Sounds Good Feels Good [VINYL]

If you read reviews for bands such as 5sos you will quickly start to be able to drop each reviewer into their own special category and then you find it increasingly difficult to decide to buy or not.THE SUPER FAN:Whatever the band puts out the super fan will be happy:' The best album ever'. 'The boys have really developed their sound' 'I love this album and can't stop playing it'. 'Ashton is just incredible'.Perhaps all good stuff but I'm not sure I fully trust the advice. I'm pretty sure if 5sos put out a cover of St Winifred's school choir singing Pinocchio (this original horror does exist) it may still be acceptable to the super fan crowd.THE PARENT or GRAND PARENT:'I bought it for my grandson and he seems happy enough'. 'My daughter loves this, excellent present'. 'Arrived just in time for Christmas, a perfect present'. 'We play this in the car all the time'.Okay lovely. Thanks for sharing but I still don't know if I should buy this album, perhaps the recipient hated the present but was too polite to be truthful about it.THE HATERS:'The worst album ever'. 'Save your money and don't buy this'. 'This is ***t'.Pretty clear this group of people don't like the album but then why did they buy it in the first instance ? Perhaps their mum wakes them up early every morning with 'Don't stop' blaring out. I would perhaps hate any song that was rude enough to wake me up every morning, especially if someone else chose the tune that was to be forced upon me.THE OTHER ONES:'The case was cracked when I got it and all the bits fell on the floor'. 'Cd arrived on time'. 'Not what I ordered'.In their minds it makes sense to share with the rest of us. Maybe someone else finds this useful?My opinion:5sos can all play their instruments well, they write the majority of their own songs, they are a lot of fun.I think the first video of theirs I saw was 'She looks so perfect' (from their first album) and it was definitely fun with all sorts of people rampaging about the place in their undies. Most of the songs on this cd can make you either smile or provide opportunity enough to dance and jump about.Listening, I can spot McFly and Busted in the fun parts, Blink 182 and Green Day for their punk pop sound and at some point 5sos have been listening to Duran Duran - put track three on 'Hey Everybody' and see is if can hear 'Hungry like a wolf' in there.In summary then, yup glad I bought this cd and if you like a pop punk sound with some clever / fun lyrics you too can enjoy listening to this.

I only discovered this band earlier this year, and after thoroughly enjoying the first album I preordered this as soon as I heard it was being released. The band has found their own sound, a mixture of more pop-rock tunes with fun loving ones harking back to their first so, and with a few heavier tracks that are lyrically genius.My personal favourites are Broken Home and Invisible, both being songs I feel I can relate to. Both tracks are heart-wrenchingly beautiful and the unique voices of all 4 boys make for two emotional and, in my opinion, flawless songs. The band really listen to and engage with their fans, clearly paying attention to their demands, whilst writing about what they feel is important. Overall creating an incredible album that I believe will define their sound for the foreseeable future.

Definitely a good title for this CD - it does sound good. I discovered 5sos last year (far too late) and now I can't get enough of them. I like every track on this album (with a generous amount of tracks!) and it's hard not to play it on repeat.

Arrived as stated well packaged, good condition decent price Happy with purchased. Recipient will love it.

My girls are huge fans of 5SOS

Right first off this isn't a typical boyband with guitars! Don't be fooled by the commercial appearance they give off on tv and such! As a fan of all sorts of rock (Bon Jovi to W.A.S.P.) etc these guys are pure pop rock and id prob say easily could live up to mcfly potential in that genre! Listened to their first album non stop in car for a long time and looks like this won't be leaving the car anytime soon! Best songs in my opinion are Jet Black Heart, Catch Fire, Waste the Night, The Girl Who Cried Wolf, She's Kinda Hot, San Francisco and Outer Space/Carry On!

For my 16 year old daughter but I have to listen to it in the car. Not as quick to like as the former album which I listen to on my own!

This is even better than their debut, '5 Seconds of Summer'. 'Sounds Good Feels Good' gives and Green Day - All Time Low vibe but is still different. I definately reccomend this to fans of the pop-punk/ pop-rock genre and even pop fans- in fact I would reccomend this to anyone who enjoys good music. The album gives a personal feel that enhances the musicial and lyrical content. The sound is definately more mature than their previous album.
