Youngblood: Track Review

HOLY HECK THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD
Alright I'm writing this on a plane let's go

Youngblood:
A bop as we all know
Honestly a bomb way to open up this album like yes introduce that new sound you go
Getting me friction hyped for the rest of the album

Want You Back:
Another bop we love of course also SWEARING also yes

Lie to Me:
OUR FIRST STUDIO VERSION
This song is like
Really good
The chords are just
Mwah
Perfection

Valentine:
THE A CAPELLA BEGINNING WITH PIANO IS WHAT I LIVE FOR
also just like the lazy vibe
And idk why I think of vampires
Like the music video would be in black and white ya feel
Also they're singing in like this accent that I really like
Rounded vowels
Pretty cool
ALSO MICHAEL CLIFFORD SLAY ME WITH THOSE VOCALS

Talk Fast:
TRULY THE BOP OF THE ALBUM AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL CHANGE MY MIND
I was literally dancing around my room when I first heard this studio version
Like that's how you know it's a bop
ALSO CALUM HOOD OH MY GOD
his vocals
I love his voice
Swerving lanes
Also loving the electronic vibes
Synth horns are cool
THAT BREAKDOWN IS HOT
I'd marry that breakdown

Moving Along:
I listened to the leaked version of this
But anyway
It's still a bop
ALSO ASHTON GETTING A VERSE YES PLEASE
also I thought Ashton was Calum oops
I'm still not sure it's Ashton
I'm pretty sure it is
Someone please confirm
His voice sounds different
This song isn't a bop but it's not a banger
It's like
In between
It's a vibe
That's what it is
Like solid body rolling song
Also another solid breakdown
We love us a good breakdown
LUKES VOCALS
messy drum interludes are fun

If Walls Could Talk
I literally could only describe this song as hot
Cuz like
Idk
It's just hot
Ya feel
It's spicy
ALSO THATS SOME ASHTON IN THE CHORUS I HEAR
A solid banger
Also I'm loving this Calum on the second verse vibe
WED FALL FROM GRACE
YEA WERE FALLIN
also some na na nas
It's not a 5sos album without some ohs or nas

Better Man:
Ngl getting some Shawn Mendes vibes in the beginning
Some Caribbean inspo I hear
Triplets are fun
Also these boys are wonderful what are they saying about being bad
Solid chorus
A better better man
Oo we got our oohs
GANG VOCALS
"Bad man better" luke you're like actually 12

More:
LIKE
A
LITERAL
ROCK
BANGER
also Luke's vocals
Also loving this chorus
Such a good chorus
I stan this chorus
THE GUITAR OH MY GOD
loving it absolutely living for it
CALUM'S VOICE FITS ROCK SO WELL

Why Won't You Love Me:
I describe this song as a sad club banger
Like you go to the club to cry
Crying in the club
Also love me song HIGH NOTES
some ajr high notes
Chromatic scales are my weakness
CALUM HOOD IS SLAYING THIS ALBUM
Also the Michael Calum alternating is like
My heart
I can't
HARMONIES
This song is so good
Like
Sounds like the dramatic part of a teen flick
Where the guy leaves the girl
In the rain
Yeah that

Woke up in Japan:
Did you wake up with Shawn Mendes
Ha I'm funny
Anyway
Why is this low key rap
That 8 by 8 drum pad
That's not what it's called
Idk it's like 1 am I've been up for hours
Luke is slaying this song
A real banger
Would jump up and down
And then sway
Bc that's how the song goes

Empty Wallets:
PIANO
like edgy r&b
Like Money
But this time they're admitting they're broke
What an anthem
I also spend all my money on you boys
THE BASS IN THIS SONG IS SO FUNKY
CALUM HOOD
WHAT A KING
LOVE HIM
this song is like a jam
It sounds rock but it isn't
It's wild
MICHAEL BRIDGE
YES
THANK YOU
I missed his voice I needed it perfect timing
Aw he believes in me thanks Michael
This song is such an anthem
I can hear the fam screeching it

Ghost of You:
This song
It's so pretty
It's like creepily cute
Because idk if she died or just left
But
It's so cute
Such cute sounds
Piano and guitar
So soft
Like amnesia feels
Amnesia 2.0
This song might be my 2nd favorite
This song makes me nostalgic and idek why
CALUM SOUNDS SO GOOD OH MY GOD
The piano is literally so dreamy
I love this song
So much
It's ridiculous
I will be learning this song ASAP
It's so good
I love it
Very cinematic
THAT KEY CHANGE FOR THE GUITAR SOLO
This song makes me sad
I love it
I feel like it's the end of a movie where everyone is going their separate ways and it's showing all the flashbacks of memories
THE DYNAMICS MY GOD
Can you tell I love this song
It's genius
Pure genius

Monster Among Men:
Edgy title
I think it starts with Michael
He sounds good
I hate that their voices have changed and it's been 3 years and now I'm struggling
This is close as strangers all over again
Also the time change between the verse and chorus
Very chanty chorus
But very melodic verse I like
CAN THIS MAN PUT HIS SEAT UP PLEASE
Sorry that has nothing to do with the song I'm just mad
Luke asshole is a bad word
This is another song that will be good live
I can see it now
A banger
Love it
Will jam out to it
GUITAR SOLOOO

Meet You There:
Oo
Funky
Funky intro
Like it
It's very syncopated but weirdly
THE DRUMS
THIS IS SO FUNKY
I LOVE IT
ITS LIKE
AH
HOW DO I DESCRIBE
LIKE 90s FUNK
BUT THEN IT GOES INTO A FEEL GOOD INC SOUND
AND THEN INTO LIKE HEAVYDIRTYSOUL LEVEL DRUMS
THERES SO MUCH HAPPENING
THE BASS OH MY GOD
this song is so beautifully pieced together
I now forgive the 2 and a half years
I CANT WAIT TO SEE ASHTON DRUM THIS LIVE OH MY GOD
HES GONNA KILL IT
also meet you there tour now makes sense
We've upgraded to some la la la las
MICHAEL CLIFFORD
Also
That floor Tom
Yes Ashton
Killing the game
This song
Is so good
It's
Ugh

BABYLON:
This song is so good it deserves to be in all caps
LIKE CALUM HOOD SOLO
YES PLEASE
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
ITS SO
SASSY
AND LIKE
SO ROCK
AND HE SOUNDS
SO GOOD
I FELT PERSONALLY ATTACKED BY THIS SONG
AND ITS SO ROCK
LIKE
HES YELLING AT ME
BUT HE SOUNDS GOOD
LIKE IM LEGIT ROCKING OUT ON A PLANE RIGHT NOW
I WANNA SEE THIS LIVE SO BAD
SO BAD
THIS IS ALL I WANT
I swear if Babylon is a song they let die
I will literally fight this band
CALUM HOOD IS GONNA PERFORM THIS SO WELL
SO HECKIN WELL
IM SO PUMPED
THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A BADASS
CALUM THOMAS HOOD IS A BLESSING
AND IM SO GLAD WE GOT THIS SONG
HE SOUNDS SO GOOD
IM IN AWE OF HOW GOOD HE SOUNDS
I'm so proud of my boi
Maybe that's why he was so quiet during promo
He was like
Wait till I drop Babylon on them
ITS SO GOOD
I'm never going to get over this
Ever
Never ever

Overall:
This album was definitely worth the wait
Like
It's so masterfully created
And now I really understand why they said it was different but still sounded like them
It was different
But it was still 5 Seconds of Summer
And yes
I admit
It was a lot more Luke
BUT
It shows how much his voice has grown and MAN THAT BOY CAN SING SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES
Also CALUM THOMAS HOOD
HE
HE KILLED IT
THE TRUE STAR OF THIS ALBUM
I'm sorry I'm just never getting over Babylon
