The challenges the band faced in the early years of the band have helped them grow into the people they are today. They introduce a brighter tone that was a change of pace for the band and keeps the grungy, pop-punk feel that has been around since 2014. “5SOS5” is an incredible experience that flips reality on its edge by transporting listeners into a world where they can just focus on the music being played rather than the outside world. The blend of different music styles shows how they have matured over the past 10 years. The album is a reflection of the band as a whole and conveys the best image of who the band is. However, this is what makes “5SOS5” dynamic and moving, as it seems that the album is one piece of music that reflects 5 Seconds of Summer perfectly. Others would say that some tracks remind them of 5 Second of Summer’s previous albums, such as “Youngblood” or “CALM”. Some of the songs off “5SOS5” have a similar vibe to the two solo albums and some fans even argue that they would be better suited to those albums. Lead vocalist, Luke Hemmings, and drummer, Ashton Irwin, each put out one solo album during the pandemic that reflected who they are individually. The members of 5 Seconds of Summer have put a lot of thought into what they want to convey in their new album. Lead guitarist Michael Clifford produced most of the songs on this album and said that it was the best way to funnel the band’s ideas on the album without judgment from their creative team. This project came to life in Joshua Tree National Park, California, a place where the band was able to compose the album and inspire creativity.īassist Calum Hood said core songs of the album were written on this trip, such as “COMPLETE MESS,” “Take My Hand” and “Easy For You To Say.” They were able to express themselves freely, exactly how they wanted. Two years after their previous release, alternative pop/rock band 5 Seconds of Summer is back with their 5th studio album “5SOS5”.
