Album of the Month - 5 Seconds of Summer

The album opens in a tremendous fashion, launching into the single that made them the well-established band that they are now, "She Looks So Perfect" is still one of the strongest pop songs to come out of the past six months and "Don’t Stop" it’s follower, has proved that 5 Seconds Of Summer are going to be more than a one-hit-wonder. A lot can be distinguished from an album’s opening track, as it can provide the flavour of the tone and let the listener know what they're in for: this is perfectly achieved with She Looks So Perfect. The band’s website states that they are heavily pop-punk influenced, and this track is a solid product of this cannon. It happily bops and zips along with its own youthful charm, full of ridiculously catchy sing-a-long chants and lyrics that will melt teenage girls hearts by the thousands. My rating 7/10.
