The band's aesthetic is actually pretty ingenious, inviting fans of both genres to come together, sing along to the pristine choruses and head-bang ever so slightly. It's no wonder that 5 Seconds of Summer is one of the biggest new artists in mainstream music. With "5 Seconds of Summer," the group's self-titled debut album, 5SOS also declares itself one of pop's most promising new artists. All American" flash the type of tight songwriting and lyrical wit that bodes well for the young artists' future, and the album's production, largely helmed by John Feldmann former leader of Goldfinger , is clean and compact. The heart-torn ballads don't work quite as well, but album closer "Amnesia" connects with a maturity atypical of teenage performers.

Overall, "5 Seconds of Summer" is a delightful debut from a group that cannot be easily pigeonholed, and is worth paying attention to.
