* NewSoundAlbum: ''Celebrate'' is LighterAndSofter than ''Memories of a Beautiful Disaster'', with more of a focus on pop elements than the hard rock of the latter. ''Riot and Sunset'' is sort of fusion between the two, returning to the rock-and-roll sensibilities of ''Memories'', but keeping the lighter tone of ''Celebrate'' (for the most part).
