       The self-titled CD by the Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer rocks out with a joyful spirit. "Kiss Me Kiss Me" thunders at full volume, "Let's make tonight the best of our lives." "18" is catchy with about every obstacle to young love referenced, "She told me to meet her there, but I can't afford bus fare." "Long Way Home" has a melody that sets it apart, "We're hiding out in a dream; Catching fire like kerosene." The set closer "Amnesia" appeals to me with some acoustic guitar and a brokenhearted melody, "I remember the day you told me you were leaving; I remember the makeup running down your face." While some of the tracks have a similar sound, there are enough great tracks here to endear the disc to your ear. Enjoy!
