Loving Wildflower! :wub: Really can't wait to hear the full album now, feel like it has the potential to become their best work to date.

 

I ended up impulse buying the boxset bundle, the signed cassette bundle and the pink vinyl from their store this morning :ph34r:

Having all the previously released singles back to back felt like such a drag listening to this
Wildflower is the first song I dont like from the album, shocking choice. Not as excited for the album now sadly.
Just listened to the album and it's surprisingly good - probably their best yet! I like how over the years they've evolved their sound to keep up with the times while still keeping their identity, if that makes sense. I hope it does well for them, although their lack of singles success recently probably doesn't bode too well for it.
My signed CD arrived from Amazon :cheer: Been streaming it too - really good album, I hope it does well for them although I can’t see it hanging around for long.

All of my bundles arrived today, and they're absolutely stunning :wub: (I think I've accidentally received an extra signed Luke cassette though :lol: does anybody want one?)

 

I think my only problem with the album is that it sounds like Easier and Teeth were meant for a completely different sounding album. That aside, it's really some of their strongest material.

 

Initial ranking:

 

1. Wildflower

2. Best Years

3. Lonely Heart

4. No Shame

5. Easier

6. High

7. Not in the Same Way

8. Thin White Lies

9. Old Me

10. Red Desert

11. Lover of Mine

12. Teeth

Wildflower is excellent :wub: They've been consistently strong with their recent material, really looking forward to hearing the new album!
Really shocked they are ahead of Dua Lipa in the album midweeks at number 1.

 

I’m not - it’s a solid album and they have always been decent album sellers and have totally nailed the pre-orders and bundles this time.

5SOS fanbase must be more dedicated when it comes to pre-ordering physicals. Presumably Dua Lipa will perform a lot better on streaming, and yesterday's mids would have only had 1 day of streaming applied to it. She has the advantage of having big hit singles to push this album, whereas the 5SOS singles haven't really caught on unfortunately.

I'm glad 5SOS are looking to do well, it'll be interesting to see how the sales hold up over the next few days and whether Dua Lipa is able to catch them.

Finally got around to listening - another great album from them :wub: I'll need to listen again to let the newer tracks sink in, but Best Years is my initial favourite!

I just looked at their US store and seen they have even more formats on there. Individual cover CDs (signed) and individual cover 12" picture disc vinyl (also signed). Maybe they missed a trick not having those available in the UK as well?

 

As well as this, the US has a digital bonus track - Kill My Time:

 

 

... this deserved to be properly included on the album! :( Region exclusive/digital only tracks are such a pet hate of mine.
