5 Seconds of Summer Goes From Boy Band to Men With 'Sounds Good, Feels Good'
-
NME
Within the first four songs, 5SOS shout out underachievers, college dropouts and kids battling low self-esteem. They do so with winning sincerity, but even that can’t quite make up for the record’s derivative sound.

Rock Sound
This is the new broken scene. It sounds great, and it feels even better.

5 Seconds Of Summer, the band that Sounds Bad, Feels Worse.

The Idolator
Now back with sophomore album Sounds Good Feels Good , the guys have matured some and are ferociously tinkering to keep the wheels of the once well-oiled pop-punk machine turning

Staffs Union
To follow up the success of a first album can be a challenge for some artists, but for 5 Seconds of Summer we can definitely say that they have nailed it.

Celeb Mix
I couldn’t be more proud of 5SOS for this incredible work. I hope you loved and enjoyed this album just as much as I did.

Those of you who regard boy bands as a blight on society aren’t invited to the party. The rest of us can dive right in.
-
WZND
Although not a perfect album, Sounds Good Feels Good shows that 5 Seconds of Summer is more than their boy band image, and a band that should be treated on similar calibers as All Time Low and New Found Glory.
-
The Ithacan
5 Seconds of Summer has truly experimented more with its sound and vocals on “Sounds Good Feels Good,” and the album does not disappoint.
-
Dead Press
Whilst they play their own instruments and write their own songs, there just isn’t anything that distinguishes them from anybody else in the music scene.
-
Movellas
Here we have an intelligent band that acknowledges the need to stay relevant, but doesn’t seem to know how.
-
The Pop Break
Sounds Good, Feels Good as a whole is multi-faceted, young talent and that’s what should be judged – not your possible elitist hate for these “pretty boys.”
-
Indientry
Although many My Chemical Romance fans have been known to criticize Sounds Good Feels Good for its lack of pop-punk feeling and leaning less towards the punk side, the album itself is great

USC Annenberg Media
With rockier, pop punk-influenced sounds, 5 Seconds of Summer delivers their new album with deeper emotions and messages, legitimizing their place as a pop-rock band with alternative edge.

Renowned for Sound
Sounds Good Feels Good is a decent follow-up to 5 Seconds Of Summer with its much smoother and less in-your-face delivery.
-
the Daily Listening
This is 5SOS` first effort as grown ups and it sounds good and feels good
-
Pop Crush
But they also know the kind of power they wield among their fans, this idea of forming a unified community of misfits -- and it just so happens that 5SOS have a perfectly suitable soundtrack for their new revolution.
-
The Sound Board Reviews
Sounds Good Feels Good shows their potential to branch out into more electronic tinged guitar pop. But it’s just not sounding or feeling too good at the moment.
-
Hit the Floor
Overall, it is a great album, but it would just be great to see them really find their own distinct sound.
-
Spectrum pulse
but for as much as they are maturing and improving, the record feels transitional as they haven't quite nailed down their best path.
-
Poparazzi
while there’s nothing earth shattering about Sounds Good Feels Good, it delights fans with new music and serves its purpose of helping the band shed its image of being in One Direction’s shadow.
-
Periscope
Even though pop punk isn’t really my genre of music, 5sos makes an exception with their playful lyrics and slick 90’s pop punk guitar riffs and vocals.

The Music
"A spectacular second album that will keep you rocking all night."

Her Campus
For an album called Sounds Good, Feels Good, I sure did cry a lot. A beautiful album

Thomas Bleach
This album has a mix of decent pop/rock songs that deliver catchy hooks and emotion while others are messy and absolutely cringe worthy.

This is by far their greatest creation to date.

The album is expected to be attract audience due to its exceptional music and mind-blowing lyrics.
-
SA Music Scene
It is an album that accepts the fact 5 Second of Summer will never be seen as a true punk or rock band, but they will fight to be seen as the next generation of pop punk – a fight that these boys will win.

"Sounds Good Feels Good" is true to its title.

Neon Tommy
This album demonstrated 5 Seconds of Summer’s maturity and fully launches their name into the pop-punk conversation. I highly recommend everyone gives it a listen.
-
The National
The album sounds OK and feels exactly like what you’d expect from a band with the sole mission of delivering palatable rock songs to a global audience of teenage girls.
-
Vulture Hound UK
whilst this isn’t going to break ground and cement them in and amongst pop punk’s elite, it’s a huge step towards actually being deemed pop punk.
-
Wizard Radio
The latest album offers a solid run of energetic and incredibly catchy choruses, and the energy never lets up.

Nubi Magazine
A decent enough effort by a band that seem to be at a creative crossroads in their careers.

Everything Erin X
Sounds Good Feels Good proves how talented 5 Seconds Of Summer are and I would definitely recommend this album to anyone.
-
Spectrum Culture
their allegiance to the genre feels strictly aesthetic, and it’s worth wondering why anyone should listen to this band over its forebears.
-
Thomas MJ 99/WordPress
‘Sounds Good, Feels Good’ doesn’t sound good and it certainly doesn’t feel good.
-
The Crier
a feel-good album for anyone

Attempting maturity whilst promoting underachieving… how about no?
-
SB Independent
While the album was more pop than I expected, despite my bias, I have to give credit where it’s due.
-
The Quiller Music
And when I say good music, I mean music that's eargasmic and at the same time, heartfelt. I'm talking about the second debut album of none other than 5 Seconds of Summer!
-
Celeb Secrets
Unlike their self-named debut album, this one is said to be more personal and touches on subjects that the boys have yet to open up about.

The album sounds OK and feels exactly like what you'd expect from a band with the sole mission of delivering palatable rock songs to a global audience of teenage girls.
