There's still good parts here and there, but it is borderline insulting to the audience not to edit out all the shit that comes in between and instead insist that everything they do and say is important and needs to make it to the record, needs to be heard.

This is absolutely spot on.

I like The 1975, but the success lead them to believe their shit don't stink. Which is a shame, because the talent is still there - their new album has at least 4 songs that I really like. It's a shame that about 10 absolutely suck.

I like some poppier bands like The 1975, Fratellis etc who aren’t guitar driven.

Oh my god The Fratellis are fantastic. Costello Music is such a stellar album.

Yeah love the fratellis. My personal fav is eyes wide tongue tied.
I think Slow is one of the best ballads ever written.

Re 1975 I dont own any of their stuff just like a select few tracks.

Completely agree - the album is great and I love Slow! I had it on repeat when it first came out

I LOVE the acoustic tracks they put out of the songs from Eyes Wide Tongue Tied, Slow is my fav too.
