Sounds Good Feels Good, An Album Review For 5 Seconds Of Summer

Image
*All the letters of the keyboard pressed erratically to form a load of gibberish nonsense just emphasize my extreme excitement.* My 5sos album came! It's in my hands, it's new and shiny, and 3-D and has a cover on it and it smells like a new book. So I finally feel like I can do my review/thoughts on it now. I don't want to say I'm doing a 'review' and have people expect knowledgeable, insightful, musical facts from me. I'm just an average teenager, speaking a few words about my favourite band, without being squealish about it. But I mean it's technically a review.. 1) Okay so track number one.  Money.  I like an album that comes in steady, but extremely powerful and in your face to say 'hey! this is what's on offer! This is our album! Love it! Indulge it! Blah blah blah' and the first track really does this. I never actually got round to doing my first reaction thing that I've done for a lot of the other tracks, but I would have s...

Jet Black Heart & She's Kinda Hot EP Reaction/Review

Image
Today is a good day. Music wise. I have been blessed with 5 new 5sos songs, also Halsey's album came out today and although I'm too poor to buy it, I'm so excited to listen to it, because I can't wait to hear the story she has to tell. I really enjoyed writing a bit about She's kinda hot when it came out, and Fly away when that came out afterwards. So as soon as 5sos said they were releasing a new song off the album, and the EP was released today, the first thing I thought was blog post.  I'll start with Jet Black Heart. Fans are describing it as 'the only reason and wrapped around your finger had a baby and that baby became emo.' Because the only reason and wrapped around your finger are Michael's songs, his moment to shine in full glory. Michael has a really good voice, it's so gritty and dark and it's raspy and it's mysterious. So naturally Jet Black Heart, which is a dark song, sang mostly by Michael, it's just.. guaranteed to ...

5SOS: Fly Away Reaction/Review

Image
5 Seconds of Summer have just dropped a bomb on us. Last night they released their new album pre-order, date and cover art. Us fans have been waiting so long! And when they said 'October 23rd' I was whaaaat! That's ages away! But it's really not, and to think it's suddenly so close to October, I think it's 71/72 days away until the release.. the year has gone so quick! So here's a quick whip up of what I think of the new song: Fly Away. I woke up this morning and I was scrolling on twitter and I JUST, JUST  caught a tweet saying an Australian radio show was about to play a new 5sos song. So I tuned in as quick as I could, I caught it by three minutes. I'm so lucky. They played the song and awwwww my god!!! It's so good. Someone had recorded it and put it on soundcloud which I've been repeating since I found it, and I now know all the lyrics.. The song starts with Calum, he sings a good portion of the song which I love , and the very beginning...

A Weekend In Birmingham With 5sos

Title maaay be a little bit misleading... ahh I'm so excited to be writing this post!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting since before we even went.. This is going to be a very emotional post, the post concert depression has been a real issue this week, going into detail about everything that happened is going to destroy my soul inside out. It's going to be a fairly long post too. I was going to do separate posts but I only actually have a few pictures of the concert as I was too busy screaming, crying, singing, and having a generally good time. Filming the concert was a challenge in itself and I only recorded a few bits and bobs... Oooh here we go!! The day in Birmingham So we started by waking at half six -very easily I might add. Since when do I happily wake up at 6am ?  We got ready, typically ending up leaving late. We made our 1 hour trip to Birmingham listening to a playlist of only the best songs.. Chance would have it Unpredictable came on, which is one of 5sos' fetu...
