The production sounds like it's made for a TV game show, but the song isn't catchy enough for that. The lyrics sound really forced and there is not much in the lyrics I found interesting. The vocal melody in the verses is allright, and the two bridges(or whatever they are) when they are on top of each other it could be cool, but it's sadly a disappointment. Like usual Travis drumming is more annoying than it is cool. Seriously, fuck this drumming! I like Mark's singing more in this song than the other deluxe songs. It's also a way better song than Parking Lot and the Pregnant song. So to sum it up, it's just a really mediocre song with annoying production. I think we should give Blink song slack, it's not like they are murdering people with these songs, but if a new band came up with this song, I bet no one would like it. The only reason people listen to this song is because it's a Blink song. So, fuck this song. YES. Thank you! I've been trying to put my finger on it. I kept thinking like a Disney TV show intro production, but I think game show is spot on. So cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plusavablinker Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 It´s hard to accept that the band that has grown with you for the most part of your life and helped you to get through the hardest times of it is turning to this fucking garbage. At this point I want them to stop writing as blink-182. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I keep singing "Don't tell me that it's over I'm not used to this temptation" in my head when Mark starts the chorus "Don't tell me it's too late..." 42 seconds in. damnit this will bother me forever. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckled at the woah that was very slyly added in towards the end, it's only just noticeable. I felt the same way. Very 'filler' track. Not surprised it didn't make it to the standard version of California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post M!ke Posted May 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 What a surprise, people that don't like California, don't like more of California. I don't know what these people are expecting at this point. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plusavablinker Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 And what the fuck is Travis smoking to say that this is better than the album...I didn´t like california but I enjoy a few songs of it but the deluxe version is pure garbage...

Five songs now share that same rhythm pattern on the guitar intro. I bet they still can have one more in the group of songs we have't heard yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying is that its a part of the deluxe California album, why are people expecting these songs to sound like they should be a completely different album? If that were the case, they'd have undoubtedly released it as a separate album (that undoubtedly would have been more financially beneficial for them too, so theres clearly a reason that this "new album" is all just a greater part of California). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allsystemsgo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The way Mark sings that first verse sounds very unpolished. Matt nails it though the chorus is pretty weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm actually surprised at the collective hate tbh. This song isn't any worse or any better then all of California & deluxe. Goes in the middle for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like normal average fans like the song quite a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's going to say stuff like that, I mean do you really expect him to come out and say, "This is nothing new, don't get too excited." If you recall Travis said that Neighborhoods could totally be the second disc to their Untitled album, as it was just as good and in the same vein as that album. Except we quickly learned that wasn't the case at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
