    I had high hopes for this album, but it's way too generic and it just doesn't have a kick. It's not horrible, but I really can't recommend it to anyone.

    Generally, the album takes no risks at all. For my taste, it's not enough.

    5SOS finds a balance in their sound here that feels right for them, and ultimately the accurately titled Sounds Good Feels Good suggests there isn’t actually all that big of a gap between the boy band and pop-punk milieus, and probably never was.

    Rather than feeling like a mash-up of their favourite bands--which is no bad thing--album two finds the four-man phenomenon firming up their identity and becoming their own band.

    They should step outside of their comfort zone more often.
