It’s Blink-182 – “Bored to Death” Day • Page 7

Man, I've listened to the song 3 times in a row. It's a really solid track. I couldn't really recognize Matt's voice on first listen but this song hasn't let me down to say the least. Now onto the album!

 

I still can't hear Matt

 

I really dig it off the first listen.

Probably been said pages ago but I'd laugh if they spacey bit at the end is a dig at Tom haha

Travis is sooo friggen good in this



I like Skiba's voice. It's very smooth. I do worry how similar it is to marks

 

He sings the entire 2nd verse and chorus lead-in

 

He sings the first half of the choruses and the second verse

 

love the song. well worth the wait.

 

YES. It sounds like +44 and I love that. I think Matt is trying a little too hard at times to ape Tom but not a deal-breaker. I think this song is going to grow on me a lot.

California is a meh title, but I'm going to judge this on the music.

 

Best song they've release in years, holy wow.

 

Thanks. Can hear it now. Sounds like the whole chorus to me other than the 'life's too short' bit.

God damn, my two favourite singers from my two favourite bands and I can barely tell them apart!

 

How much control over the band does Tom actually have? Do they have some agreement where all three members have to sign off, or is this a situation where the 2/3rds of blink can over rule Tom?

 

Pretty sure this song just played on a different socal radio station..98.7 maybe?

 

Wish it was possible to get more info on this - the "friendly divorce" comments made in the past made it seem like Tom was in the rear-view. Disappointing if he can come back and fuck things up yet again. Wish he'd just get out and move on.

 

My first post on the new site and I can't think of better circumstances to do it under. Song is fantastic - like a perfect marriage of old pop punk Blink, self-titled edge, and shades of +44 with great productions thanks to John. And Travis is killing it as always.

I have to admit that I couldn't tell the two voices apart until someone pointed out which was which a minute ago haha.

Also if that previous post about Tom returning to the band or basically threatening legal battles just makes me sad; hopefully it's not true and we get to enjoy this new version of Blink cos this is great. Listening to it for roughly the 10th time now...

HEY TOM CLEVER DISGUISE

 

I will miss Tom, but this is a really cool song!

 

It's back.

 

You blew my cover almost immediately. A lot of good those top level government contacts did in helping to disguise me.

 

After the 10th time listening it's safe to say that new blink is going to rule.
Feldmann was the right choice.
Let's all hope they're going to drop the album tomorrow!

 

Kroq just said Mark and Travis and maybe Skiba will be at the studio to announce it in about 20 minutes

Listen to KROQ on Radio.com

 

I fuckin' love it.

 

This is surprisingly great. Much better than the over-produced garbage that was Neighborhoods. Reminds me of some of their older material and will be a really fun summer LP. With that being said, I'll consider this "Blink-183" not Blink-182.

 

I could do without some of the echo-ey vocals and thats pretty much my only criticism.

This song exceeds all expectations...

 

It's probably a 50/50 thing between Mark/Tom.

I'm not sure how travis would be brought into ownership partially through the band's existence.

 

It's funny that you/others consider Neighborhoods over produced, because this is without a doubt, the MOST produced they've ever been. And there's nothing wrong with that, but this is classic Feldman swinging for the fences.

 

Maybe not over-production then, maybe that record sucked because it was weird / overly experimental and they seemed to lose their roots / what made them good in the first place?
