I can't decide if I still like The Sounds. Their first album "Living in America" was so solid and "Dying to Say This to You" was a good follow-up. I'd listen to them both on repeat in full back in 2006/2007. But nothing they've done since comes close to the lesser tracks on either of those albums.
This is one of their latest songs and I think it could've been improved by a little less repetition. The chorus could've been better with some different words. Instead of, uh, repeating "the things we do for love" thrice each time.
This song auto-played right after and this one also keeps repeating "safe and sound." I'd almost prefer they'd pop out a thesaurus just to get some different words. Maybe I'm being too hard on the repeating words. I could probably find examples in their old shit, too. But those songs had hooks and slapped. Their recent stuff sounds like they're tired.
