After a four year hiatus, CS comes roaring back with Youth.  Thankfully for us all, they are back to that traditional CS sound, and all is right with the world.  For a long time I even thought this might be my number two CS album.  It sits at number four currently, and mathematically speaking there's not much of gap between it and number three.  

Youth has three top 20 songs, the crown jewel being Satellite.  Which is a crazy good song, but once you have kids it amplifies that love for it tremendously.  Overall it's a very balanced album, especially the top seven songs all of which come in just over the top 40.  

And conversely there are only two songs in the bottom 20. And to be honest they really aren't that bad of songs, I just feel both songs' choruses get kind of obnoxious after a while.  A little too much bubble gum for my taste, on an otherwise great album.
