    unlocking the whole narrative literally changed my entire view of this album, how can something be so good???

    Ashton is Wordsmith, Calum is Quietly confident... or as someone already mentioned calm, Michael is routy, and Luke is Seriously silly. Ashton is also sarcastic, Calum is intuitive, Michael is hyper, and Luke is self-depricating. Calum is totally sweet but honestly they all are. Ash is definitely a savage and is the most outspoken.

    OH MY GOD? this album makes me wanna skin myself alive, pump myself with adrenaline and roll around in the clouds
    Luke makes me think 'wheezy' cause of his laugh
    Calum makes me think 'calm' (no pun intended)
    Ashton makes me think 'dry' cause his humor is so deadpan sometimes haha I love it
    Michael makes me think 'producer' (though they all are obviously)
    Bonus nouns:
    Luke I think "blazer"/ "Chelsea boot"
    Calum I think "buzzcut"/ "nice skirt legs" (as I should)
    Ashton I think "red" (red hair Ashton was the era I first got into 5sos)
    Michael I think "presence" (cause he's always streaming and he lowkey gives off stan twt vibes)

    Ashton is heartfelt, Calum is sassy, Michael is wholesome, and Luke is soft.
    Easier is the song that made me a 5SOS fan. It will rule my heart forever. The aesthetic seen in both the official mv and the From the Vault version is breathtaking, the production is top tier, and the vocals kill me. I'll never get over it. My favorite era from the boys and a SPECTACULAR depression album to just sit with whenever you are in your feelings.

    I LOVE this album and the concept of a toxic relationship shown as a construction of both sides faults, not as a blame the other kinda thing, but a lot of self reflection of what the protagonist did wrong, and being so real and honest about the up and downs of being in one, that's why I love 5sos
    Ps: you should listen Heartbreak weather by Niall, is a concept album about all the phases of a breakup and how they change everyday, and sometimes in a unpredictable way, like weather

    CALM is my favorite album, although i LOVE 5SOS5 for everything it represents for the band, CALM is the album that made me fall in love with them and I think this album is highly underrated by the fandom and the world

    CALM will forever hold such a special place in my heart! it got me through my last few weeks of college & the beginning of the pandemic like i would just listen on a loop while doing all my work and their little livestreams, videos, and virtual interviews they did for promo became such a comfort for me

    They actually said that "Digging my grave to get a reaction" is about how much celebs are willing to do to get attention, and the worst case they could think about was faking their deaths
    "changing my face and calling it fashion" is physically changing your appearance

    UMMMM, excuse me? Why have you only just now popped up on my YT? I loved that video of yours and I'm gonna binge some more now lol
    Lover Of Mine will always have a special place in my heart. I dragged my boyfriend to their concert last year and he told me his excitement would be hightened, but faked for my enjoyment, since he isn't really a fan, but then he actually cried during this song. In the end, the fun wasn't fake after all

  • @kai_yue

    I wonder how you would react to Yorushika. They have like the most conceptual albums.
    "A Loser Doesn't Need an Encore" album being about relationships when you are young. Much like love when you are a youth, but make it tragic.
    "That's Why I Gave Up On Music" album about Elma singing Amy's songs. Amy, an aspiring musician, moving to Europe after finding out he has terminal illness and sending letters to Elma before taking his own life. Elma following his footsteps and finding his lyrics and diary. Amy's diary comes alongside the album. Yes, N-Buna wrote a diary for this.
    "Amy" album being Elma's response to Amy. How she felt when they met, when he taught her about music, when he left without a goodbye, when he sent her letters and photos, and when she found his notes, diary, lyrics.
    "Creation" EP being about a woman who is a musician but died.
    "Plagiarism" album about the woman from Creation's husband. He plagiarizes songs because he loves them so much he wants to own them. It's an album about a sinner confessing his sins, including the fact that he also plagiarized his wife's works. It comes with a novel. Yes, he wrote that novel for this too.

    • @kai_yue
      @kai_yue Рік тому

      also, they're known for popularizing songs with tragic lyrics but upbeat or soothing melody. aaand, in their songs except the latest album, either somebody died, somebody wants to die, somebody already died, or somebody is about to die XD

    Their first release with American major label (Interscope) and it's really solid album. Andrew Watt for me is their fifth member, he really change the game.
    Youngblood is my favorite album, but CALM have the best production.

    love the analysis of no shame. definitely accurate and very interesting.
    but also, for me, smb who makes ship playlists, is forever horny, and uses songs as fic prompts, "got no shame, i love the way you're creaming my name" "you got me now, swallow me down"? sex song. on par with one direction's no control xD
