182Tim Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Going to go with Left Alone here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 left alone has always been kinda forgettable to me... it's in that section of the album where all the songs sound the same until about san diego. i appreciate the synths, and its lyrics aren't as mind-numblingly dumb as some of its counterparts. and of course, it suffers from the same whoa-oh BS as the rest of it. mh 4.18.2011 i LOVED when it came out, but it only seems worse with age for me for some reason. a lot of tom's songs on neighbhorhoods seem to be throwbacks or striving to fit a sound, and MH feels like that for me. it's really catchy, though the helicopter line is a bit of an eye-roller after all these years. listening to both side-to-side, i like MH more, and that's not out of a desire to place neighborhoods over california. because rabbit hole vs. love is dangerous will be such a hard one because they're both shit lmao. so MH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00bies Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 i believe Tom never heard a MH song until the very last day. with Tom's input, like a better guitar hook, a better bridge and Tom shoulda been recorded this guitar part by himself (It's clearly Mark's playing) it could have been a decent song, cause the final version sounds like a demo. Musically, Left Alone is arguably better, but it' still boring. voted for MH anyway for a decent effort by Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah it honestly wouldn't surprise me if Tom never heard MH or FTG until the album was out lol. I like MH quite a bit, Left Alone is just the better overall tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I think the actual guitar parts for MH arent actually that bad, it just isnt great tonally. They're simple but fun and have some varied dynamics in places (specifically the intro) and would have been great if the distortion didnt sound like it was ploughed through a potato.

Shaun Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 is this the first time California's won? i voted for MH. Left Alones alright (don't love it as much as many others seem too), particularly like the "break me down" part of the chorus and the bridge, but MH's chorus tops both of those for me, even if the rest of the songs a bit meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 MH is underrated. Left Alone is try hard trash and low tier California imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisx37 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Both good songs, but I love MH too much to vote otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgod Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Voted MH finally but not a big fan of either song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 MH is so bad I think if it was up against Sober it'd still be an easy choice. It's THAT bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_dept. Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 MH of course, there is nothing good about Left Alone, that chorus is another product of Feldmann's "don't think too much about song structure" approach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNow Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 MH is just the most generic bland song. It's not bad per say, it's just there with nothing really catchy to it and the lyrics don't make any sense lol. I don't like the left alone chorus, but love the bass line and the effect on it. So this is my third California vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeling_This_1 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Left Alone! MH is one of those typical bad Mark songs that tries to be catchy and isnt! Its in the conversation for worst blink song ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The first vote for California from Since88. Left Alone is a solid track. A glimpse of greatness if you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Left Alone is one of the best on Cali for me, even though the lyrics are pretty bland and of course it has the unnecessary/constant back and forth vocals. But yeah, awesome bass on the verses, huge catchy chorus. I think it's a decent attempt at more of an Untitled or Neighborhoods type of vibe, and the chorus one of the only moments on the album where Skiba taps into a Tom-like contrast really well. It was cool to read in one of the interviews that the chorus was also one of the only spots that Skiba really stepped up and took control over a song himself, so I think it bodes well for the future if he is able to put more of his style into the band.

Knapppers Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Left alone by a mile. Its the best song on California and MH is probably the worst song blink has ever made pre california. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Left Alone is good but I can't stand the bridge and outro of it. MH could've been the Neighborhoods equivalent of Here's Your Letter if Tom decided to commit to blink. For that reason alone, I choose Left Alone, the verses are way better and the chorus is what Skiba is known for. MH chorus is pretty great and catchy though.
