I disagree. Despite being a lot of Tom, Mark is all over the songs, too. I didn’t feel that on Neighborhoods.

 

sounds a lot like one of the singers sings a lot

 

The Skiba albums are split like virtually down the middle, I wouldn't even be shocked if the % actually favors Skiba lol

Idk why people are saying those are Mark heavy

 

Only guess is that Mark is on literally every single Skiba era song if I remember correctly

 

You may be right. It may be due to the severe lack of him on Neighborhoods and somewhat on Untitled. It was super refreshing to hear a lot of him.

 

That helps my point though. I’m saying it’s the most Tom heavy.

 

Yeah there was definitely too little Mark on those records. I don't mind getting a ton of Tom on this one so much since he's been out of it, but it probably wouldn't sit as high with me since I've always favored Mark since Dude Ranch

 

Give me a few Mark songs, a few Tom songs, and a whole lot of both of them.

 

so far we've gotten a whole lot of both of them imo

mark's harmonies + vocal interplay on neighborhoods is one of the real highlights of that record, just wanted to say

 

Love the way he harmonizes under Tom, for sure!

 

More Than You Know
Dance With Me
Edging
Fell In Love
One More Time

 

I def prefer Mark in smaller doses,on backvocals or bridges.
It’s where he’s stronger.
Tom is best on choruses.
Like them both on verses,preferably dual vocals.

 

I'm so happy I got to see Adam's Song live the other night

 

Yeah I’m loving having both of them on these tracks. That’s the one thing I loved about the Skiba era, so I’m glad they’re sticking with it.

 

Hell yea! It was so good to hear earlier in the year for me.

 

Maybe we should wait for the album to be out to decide if it’s Tom heavy or not?


Hot take I guess

 

Kind of a fun thing I'm doing to pass the time til the album, randomizing a 15 song setlist for blink but then finding (through setlist.fm) the most recent time they played those songs live (on youtube). Makes me check out live videos I never would have normally watched and seeing any/all the variations they put on them.

 

It seems like Mark has tons of harmonies on all of these songs that are an octave under Tom. I sort of wondered when the clip came out of him saying that chemo wrecked his vocal chords that he would mostly sing lower harmonies and take a little bit of a backseat vocally out of necessity. But maybe that won't be the case for the rest of the album.

 

Has an answer ever been given if Dammit was ever tracked with Tom on the chorus? Or did that happen organically after a few live versions?

 

From my recollection, Mark wrote it out of his range and wrecked his voice recording it. I think the live swap was out of not wanting him to destroy his voice live.
