The pop punk quintet return with their third album and it kicks off with as much energy as their previous. They prove they’ve still got what it takes as pumping electro beats and fast paced, witty lyrics resonate in each song. The line ‘smash it up’ really depicts the album perfectly, as it shows no signs of slowing down throughout. With Gabe Saporta’s addictive voice it is hard to stop listening. It is almost impossible not to sing along with the simple and memorable lyrics.
It is hard to listen to this album without the almighty urge to get up and dance forcing itself on you. With enough catchy choruses and drum beats to feed anyone’s partying side, this album is not for the boring.
Highlights on the album include ‘Move Like You Gonna Die’, a song that starts with so much power. The song sounds almost Fall Out Boy esq, with harmonies and hooks to make you listen again and again.
Their debut single from the album ‘Good Girls Go Bad’ sounds as fresh and the rest. The follow up single ‘Hot Fuss’ is set to be a hit which conjures up more images of fun and dancing. This record has no hint of sadness, just excitement and strong opinions.
The only time you get a chance to breath is at the very last track ‘The World Will Never Do’. Being the only down tempo song on the album, it seems like an apt ending. Turning some lyrics into ‘raps’ also, this really shows off a different side of the band.
After listening to this album, it is almost certain that one of the songs will be stuck in your head. And that’s no bad thing.
7/10.
