The 1975's 'Notes on a Conditional Form' has absolutely no skips — but that doesn't mean it's perfect

Insider

• The 1975 released their fourth studio album, "Notes on a Conditional Form," on Friday.
• We listened straight through the 22-song tracklist and wrote down our first impressions of each one.
• Overall, we thought that while the tracklist ran a touch too long, there was an abundance of bright spots intertwined throughout and no outright skips.
• The best tracks on the album are "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)," "Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy)," and "The Birthday Party" while we were disappointed by some of the interludes.

The 1975 released their fourth studio album, "Notes on a Conditional Form," on Friday.

After multiple delays, the album finally arrived a full two years after it was initially announced. "Notes" is intended to play as a companion to 2018's Grammy-nominated "A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships." Together, the two albums form the British band's "Music for Cars" era.

Insider's music team (reporter Callie Ahlgrim and celebrity and music editor Courteney Larocca) listened to the new album on our own, jotting down our initial thoughts track by track.

Overall, we thought the exhaustive, 22-song tracklist could have been tighter, but there weren't any songs that gave us the impulse to actively press "skip."

There were, however, numerous highlights and bright spots woven throughout the album.

The best tracks on the album are "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)," "Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy)," and "The Birthday Party" while we were disappointed by some of the interludes.

Here is what we thought of each song on "Notes on a Conditional Form" upon first listen. (Skip to the end to see the only songs worth listening to and the album's final score.)
