The 1975 score second No. 1 album March 5, 2016 - 16:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The 1975 have gone straight in at number one on the Official Albums Chart with their second album 'I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It', NME reports. It's the band's second consecutive number one album, following their self-titled debut back in 2013. 'I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It' received combined chart sales of 58,000 this week, with Adele's '25' 6,500 copies behind. The band released a new video for 'The Sound' last week (February 26th) which sees the four piece performing live in front of the neon pink lighting rig that has become a part of their stage show. However, as the performance progresses strangers approach the band to get a closer look and a series of critiques aimed at the band flash up on screen. They include things such as "Terrible high-pitched vocals", "Punch-your-TV obnoxious" and "Unconvincing emo lyrics". The band bemoaned the current state of pop music in an interview with BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac last October. The band's frontman Matthew Healy said that they "want to be ambassadors for this generation", adding: "There's a lot lacking in pop music these days. It's such an amazing lexicon and vocabulary of sounds... and there's just not enough good bands, man, and I'm sick of it. I'm just sick to death of it." Commenting on their new image change, Healy added: "We just wanted to be like all bands that we have loved before, where you reinvent yourselves but make it feel like a natural evolution."
