Like it a lot. Definitely sounds like an early blink tune with Skiba singing. Much prefer it to the emo goth thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 So the speaking part at the beginning of "Warbrain" is Craig from +44? Wow, mind blown. Small world. “My buddy Craig Fairbaugh and I coined the term “warbrain” after staying up all night drinking in my apartment in San Francisco. The next afternoon we woke up feeling like a war had gone on in our skulls (don’t try this at home). The spoken intro is Craig reading from his personal writings."

I used to listen to this song all of the time driving to high school, haven't heard it in a long time. I miss the alcoholic, non-skull and bones Trio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking through their merch online the other day and the vast majority of it would only really be appropriate on a 15-year-old emo kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that’s a perfect description. I remember going to Hot Topic and for a while it seemed like it was Misfits merch followed closely by alkaline merch. Glory days.

zzzz Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Good lord I wish Skiba would save some of these riffs for Blink!!!! Goodbye Fire Island could be a Blink song, banger. Edit: And "Throw Me To The Lions", banger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 i gotta say, i'm a little disappointed by dan's songs this time around and i usually prefer them. he had five years to come up with new songs. i wonder what happened. most of them sound cow punk/dad rocky. love the rest of the songs though and i agree about the riffs. i wish skiba was allowed to contribute to blink because he has some good ones here @Ghent will probably like goodbye fire island. it has to be a rejected blink song. he even wrote it after the whole fyre fest thing happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 9/10 for me on my first listen. Dan songs are kinda lacking except for Little Help. I feel like the trickle down blink fans checking this out are gonna enjoy it. It could be a big album for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 the riff in the sweet vampires outro is something he definitely learned from playing tom's riffs a thousand times haha. not complaining though. i feel like mark's hairline will recede a few more inches after hearing this record knowing that blink could have put out something decent. also, where's the b-sides? every trio album has a few 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I can't listen to Demon and Division. Nothing wrong with the song itself but the mixing fucks my ears up. I'm not one to complain about mixing when it comes to songs. But man does this one give me a headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Kevin. The album is so good and I'm glad Skiba is writing great songs again. I've grown to love Dan more than him as a songwriter over the past 13-12 years and I'm not sure how I feel about his songs on this album because my expectations were high and he kinda let me down. They're fun and fast, with some weird touch of country/punk influence but he could have come up with some way better stuffs in 5 years. Random stuffs: I don't see the resemblance with Maybe I'll Catch Fire but I there are some Good Mourning vibes here and there; I think the bridge on Demon and Division is their best bridge since I Was A Prayer and my fave songs so far are Throw Me to The Lions and Blackbird. Goodbye Fire Island is the one I like the least. I expected a total different album but I like it! it's a 7.5/10 to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 having seen Dan play an acoustic show, he's pretty funny and lighthearted in a way I never really saw. I really wish ALKIII would do a storytellers type of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
