Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1110

mmmm I like Parking Lot a lot.

 

But...Brohemian Rhapsody ends in complete silence.

 

I think every opinion is respectful. There will be always haters or lovers of the new material each band releases. For me I can say that I like both of their directions either Unitled / Neighborhoods / DED or Enema / TOYPAJ / California.
We can always want and dream about something else, but I am happy to see that guys are not going Linkin Park's direction.

 

As do I. I can't get it out of my head. I get why some people may not care for it, but it strikes a nostalgia with me remembering dumb hanging out with friends in high school. Also I think Matt sounds amazing on it.

 

You sir, win my good guy award of the day. I love this post. What I meant when I said respectful was that he didn't proceed to bash the song or people who like it like some are want to do. Same is opposite too, people who love it and bash the ones that hate it are just as bad. People forget not everyone has to think like you sometimes

 

Whether you like the song or not, I'm just glad the band is active again and people still care about them.

 

THIS

 

This more than anything. I'd be really bummed if Blink had broken up after the last Tom fiasco. I just can't quit them!

 

Yeah it really would have been a terrible ending for the band, even worse than 2005 when they split up at their peak.

 

Same. I love that my favorite band is so active and doing so positive in the public eye again. I would have hated it if they ended after the most recent fiasco after getting my hopes up with the reunion

 

Yeah I think this will be the Rabbit Hole of the deluxe for me. That chorus did get stuck in my head bad when it came out lol. But once the album came out I was just like there's so much better on here.

 

I've never seen a blink song getting such a bad reaction among their fanbase, which is very telling of how weak "Parking Lot" is...

I don't know if releasing this song first should be considered scary or just weird...

 

I feel like a weirdo because No Future is one of my favorites on California, and I often see it listed as one of the weaker tracks on the album. I can agree there's an over abundance of "na na's" but it's just so damn fun.

 

But for how long when they keep phoning it in like this? I know I'm losing interest.

 

"John Feldman makes me sing the na na's"...safe to say the band is aware of the feldman critique and they don't care haha

 

that statement about feldmann making them sing the nanas could also, you know, be a joke

 

I second your opinion so don't worry. Love me some NF, it's one of my top 3 on California

 

If you're losing interest in a band that you like that sucks. I'm very happy with the direction of the band right now and don't think they're phoning it in by any means.

 

Yeah between Feldmann's earlier tweet and then Mark's I think it was meant to be a joke.

 

I was in the camp of thinking the "sounds like Goldfinger!" comments were overblown, but as a Goldfinger fan for like 15 years, "No Future" is the only song on the album that I immediately could recognize was written by Feldmann. Not that it automatically makes it bad, but it just didn't really feel all that inspired to me.

I also usually love when Travis does a super complicated pattern during verses, but his part during the first one actually makes it very confusing. It feels very unnecessary to me.

That said, the bridge during that song is one of my favorites by far.

 

I like No Future. I'm not a huge fan of the chorus, something just seems off on it but Matt's verse is great (might be my favorite verse on the whole album) as is the bridge. He absolutely kills it on that song.

 

Can you stop with the meme replies? It's annoying as shit.

 

Only things I don't like about this song are the "nah nah"s "whoa"s stuff, and mark's verse. I would have prefered it if Matt did all the vocals on this one. Mark's verse feels forced and unnecessary here. The instrumentals are cool and Matt does a good job vocally though so I can appreciate it for what it is.

 

Maybe "Parking Lot" is a California parody, 'cause it looks like they combined most complaints people had in just one (joke?) song.
