Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 606

Someone commented that Mark says 'she said' too much.

Meanwhile, Skiba literally has a song called 'She Said' on his most recent solo album, haha.

 

Holy lol. They're really reaching for the hate now.

 

I like Bowling For Soup - but I'd never put them up against Blink.

 

It's whatever, I just might not be digging this style in general. I like the other two songs more

 

I actually thought Jim Adkins could have been a good replacement for Tom last year.

 

So happy I get to jam this song as I get ready for the show tonight! Summer is here, blink is back, and I am just overflowing with joy.

I never really got into alk trio before this, but each song we've got so far has made me fall more in love with Matt's voice. The hype is real.

 

I love the theory that Mark was the one that dropped this song on Reddit earlier (user: overview for blinkforlife182 ). At first, I thought it was just reddit being reddit, but then I started to actually think it's possible. Either way, I'm very entertained by the whole thing.

 

Really really do not like this new Blink track. Didn't like Rabbit Hole either. Eh. Very very disappointed with the new "sound" or new Blink refresh or whatever. I'm not a Tom fan but today is the first day I missed him.

Also, holy autotune.

 

Next they will say "Skiba sucks, he properly pronounces words too much"

 

Hmm. The bridge is cool. Matt sounds great as usual. I wish the whole song had more of that melancholic tone. It sounds kinda like Set Phasers to Stun by Taking Back Sunday.

I don't like the stop start strumming pattern in the chorus. I dunno what I was expecting but there's just something about the melodies of these songs that isn't doing it for me. Not that I'm like "ZOMG REMAKE ENEMA OF THE DUDE PANTZ!!" or anything and want them to rehash stuff but they just don't sound very "blink-ish" for lack of a better word.

 

This song isn't very good

 

agreed.

 

I'm probably a bigger Jimmy fan than I am a blink fan, but I don't see this working for me. I'd love to hear Jim and Mark on a separate project or something, but not necessarily blink.

 

I hate gang vocals so much, they just remind me of new school pop punk and the bro-y "my friends look out for each other" attitude that just totally immediately turns me off. I know blink isn't one of those bands, but I don't want them to sound at all like that scene.

Otherwise it's alright. I liked how dark the opening verse was, didn't love the tonal leap to a bouncy, happy chorus, but overall I guess it's alright. I liked Matt's vocals a lot.

I know blink has never been much lyrically, they're no John Darnielle or Nas or whatever, but the lyrics on these new songs, I think this one especially, are so vague and empty. Like, even on their pre-breakup material, sure some lyrics were immature and even when they went darker on untitled things were more angsty than truly much better in quality, but there was a specificity to them, the way Mark and Tom wrote felt specific and real and like there were centralized ideas. I do not get the same vibe at all from any of these songs. Except the joke songs, and... That sucks. Maybe time will help the lyrics settle in better for me.

I won't deny that I found the song mostly enjoyable to my ears, if not anything incredible, so hopefully at the very least that's what I get out of the album.

 

I can't imagine Jim Adkins singing blink-182 songs. He's too precious. Brian Sella could've done a job though, but for me Matt Skiba is the perfect replacement.

 

What an odd yet perfect argument.

 

I've been on a blink kick (big surprise) but I have to say when I try to listen to TOYPAJ lately, I want to come right back to the new songs. That hasn't really happened to me with Dude Ranch, Enema or Untitled. If the rest of the album follows suit it definitely has a chance to surpass that one for me.

 

I've gathered that this song sounds like every other band ever except blink. Ugh, the internet.

 

I love No Future, you guys.

 

No Future is dope. I'm in!

 

I'm starting to like where blink is now. They have a pretty diverse catalogue and I think this new album will add to it perfectly. Blink can't keep making music with the same sound. This truly is blink in 2016 and I'm totally fine with that. If im missing the old sound, I'll just go back and listen to EOTS or TOYPAJ.

 

Every band except blink-182 apparently.

 

Eh, don't love this song either. 0/3 so far, but will still give the album a few spins as a whole.

 

No Future was my most anticipated track from California, did not disappoint. She's Out of Her Mind not takes the most anticipated title.

 

not into it.
