“The Sound” has all the hallmarks of a great 1975 song: a sticky chorus, bouncing neon synths, Matty Healy name-dropping Greek philosophers and promptly calling himself a cliché. It’s fun and clever and anthemic while taking the piss out of big anthems at the same time. Above all the roaring maximalism, Healy is tuned to the sound of his many, many desires: for attention, sex, intellectual validation, intimacy, and, quite possibly, immortality. With this, he embodies a very millennial mindset: as eager to promote himself as he is to air all of his insecurities. –Matthew Strauss
《The Sound》 融合1975乐队的各种标志:抓耳的副歌,具有活力的霓虹合成器,Matty Healy提及了希腊哲学家(苏格拉底),并称自己为陈词滥调。这是一首有趣的歌,在欢快的的旋律中同时透露着嘲讽。在所有咆哮极繁主义中,最重要的是,Healy在自己录歌的过程中,声音里融合了许多欲望:关注度,性别,智商,亲密关系,以及不朽的欲望。借助这些欲望,他表达了千禧一代的常态:渴望获得安全感,并得到自我提升。
