Drawing on 1980s pop, ambient electronica, R\u0026amp;B, gospel and jazz, it operates without tonal consistency as a stylistic principle: the monochrome black-and-white aesthetic (the artwork, the videos, the staging) provides visual unity while the music ranges freely across \u003cstrong\u003e\"Please Be Naked\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (a near-ambient piano instrumental), \u003cstrong\u003e\"If I Believe You\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (a gospel choir piece with strings arranged by \u003cstrong\u003eMiguel Atwood-Ferguson\u003c\/strong\u003e), the R\u0026amp;B-inflected \u003cstrong\u003e\"Somebody Else\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the propulsive new wave of \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Sound\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Love Me\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The album's two purely instrumental tracks — the opening \u003cstrong\u003e\"The 1975\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (a reprise of the ambient title track that opens all their albums) and the wordless \u003cstrong\u003e\"Please Be Naked\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — serve as structural palate-cleansers that prevent the 17-track sequence from feeling cluttered, and demonstrate a confidence in pacing unusual in an act of the band's commercial profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis EU pressing on \u003cstrong\u003eDirty Hit \/ Polydor\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most sought-after pressing of this album, manufactured at \u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Media GmbH in Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e and widely regarded by collectors as superior in sound to the US Interscope \/ Rainbo pressing of the same period.
