The 1975 - The 1975 (2013)

I feel that people have executed this type of thing before with much more substance and originality. The album felt pre-chewed, and it felt smeared together for me.

Again, just my opinion.

Try this:

Certainly not 'generic' indie stuff. The stuff on their EPs is less 'generic' indie and much more original. If you like Facedown try other stuff like You, Antichrist or Head.Cars.Bending.

I like the 1975's self-titled quite a bit, but I'm a bit puzzled at why it's getting so much attention when there are so many other bands and albums this year that do the 80's thing so much better (St. Lucia, Tesla Boy, Starcadian, etc). Guess opening up for the The Rolling Stones really does make the difference as far as exposure goes, lol!

I haven't heard much from those bands... I might have to check them out. I guess the 1975 have become so popular for a reason. Maybe because when they released their album, people already knew who they were because they had released loads of EPs with Chocolate making them popular.
