If one of the best songs on California can't beat one of the worst song on Neighborhoods, then it will obviously be a clean sweep for Neighborhoods. That's all I was saying. It sounded like you think we all vote for Neighborhoods because we "hate" Cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 sober doesn't even sound like blink to me... it's just so formulaic. that said, i enjoy it still, and snake charmer has some of the worst lyrics. the only saving grace of that is the outro, which tom didn't touch. so sober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 wtf I had no idea Snake Charmer was a "bonus track." I guess I have just never even considered Neighborhoods that way since I had the full version from day 1 and they seem to treat that as the actual album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Always found it odd that they put a bonus track in the front half of an album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boring.........Alright Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I like Sober a lot but had to go with Snake Charmer. One of my all time favorite Blink songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Embarassed to admit this but Snake Charmer is one of my faves from Neighborhoods. its got some goddamn cringe I won't lie, but I just love it, especially the chorus and the weird outro and the drums on the bridge are pretty grand. some dumbass lyrics and Tom sounds like a spanner but I love it regardless. Sober is if blink was written by Pharrell Williams, as far as I'm concerned. total wankfest. Obvious choice for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Snake Charmer for sure! I actually really like it. Easy choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd14 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I really like snake charmer but i had to give it to sober ... Neighbourhoods has alot of my favourite songs from blink 182 tho wishing well will be a huge winner too I'm guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerpipe Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sober. Snake charmer is an alright song but sober is a top ten blink song for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dildo69er Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Snake charmer was quite a different track and the closest thing we got to a joke song...most days it would probably lose to a california song but not against the turd that is Sober.

vic vinegar Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ummm...snake charmer by default. I think sober epitomizes everything wrong with the new direction of blink and I'm hoping I never have to hear it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00bies Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 snake charmer is a boss. the bridge sounds awesome, a perfect example of how you shoud fit "ohhh ohhh's" in a song, it has a desperate feeling to it and sounds really natural, flawless, dark and overall great vibe - one of the best blink songs, all kinds of progressive material. what does sober has to offer? nananas and generic sound, drums are cool though.

Low Value Boy Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Both pretty bad songs, going to have to give this one a bit of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm a simple man. I like Sober. I voted Sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I like Snake Charmer, I found that song haunting. That insanely famous and recycled riff is great, but yeah... overused by Tom. Lyrics are a different thing. I think is a very interesting effort, with all the different parts, which feels much less frankensteined as others on that record. It's weird because Neighborhodds has very good and kind of uplifting melodies, but just backed up with not uplifting music in the background, which ends up showing a twisted tone for the song. That creates a haunting effect on me. The chorus in this song is the perfect example. I mean I know this sounds crazy, but as I said in other post, this kind of songs and this album, overall, just portraits that very weird moment in blink's history. A band trying to be what it was, trying to provide a positive effort, but with a very twisted and bitter background going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 i'm not a big fan of snake charmer. it has this eastern/arabic feel, which makes it interesting, but i can't say i like it. it's not blink for me. sober is an instant classic. an easy, straightforward powerpop tune.

b00bies Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 man, how in the fuck Sober is an instant classic. it's unbelievable how low you can drop a standard for blink. sure, without Tom there are no chances to keep that standard, but we are all know what Mark and Travis are capable of - a hundred times better than Sober. it sucks that they took a super generic direction with Feldmann, can't do nothing about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Holy crap this is surprisingly close. I knew lots of people loved Sober and expected this round to break the neighborhoods winning streak easily but snake charmer is doing surprisingly well. I'm glad, but surprised.

The Arabic feel is a big part of why I can't stand the song, besides the cringe lyrics. It has such a good possibility for an awesome hook too, "good girls like to sin" but the rest of the song is just bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
