Is it OK to say yet that New World shits all over everything on California? Song kinda rips tbh. 

I may really dislike California, but New World is fucking awful, as is basically all of the demos odds and ends record.

Toms work on odds and ends is better than most of California , Tom as a lyricist and guitar player is leagues above that of Matt skiba in blink, Matt skiba in alkaline trio. On the other hand is like night and day , wish it had transcribed over into the new blink

I personally think Golden Showers fits in perfectly with the theme blink used on their last album. It's not a good theme. Or a good album. At all. That's why it fits so perfectly together. It truly would've been blink's worst record, though probably more manageable than the Cali we ended up getting.

That said, I do like Animals. Probably about as much as I like Left Alone or Hey I'm Sorry. So there's that.

All of the songs besides the three singles are messes, but even those have a few interesting ideas that could've been worked into something cool. They're demos.

Of the three singles, Circle-Jerk Pit and Invisible Parade also have a feeling of incompleteness, but they are still more interesting and melodically/rhythmically sound than nearly all of California.

New World is just a great song, I mean I don't really see what's not to like about it if you're a Blink fan aside from some personal thing against Tom.

First of all it's more raw/organic sounding than anything Blink has done since 2003. Like it's more punk than Neighborhoods. It's fast, it's jumpy, the drums are fucking sick (love the snare changes during the last chorus to make the guitars/vocals really slam), but most of all the whole song just sits in that range of melody that people associate with Tom DeLonge's best moments. Like the build to the chorus is just a great punk melody. I don't know what else people would want/expect from Tom. Sure the lyrics aren't great, but like, that doesn't really ruin it for me at all.

Sup blink section. Anything interesting happening with the band in the past few months since I last checked?

I'm guessing no.

Um. No. But Tom made the rounds on the internet when that ufo coverage/secret government program got declassified a couple weeks back.

I will never understand how people dont like New World.  It sounds very in line with what modern blink would sound like.  Could easily be one of the best songs on neighbourhoods.  Just imagine if mark and travis got to help.  New World,  An Endless Summer and Suburban Kings are all great.  New World shits all over California.

The only song I can stomach from Odds and Ends is The Invisible Parade and it's still pretty damn weak. I liked Animals but I just straight up know it's awful and don't actually know why I like it. the rest is pure crap.

I feel the same way about Animals. I don't know why but I like it. I know I shouldn't but I do.
