible, the slower and introspective tracks are delightfully nuanced, blanketing atmospheric synths over melodies that take cues from American R&B. A fascinating mixture of polished pop and intricate musicianship.
