On
October 23, 2015 the pop punk band Five Seconds of Summer released their
second album, Sounds Good Feels Good.
The album consists of 16 tracks that
give off a different vibe than their 1st album.
In early 2015 the Australian band
flew to Los Angeles to start developing the album with producer John Feldmann
according to the Sounds Good Feels Good Wikipedia page.
The album sounds a lot different
than the last one. Sounds Good Feels Good gives off a more mature and developed
sound compared to the last album.
Awarding
the album four stars at Alternative Press, Maria Sherman states, "The band
have a real responsibility to the consumer, and Sounds Good Feels Good
delivers...It's 5SOS' attempt to find community in their new sound and those
who support it, a concept that lives both on the record and well outside of it.
It's a strong sentiment: follow them and you might find something to relate to.
That's a powerful thing."
My personal favorite songs on the
album are Vapor which was written by lead guitarist and vocals Michael
Clifford, rhythm guitarist and lead singer Luke Hemmings, bassist and vocals
Calum Hood, drummer and vocals Ashton Irwin and producer John Feldmann. The
song has angst but still remains acceptable to be played on pop stations.
The band also collaborated with many
other musicians. Previously, the band collaborated with Benji and Joel Madden
from the Madden Brothers and Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low. For this record
the band stepped up their game and collaborated with musicians such as Chuck
Comeau and front man Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan, Deryck Whibley of Sum 41
and even the London Symphony Orchestra.
If
anyone is interested in listening to the album you can order it on iTunes,
listen to it on Spotify, or buy a copy at Target.
