Inspiration for this book came from the series by @artisticHann : "Matty Healy/George Daniel/Adam Hann/Ross Macdonald shit" and the book "THE 1...
Last year, on February 26 2016, The 1975 released their second studio album, "I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware Of It", again through Dirty Hit in the UK and Polydor in the US.
There are 17 tracks on the album:

2) "Love Me"
3) "UGH!"
4) "A Change Of Heart"
5) "She's American"
6) "If I Believe You"
7) "Please Be Naked"
8) "Lostmyhead"
9) "The Ballad Of Me And My Brain"
10) "Somebody Else"
11) "I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It"
12) "Loving Someone"
13) "The Sound"
14) "This Must Be My Dream"
15) "Paris"
16) "Nana"
17) "She Lays Down"
In 2014, Matty started releasing tweets revealing lyrics from the album, and its title in 2015. The recording of the album took 10 months from January to October 2015. The band then officially announced and verified the album in September 2015.
Since then, the album has been regarded as one of the best albums of 2016 - topping both the UK charts and the US Billboard 200. Its box set received a nomination for at the Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package at the 2017 Grammy Awards (should've won really, but whatever).

Sorry the chapters have got so long in the latest ones, I'll try to keep them short from now on, I never intended for them to get so long, I just kinda go off on one and get carried away....!
Please give me feedback on what you want to me to include - like, did you find the personell bit I wrote for the albums interesting or just boring??? By the way, I'm aware some of the info I include in these chapters is easily found on places like Wikipedia, like the personell parts for the album chapters, so I just want to get it out there that not all of the stuff I'll write in this will be brand-new to some of you xx
Just one final thing, if you're still here, thank you. It means a lot xxxx
