let me preface by saying: 5SOS5 > CALM. since CALM was my first release of them, i'll always hold it close but...i also have majorly only that album for direct comparison so... apologies in advance!
while in retrospect CALM feels like a rushed project with limited and repeated themes, they seem to have taken their sweet time with 5SOS5. its sound and words both appear well-rounded and intentional. easily one of the top 3 of all time. it's not their best (yb my queen) but it's giving...a sense of freedom and maturity (that comes with age and more life experiences) and i dig it so bad.
the biggest takeaway from 5SOS5, for me, is the way they've used all the boys' vocals. as much as i love luke being the lead vocalist, they all have unique vocals and i just got so happy when i could hear those verses in each of their voices. secondly, i hope michael gets all the love and recognition he deserves for producing some of those gems along with his vocals of course! maybe it's just my emo heart but i root for him every time i hear him sing. but... 5sos5 produced by michael clifford... and how (i'm aware there's other producers lol) but he's done a phenomenal job and i need him to know that.
i haven't really kept up with fandom reactions, charts and reviews and stuff so i'm not aware if the album was well-received. i just hope it was!!! they're learning and living life and doing their thing in their own corner where no one's watching (except for their fans of course) and i hope they get more love in future, they definitely deserve a greater spotlight and i am waiting for it for them
The Justice Department has had a pattern or practice investigation ongoing into the Louisville Police Department since April 2021.
The federal charges against officer Joshua Jaynes, former Louisville detective Kelly Goodlett and officer Kyle Meany allege that they violated Taylor's 4th Amendment rights when they sought a warrant to search Taylor's home while knowing they lacked probable cause, and that they knew their affidavit supporting the contained false and misleading information and omitted other material information, resulting in her death. Goodlett and Jaynes have been charged with conspiracy for allegedly falsifying the affidavit for a search warrant, according to the justice department.
The federal charges allege that police officers falsified the affidavit used to obtain the search warrant of Taylor's home and that this act violated federal civil rights laws, resulting in her death. Former Louisville detective Kelly Goodlett and officer Joshua Jaynes have been charged with conspiracy for allegedly falsifying the affidavit for a search warrant, according to the justice department.
Charges have also been filed against Brett Hankison a former Louisville Metro Police officer who was involved in the death of Breonna Taylor. Hankison has been charged in a two-count indictment for deprivation of rights under color of law, both of which are civil rights offenses.
"We share, but we cannot fully imagine, the grief felt by Breonna Taylor's loved ones and all of those affected by the events of March 13, 2020. Breonna Taylor should be alive today," Garland said during a press conference.
characters will literally get a headache or nosebleed out of nowhere and be like "huh. weird. well it's probably nothing." girl, look around you. you're in a story. it's relevant to the plot.
