Stall did that for Dance With Me too. Still came out the same time for everyone

 

Officially started my discog run tonight, think I'll be able to listen to everything before the 20th. Tom's riffs on Cheshire Cat are already so good, he's such a creative guitarist for this genre

 

They were great last night! New songs are really great live. the Oles in dance with me are gonna be big.
The middle of the set was a bit of a lull but they ramped back up for the end and blasted through the 20 or so songs in like an 1hr 45. Tom is really seeming to love being on stage and having the chance to be a kind of defacto frontman walking around with the mic etc.
The crowd was kind of mid but it was a Wednesday so I don't know if that had any implication.

 

I think they mean it’s not midnight on the site for everyone? Like it doesn’t show midnight if you’re in NZ.

 

Out in NZ :)

 

Immediately reminded of Everythings Magic, but in a good way! Really great way to sample Close to Me aswell :)

 

Dislike

 

Fun song. Pretty easily my least favorite of the bunch, and I didn’t think the first verse was very good, but I do really like that chorus and Mark sounds really good! This album is going to be so varied - this is a very California, very poppy track.

Edit: second listen and okay this is a really fun song. The length and tempo remind me of don’t leave me. Repeating my “first verse bad” sentiment but the rest is a blast and that chorus really carries it

 

Need to be in NZ right about now...

 

Your internet connected device can be.

 

same. Interesting to hear though.

 

Heard a poor quality version of Fell in Love on twitter. I do get Cali vibes. Tom’s verses are different than what I’m used to hearing from him. Not my favorite out of the others we have heard, but I know my GF will love this song.

 

Sounds like a Nine B-Side featuring Tom

I couldn’t hold out

 

In my opinion it sounds like a big mix of Nine, California, and LIFEFORMS.

 

Lol yo you all are spot on. Definitely a song that sounds like it's from Nine.

Next AI youtube track...

"If Matt Skiba replaced Tom's verses on Fell in Love"

 

True. But while Zane Lowe may be a great interviewer, I have learned not listen to his opinions on albums and just go in blind. Because if you truly listen to Zane and go in with the expectations he has set, then every album that has ever been released is the greatest album ever made. Every time he talks to someone it is "THIS IS THE BEST THING YOU OR ANYONE ELSE HAS DONE IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC." Whenever he gives an endorsement, while he may be right from time to time, I'm reminded of the classic Ari Gold quote:

Eric: Well how are the Franco and Gosling movies?
Ari: I hear they're good. I hear that every movie at Sundance is the best movie that was ever made.

 

sir did you just quote entourage

 

Day 2!!

COUNTDOWN TO OMT BLINK HYPE WHEEL

Rules: at least once a day (can be done more!) leading up to release day for OMT, spin the wheel. Whatever the wheel decides, you MUST listen to what the wheel deems, regardless of if it’s your favorite or least favorite release by the blink or blink adjacent project chosen. I tried to encompass everything from early blink, side projects, etc.


Have fun and let us know what you get!

Wheel of Names



First album for me chosen by the wheel today is WDNTW

 

New song rules

 

I got “Blink one-off songs: Quarantine, I’ll Be Home For Christmas, Zulu, etc”.

 

part of his schtick is infinitely hyping whoever he’s talking to. He gets very good and in depth interviews, but he is so positive it gets into hyperbolic territory. not a knock on him, i appreciate his interviews, but their purpose is to make the artist feel comfortable and get great stories.

 

This one definitely has the strongest MGK/Nine vibes.

 

Na na na

 

Would be shocked if the album didn't sound like the last 2 albums Mark/Travis created mixed with the last album Tom created.
