Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 815

California is a great song!

 

An equivalent take to saying the trilogy is Green Day’s best work tbh

 

California is one of the best songs on that album lol what are people doing here

 

Idk, it's just both musical & lyrical nothing. Absolutely nothing about California grabs me. Not even enough for me to say I dislike it, I just feel so ambivalent about it, which is a worse crime.

NOTE: The song, not the album

 

It's just funny how much Brad despises Bottom of the Ocean and California lol

 

California is actually one of my faves on the album.

 

I said it before and I’ll say it again.


I like California and will defend it because of Skiba’s firey backup vocals in the final choruses

 

I know Scott isn’t in the Wraith anymore but I saw this today and giggled. Sid from Toy Story is a true fan.

 

Maybe they aren’t “bad songs” but yeah I can’t stand those 2. Haha.

 

If some backup vocals at the end of the song are it’s one saving grace, that says a lot about the song as a whole, in my opinion. Haha.

But to each their own! Xo

 

California isn't a very good song imo.

 

Get outta here with that boxing day hate

ITS THE DAY AFTER FREAKING CHRISTMAS

 

California isn’t a horrible song, but it isn’t a very good song either.

 

Spotify users up 549k since Monday

8.77 mil to 9.32 mil

 

Number of monthly Spotify listeners has increased to 9.3 mln, if I remember correctly by 700k in 1 week, which is impressive.

 

I just listened through California again, and wow, it's full of absolute bops. They kind of tried to do everything on that album, so some songs were executed better than others, but no two sound the same, so it's not even that much of an issue.

Also, BIOMY sounds better in the context in the context of that album if that makes? Like I dislike it in the context of Untitled & Neighborhoods-era blink, but it sounds fine in the the context of Matt-blink? Still think the intro sounds a bit weird, but it's still cool

 

My 6 six year old nephew loves BIOMY. First Blink song I've gotten him to sing along to and he's keeping it on repeat lol.

 

Haven't seen your post, weird

 

Notice the lowercase "b".

 

I think the lowercase b was their all the time

 

No Future is my 3 year old’s favorite blink song.

 

I hate that it has the melody from All Star

In a new interview on @kroq, @travisbarker said quite a few interesting things. Here are the key takeaways:
• 90% of the new blink-182 album, including Blame It On My Youth, started with a drum beat. According to Travis, this approach helps crafting diverse songs.
• The new album "is coming so soon. I don't even wanna tell you guys what we're doing right now."
• Some songs off of the new album are reminiscent of the untitled record and are "definitely far different than California".
• A dear friend of his he's known for over 20 years is working on the album art.

There you go. With these songs (no order here) you'd have had an imo incredibly consistent and strong comeback album.
