Cheerios4u98 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think blink usually has really solid album openers, but I think Ghost is by far the weakest opening track on any release to date (unless we're counting Dogs Eating Dogs).

Kay Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Im also in the 'this isnt the best way to do this" camp. Also I (surprisingly) voted for Cynical. Both songs have glaring flaws but I can't get past some of Toms awful lines and vocals in that song, and the guitar parts in Ghost have always bugged me (those high chords in the verses are just irritating). the song has some great harmonies, the chorus is pretty good, but its basically if AVA did There Is and I've always had more complaints than praise for it.

dildo69er Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Cynical as the guitar on ghost is just weak when it would be a great track with some meat on itSent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I loved Ghost On The Dancefloor when they played it live, those drums... I couldn't take my eyes off of Travis the whole time, but I voted for Cynical because it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 After being highly disappointed in "Up All Night" and thinking "Heart's All Gone" was pretty cool. The intro to "Ghost" sort of blew me away and then I was disappointed in Tom's voice and self-stealing, but loved the chorus. "Cynical" is pretty meh.

raw_sounds Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Wtf? Ghost is a great song, but the verses are a copy paste from There is... Cynical is probably the best song so far of this era, and one of the best after 2009, by a long shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd rather listen to a There Is rip-off instead of a song that Frankensteins elements of Feeling This, Adam's Song and apparently ATSM.

I wish there were elemens from Adam's Song, there´s no Feeling This in there Cynical is this era´s Carousel, Nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. The opening drums are ripped from Feeling This while Adam's Song plays in the background. Cynical is nowhere close to Carousel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
