I have never heard of Why Don't We. Another band named after a mundane phrase like One Night Only and Picture This.

this is easily in my top 3 of their songs already cheeseblock.png

also Corbyn in the video, whew. I've officially changed stan lanes *.*

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 29th September 2020, 05:26 PM

Pretty decent! It wouldn't be out of place on one of 5SOS' recent albums.

I didn't know Why Don't We used such political themes!

Posted by: Tafty 29th September 2020, 06:07 PM

This is v catchy. Reminds me of 'Youngblood' by 5SOS, except with a pretty basic chorus as opposed to something striking like 'Youngblood' (I don't mean that negatively as such, coz it's a good chorus - just that each chorus is the same tempo and there's barely any progression from one chorus to the next, if that makes sense lmao)

'tis good though.

Edit: Also, what is the sample with the drum beat at the start (and throughout)?

Posted by: Вuzzjack user 29th September 2020, 06:11 PM

Yes it reminds me a little of 5Sos in terms of style and it is quite good.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 3rd October 2020, 04:49 AM

The comparisons with 5SOS seem accurate because I remembered them when I listened to "Fallin'" too. As a side note, to avoid the confusion with their track "Falling", it was renamed to "Can't You See".

The track samples "Black Skinhead" by Kanye West.

A Last.fm nightmare 🤭

I concur that Fallin' is reminiscent of 5SOS - Youngblood... this is like a less frenetic version of that song. It's very catchy!

Posted by: HausofGhibli 4th October 2020, 09:07 PM

This is great ohmy.gif The 'Black Skinhead' sample is genius and the song as a whole is a VIBE. Definitely getting the 'Youngblood' comparisons.

Debuts at #37 in the US!!!!

Absolutely insane, their first hot 100 entry ever wub.gif

The song is holding up really well for me, easily in their top 4 best songs ever <3

Posted by: GhoulOdyssey 12th October 2020, 09:52 PM

Woah that's fantastic! I've been really liking this new single but haven't heard much of their past work, what would you recommend?

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th October 2020, 09:55 PM

Incredible result, SO thrilled for them!

There's nothing much like Fallin' but a few songs I'd recommend are Hooked, 8 Letters, Cold in LA and Talk!

Posted by: Grim Bréaper 12th October 2020, 11:00 PM

They must have located their 6 credit cards x

This song is decent, I was a bit skeptical hearing about it sampling 'Black Skinhead' but it is a pretty good use of the sample.

The last.fm nightmare continues because "Fallin'" has been renamed to "Fallin' (Adrenaline)".

Bit late to this considering I loved all the singles from '8 Letters', but this is excellent! Very excited to hear more from this era if it continues the same kinda sound.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 9th November 2020, 08:29 AM

Woah I hope the band setup stays!


Posted by: Jay* 9th November 2020, 12:39 PM

Kind of interesting that they've changed their image to the extent of using instruments in performances... makes me wonder why that wasn't their direction in the first place? It makes them come across like a different act altogether!

Posted by: UltraFolklore 12th November 2020, 05:10 AM

Album out 15th January!!!! Called the good times & the bad ones. The artwork is v nice <3 10 tracks! Fallin is track one!

That’s a really good release date, me and Joseph were saying that mid Jan would be the perfect time for them to drop an album so so glad this is actually the case!! I can see this getting really good peaks with that date yasss *.* and glad we have a couple more tracks than 8 letters had

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th November 2020, 06:54 AM



LOVE the artwork!

Posted by: Calum 12th November 2020, 07:53 AM

Excited!!

Posted by: Tombo 12th November 2020, 10:57 AM

Just listening to Fallin’ for the first time and it is pretty dope. I love the sample also, Black Skinhead is one of my favourite Kanye tracks.

Posted by: JosephCarey 30th November 2020, 09:33 PM

Lotus Inn is being released as single 2 on Friday by the looks of it!

I like it but don't love, Fallin' was better.

The verses are fab, I feel the chorus falls a bit flat

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 6th December 2020, 11:45 AM

Think I'm preferring Lotus Inn right now, very excited for the album!

Posted by: JosephCarey 6th December 2020, 12:08 PM

I love Lotus Inn! The chorus works for me, the only issue is Daniel on verse 2 - did he have a sore throat during recording???

Posted by: awardimerry 7th December 2020, 12:38 PM

Not sure if it was posted here previously, but just over a week ago James Hype released a remix of Fallin’ (Adrenaline);


Posted by: JosephCarey 17th December 2020, 07:00 AM



Really liking the vibe of this!

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 2nd January 2021, 11:33 AM

This album is going to be fantastic! Loved all 3 singles so far

Posted by: UltraEvermore 15th January 2021, 06:04 AM

11 Fallin’ - their best song
09 Slow Down - bop
09 Lotus Inn - bop
07.5 Be Myself - generic but nice WDW ballad, what am I part 2
09 Love Song - BOP, this slaps
06.5 Grey - cute but dear lord it drags
08 For You - generic bop
08.5 I’ll Be Okay - interesting bop
06 Look At Me - I was not expecting a sex bop bordering on explicit af 😂 anyway under 2 min songs are a no and the start of the song what on earth, would probs be an 8 without those 2 things
07 Stay - fine closer that I probs won’t go back to much

Way better on the whole than 8 letters, I’m impressed x

The way look at me is the first song I went back to despite it being my lowest rating 😂😂

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th January 2021, 04:38 PM

Played it a few times now! Each of the songs has clicked with me but some took longer than others. Love Song and Grey were the most instant of the newies - the former's very catchy and a future single if they actually continue promoting this era, and the latter's beautiful, their most touching song to date? Look At Me is FILTH but such a bop, Stay's a lovely closer, and the other three all clicked with me today heart.gif Really strong album and feels much more like a body of work than 8 Letters did (which was by no means a bad album, it was my end of year #1 album of 2018 kink.gif). I think, considering they've been SO much more active in writing and producing this album, they can be very proud of the result!

Posted by: Lomadz 18th January 2021, 05:29 PM

Shocked by this, stunning album. I'll be okay is my favourite song in a long time

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 19th January 2021, 01:03 PM

The singles are unfortunately by far the best of the album for me, though I do also quite like Love Song and I'll Be Okay.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st January 2021, 11:15 AM

Only just found out that 'Slow Down' heavily samples '1979' by The Smashing Pumpkins laugh.gif
