I get to learn a little something and love it when people like you pick up on something I never would. The level of appreciation is just elevated, you know? Me: Oh, this song sounds good. I love it.

    Fun fact: Not In The Same Way came on just 30 minutes except the bridge, and I love it. Also, Lover Of Mine was co-written with Luke's (the lead vocalist and guitarist or frontman) Girlfriend, Sierra Deaton. I watched 'til the end. Because your reactions are cool, and I'm happy that you liked the album. Thank you for lostening to my favorite band. There are a lot of influence to them, and you'll most likely notice them in their 2nd Album, 'Sounds Good Feels Good' which is very pop punk rock, and that album saved a lot of lives.

    When you asked if it was bass or synth, it's bass! The bass player, Calum (who also sang the lead vocals on Wildflower), has improved so much with his bass playing! All of them are really great musicians, but I think Calum (bassist) and Ashton (drums) go SO hard on every song! Also, while yes they obviously layered the vocals in songs like Red Desert, all of the members can sing and can sing well so most of the time it's just them harmonizing with each other. Also, there's a short video where Calum breaks down the production of Wildflower a little bit, and you might be interested in that since you're a producer. There's also a video of Ashton playing the drums to Wildflower which you also might like since you're a fan of the drums!

    That's so cool that you said it's very Beatles (when listening to High). I read Luke said: "Songwriting in itself is very selfish, and this song in particular, the lyric [“I hope you think of me high / I hope you think of me highly”] is very clever and very self-involved. I love the honesty. That’s why I wanted to close the album with it. I had these chords in my head; I really wanted a Beatles-esque song with quirky chords. I like how narcissistic it is, but in such a sweet and unassuming way."

Also, you should react to their cover of killer queen, but also there´s a video of how they made the cover, like all the process and stuff, I think it would be interesting if you see it since that cover is what helped them to discover what new things they could do with their vocals, and that inspired this album. And of course all 3 of their The Vault version of the songs

    I'm not sure if you know these things or if anyone else talked about them in the comments but: 1. Matt Pauling produced both Red Desert and Lonely Heart. He also produced Killer Queen. 2. Luke(lead vocalist)and his girlfriend,Sierra Deaton,wrote Lover of Mine together on their couch. 3. Michael(main guitarist)said that he might use Best Years as his wedding song and that other people could too. 4. You hadn't mentioned this during Wildflower so I thought you hadn't known but Calum(bassist)sang Wildflower. 5. In an interview, they said that Red Desert was definitely inspired by Killer Queen. 6. They've covered 'Stay' by Post Malone before and so they probably wanted to try the sounds out. 7. In an interview, they said that the whole album was them experimenting with different sounds. That's all I have at the moment...if I remember some detail I forgot to write I will come back and edit this comment. Also, you should definitely listen to their album 'Youngblood' which has some fucking amazing instrumentals and vocals.Their older album called 'Sounds Good Feels Good' is a lot more punk rock sounding and is hella appreciated by us.

    Ok I just finished watching the nearly hour long review. It was great. I'm glad you took a lot more into account but left with a hats off to artists being artists and a humble goodbye at the end. I'm a huge fan of rhythm & something I really like about this album that you touched on is that everyone is kind of rhythm. But the drum really drives, radiates, and almost pushes with the vocals & emphasizes the melody, making it sound dark & gritty & on the tip of your seat. The bass and guitar have great lines too. Constantly moving. I think the placement is spot on. You don't always need to do some crazy riff to drive a song. Sometimes a simple play along-question & answer as you say- is more effective. But there were a lot of muted insane guitar and bass lines that I'm fairly certain were kind of hidden on purpose. Kind of sneaky and extremely smooth. It is just my preference to not hear the music mimic the melody. I also heard the Latin guitars in more than one song. The slowed down 3/4 time in my opinion makes it sound extremely grand and epic like this is what we've worked so hard for. And then Cinderella comes down the stairs and has her well deserved grand dance with the prince. Haha. Makes me imagine a couple dancing beautifully and every thing and one around stopping & time stands still (rufio ✊). But it is also extremely dark which I feel was the overall feeling. Anyway..

    Its reminiscent of pop punk probably because they were pop punk. I absolutely loved your reaction and all of your insights.

Also, you mentioned a couple of times that some things were reminiscent of pop-punk and then you mentioned All Time Low. They're actually friends with them and Alex and Jack helped them write before. (not sure about writing on this album but they have on previous ones) I would definitely love to see you react to their older music too. Just so you can see the path their sound has taken.

    This video was so brilliantly done and explained - I especially loved your insight on the end of ‘Lover Of Mine’. It’s really interesting to hear a producer’s thoughts on the album. I’m sure you’d have some interesting points on some of their previous albums and how their sound has developed from a pop to more of a pop-punk and onto a kind of pop-grungy-rock, in addition to the overall style of their music and lyricism. I also highly recommend looking into the video that the bassist, Calum, did on Wildflower. They also had a bonus track exclusive to the US titled ‘Kill My Time’ which I’d love to hear your insight on. Thanks so much for posting this, i’m so glad to have found your channel and can’t wait to go watch some of your other videos!

    Amazing reaction! Listening to how the songs sound in the perspective of a producer is always so interesting and for me it makes whatever is being discussed even more enjoyable. This album by far has to be one of my favorites from 2020, without a doubt. 5sos came for BLOOD with CALM. Once you got to Lonely Heart I was excited to hear your thoughts since in my opinion it’s one of the songs on the album that takes a few listens to get used to. When you mentioned how you would’ve liked if they did a drop like Nick Jonas’ “Close” along with the lines “Such a lonely heart” I immediately was just like “Oh my god, YES.” That would’ve just made the song so much better than it already is and would’ve added a nice twist, they could’ve kept the original chorus and for the ending included the pause, drop, THEN the chorus for that grand finale. Really loved your reaction and side comments man, I’m definitely subscribing :)

I'd love to see your opinion on it bc I'm his huge fan as well and I have this feeling that you would love his melodies, voice and lyrics. It's unique and he's a really talented musician and lyricist (wrote most of one direction's songs and all the songs in his album). Thanks!
