Nosferatu Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 PLG is way different to AVA in my opinion. Yeah it has synths and delayed guitars but it has all the pop punk guitars that blink are known for. That song and WIWY were the most pop punk sounding songs from blink during the Neighborhoods/DED era I think. I love the song but the rap is so out of place. Really wish they would release a non rap version of it like they said they would. The lyrics of it kinda contrast to Tom's lyrics. Tom's lyrics in that are fucking amazing in that song though. Honest too. At least back when it was released anyway, considering it looks like Tom and his wife are now divorced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it might be in my top 3 blink albums, which is crazy to me because it was my least favorite for a few years. I can throu DED in NEighborhoods, and take off those songs I don't like that much, and it fits and makes a good record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 i liked PLG just fine. DED always felt very half-baked to me but PLG seemed more honest/heartfelt. it's got some synth-y stuff going on too, which i'm a sucker for in blink's music. but it's true, the yelawolf thing nearly trashes the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just watched that Fyre Festival doc on Hulu, Blink was mentioned and shown a few times, no interviews or anything. They showed the tweet of them bailing and some people said that was when they knew something was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 jesus fucking Christ I’m beginning to hate this band. They make me sick. 40 year old blokes. Absolute cringe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute cringe. I dunno, at least with that, I get it. The band is huge and namedrop blink in their biggest song, even though I'm not a fan, it's pretty cool for blink to work something out with a group that are clearly fans of theirs (and let's be honest, helped keep blink in the zeitgeist in recent years). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I mean I don't see it any different than the Aoki thing. Forgettable stuff but honestly might prefer it to everything California is. That Chainsmokers song was talking about playing blink songs in the past, not the current blink, so I'm sure it was bittersweet. Matt just strolls along banking off blinks prior success lol.

Neal Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 i'm with Ghent on this one. Relax and don't form your opinion until you've heard the music My expactations are super low based on what we got with California, but they might do something decent this time around. It's not blink anyway. it's just called blink because it sells better. i don't give a fuck if it flops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I would love Kanye West on a blink song but that'll never ever happen. Plus I think he'd work better with blink only if Tom was still in the band, since Tom brings more of that electronic influence that Kanye has in his songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Kanye wouldn't work with them. I mean, really? He's Kanye. Chainsmokers are collab worthy because they're a flash in the pan and won't be around in 10 years. They're the new LMFAO or 3OH3! or whatever those groups were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally hated that party song whatever it was called haha. Most annoying fucking song ever. Regarding Kanye though, I dunno, he has worked with Travis. So there's definitely some kind of mutual respect between them. He's worked with 30 Seconds to Mars before, but I think anyone wouldn't say no to Jared Leto. Despite all that though, I just can't ever see it happening. Mark is way too PC nowadays whereas Kanye is just Kanye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whales Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think Blink could pick cooler bands (so not pop stars) to collab with, but also who cares? I'm as much of a Blink purist as anyone, but single collabs can and should be with anyone because it can be fun and something different. I don't care for them on albums just because albums should be your work and only have features at the most, in my opinion. I don't really like the Aoki collab, but I also don't have to deal with skipping it on an album. It's just a song Blink did with another artist and some people love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
