This return to their roots is quite satisfying, as they display a significant amount of new evolution in how they represent pop punk. Resting at the heart of one of the main themes of the album, their transformation over the past decade is evident. The Neighbourhood just came out with "Ultrasound," which I feel this review will echo many of the same feelings as I have towards that one. 5SOS is the first mainstream boy band I have ever seen age gracefully. Adding new elements, synths to the instrumentals, and fun chord progressions, this shows that 5SOS is making music for the beauty of the art. 12/20 Update: After a week, I have had a hard time wanting to relisten to much of this. While I think the album works well as a whole and do appreciate the unique application of standard pop in this more punky style, I don't think the songs are as gripping as I first thought.
