Gigwise
For us, it’s one of the most impressive debut albums of 2013. Each track is unwaveringly good.

Diffuser
Somehow, they make “conventional” cool again.

Rolling Stone
but the LP mostly forces unconvincing emo lyrics into a bloopy 1980s package

Our Vinyl
There is a real feel that this album was put together with much time spent on delving into tempo and mood shifts, and it seems to flow perfectly (until the last song at least). It is perhaps more polished than most independent records, with harmonies and a barrage of instruments, but this all adds to the mood.

the rebooted Manchester group's spit-polished self-titled full-length aims for the gleaming synth rock of Phoenix and M83

The Guardiab
The 1975 look to roughly the same period on their debut album, and also offer up some memorable songs with some sharp lyrics.

Consequence of Sound
With The 1975, the Manchester group has crafted a skillful pop album that you can listen to while you stare out the window at some dreary weather or while you drive around with the top down, not an easy expanse to cover.

Paste Magazine
“If you wanna find love / then you know where the city is,” still satisfy some unrequited teenage dreams, then The 1975 should fulfill that naïveté.

The Odyssey Online
It is safe to say this album went above and beyond my expectations.

Stereo Fox
Don't get me wrong, the EP tracks aren't terrible, but I felt the overall cohesiveness of the tracks wasn't there and it worried me.

All Music
The 2013 self-titled debut album from the 1975 is a superb album that finds the Manchester outfit poised on the brink of stardom.

IDOBI
On their debut album The 1975, the band has put together an incredible record that will without a doubt go down as one of the best of the year.

It seems the stars have aligned for The 1975, but this impressive and authoritative debut destroys all trace of cynicism that they’re almost too perfect a package. ... We could certainly do with these intelligent, joyful and often moving anthems supplanting the identikit pop which so dominates the current charts.

NBHAP
The many influences of THE 1975 are apparent on this album but they dampen the group’s unique take on alternative rock instead of enrichen it.

Sputnik Music
The 1975 is an album that will appeal mostly to fans of their EPs. If this is your first time listening to the band, you may be taken aback by Healy's whiny vocals, the girl-appealing image of the band, or just the overall sound of their music.
