However, Conrad Duncan writing for the same site gave the album a positive review, calling it “full of genuine heart, intelligence and wit”. Popmatters criticised the album as bloated and inconsistent, stating “The band’s reach exceeds their grasp here, and vocalist/band leader Matt Healy’s indulgences are often more tiresome than charming”, while still praising it as “fascinating”. Healy, in an interview for Beats 1 , said that “Music for Cars” is more of an era to release music, after renaming Music for Cars to A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships. It was released on 30 November 2018. The band headlined both Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Stewart Park, Middlesbrough on 26 May 2019 and Reading and Leeds Festival in August 2019.
