reliving the YOUNGBLOOD era by 5 seconds of summer *Album Review*

[@leak.9786]

The fact that they didn’t get a Grammy nomination at least for the song Youngblood is insane

[@majeda_a]

their stupid label didn’t submit them for it unfortunately

[@rjapeth1022]

Agreed

[@brendanmystery]

Honestly the Grammys haven’t really been relevant in recent years. It’s like getting upset that your favorite movie didn’t get an Oscar nomination.

[@leak.9786]

@@brendanmystery Yeah that’s true… they didn’t nominate Blinding Lights although it’s literally the most streamed song of all time

[@multi3ditz]

FRRRRR its truly a CRIME

[@twoghostssupremacy]

I fully believe this is their best album

[@aeri148]

100% agree

[@Fluffypeachcream]

Nah but all of their albums are amazing so it doesn't matter

[@katyamaradiaga5072]

100% yes, not up for debate

[@MelinaImmonen]

100 % agree! (I really can't choose the best album bc they're all my favorite so I agree with everyone)

[@ficasoshade]

unironically, Youngblood is one of the only albums I truly believe does not have a bad song on it. As I was listening through, I kept waiting for one to pop up that I was kinda like 'eh' about, but literally NOTHING on that album does anything but slap!!

[@majeda_a]

LITERALLY

So true😭

youngblood and 5sos5 for me

[@parisewellington3664]

​@JadeOnIce I feel that way about calm, 5sos5 and youngblood. Sounds good feels good doesn't have a bad song per say but I do skip broken home every time

Its so nice to see my favourite band get some recognition because they are so underrated. YB is my fav 5SOS album followed closely by CALM

I think 5sos stays out of your typical celebrity drama that's why you don't really hear about them everywhere but they definitely have a very loyal fanbase. I am one of those fans i love that they just mind their own business and have fun.

[@heatherlxnn]

Youngblood was a MOMENT. The first step outside of their teen pop/punk sound. However I still think 5SOS5 is their best!

[@geekette6279]

I went to this album’s tour back in 2018, and words can not express how truly talented, gifted, and out of this world these boys are. And just genuinely great guys, this was during hurricane Florence and the original venue flooded. they didn’t cancel, they rescheduled it, gave us better seats for free, and donated all merch proceeds to my state’s hurricane relief fund. Been rocking with them since 2011❤

[@asherheed]

i remember when this was released after their long ass hiatus 😭 listening to it while live tweeting with mutuals was so fun. this definitely is one of their best albums for me.

[@RoseCooper-tz2gi]

[@KellyIsShort]

I heard Valentine live last year as part of the soundcheck experience and GOD DAMN it’s everything and more live. Honestly NUTS. However, Babylon will always be my favourite 5SOS song… on a whole other level. Btw, you should listen to the royal albert hall album they released, full of good vibes!

WERE YOU AT IRVINE?

Also heard Valentine for the first time ever in soundcheck last year and I was right in front of Calum, the best experience ever. Never heard Babylon live but 100% agree, it will always be my favorite 5SOS song, equal with Ghost Of You.

been a fan of the boys since 2015. want you back was such an iconic comeback song after their hiatus. this era did not live long enough: finally finding their own sound, the variety of sound while staying cohesive, not to mention they were finding their own style fashion wise and we were seeing them express themselves in a way we had never seen from them before. i’ll never shut up about these boys. youngblood is their best album and i will die on this hill. can’t wait for the LA show in September.
