well while we are waiting... I found my master MD's from the shows i recorded when i was younger and released through blinkRebels of BCR - Gainesville FL the show that when i ripped it had the 2 second pauses between each song, also the 3 blink shows from 2004, Atlanta, Orlando, West Palm.. instead of those old shitty 192 rips, i can rip full wav files unedited if anyone is intrested.

Unreal, I love it. Especially being a fan of AVA, this is pretty much what everyone thought AVA "should be". More rock, more Travis, more awesome.

i really dig Yelawolf's part and i woud love another version without him as well cuz the bridge sounds fantastic.

I have an edited version of pretty little girl without the rap part that i found online and it sounds cool if anyone wants it

Honestly after listening over and over, pretty little girl rap and all is one of the best songs they've done. I swear its so good, if you listen to yela's lyrics it fits perfect with the song. I dunno am I the only one absolutely loving that song with the rap? I think it all flows so well.

Very impressed with this EP I'm loving it. Think people need to realize if they hadn't broken up after untitled this is the direction they were going. I wish sometimes there was no AVA or +44 because then people wouldn't compare it. This is what blink was going to sound like regardless. If anything +44/AVA were sounding like what blink was going to become at first. Not the other way around. Loving this EP and the direction this band is going, very happy fan right here. And the yelawolf rap is fine IMO.

wait a minute guys...........

Really close for me between the first and last song, but I'll go with PLG. I don't know how they made that rap part work, but it did.

This "bla bla sounds like song bla bla" is so annoying. But I guess that's what people talk about when they don't have enough musical knowledge to talk about other aspects of songs. And the "sounds like AVA" or "sounds like +44" is pointless. It was/is them. Mark wrote all the songs for +44 and Tom wrote all the songs for AVA. Why should blink sound totally different? Mark sounds like mark and Tom like Tom. And their sounds won't change entirely when they release their music as blink 182

i completely agree, and i don't blame them for making it a bit safe. they were in a very strange place. i don't think you just come back after all that time and comfortably record an album like that. its all about being in sync with the guys your making music with. and that took them a little bit of time. but i'm real glad that they're in a real good place with each other and we can expect big things in the future, from shows to albums!

After 3 listens to PLG, i actually really enjoy the rap. It just works in a strange way, for me at least. Also i think those lyrics are amongst the my honest he's ever written.

This is really good, exactly how blink would have sounded the year after Untitled. And it doesnt matter that some of Toms melodies are copied from previous AvA-songs because they fit perfect here, and the songs are brilliant. It's those other songs that suck, and the melodies never fitted until now. Boxing Day may sound a tiny bit like All Star but damn, it's so different from what Tom has been doing the last 6 years. And the verses in Pretty Little Girl is so damn beautiful. When i Was Young is so fucking good to, the last to choruses with Mark in the background is sick. Damn. im in love

Yea they still need a producer....and someone needs to fucking take away toms synth.

that's what she said

I love the rap! whats all the hate about.

why cant people understand there is no "ava" or "+44" sound. there is a tom and mark sound. this is the music they want to make. how many people would say this ep sounds too much like AVA if it had come out in 2005 and blink never broke up? nobody would, because you wouldnt have AVA to compare them with. this is blink. thats it

I love blink 182 - regardless of what kind of music they make. Hell, they could go country and I'd STILL be a die-hard fan. They're making the music that THEY want to make - not what the fans want to hear - and that's why I love them so much. Whatever blink 182 chooses to release, I will like it.

Too hard to rate as of now but I gotta go DED. Mark verse plus Tom chorus = sex

I'm gonna wait awhile on this one I need to fully listen to this for a few days.

haha I should edit it from a handful of not so great lyrics with AVA to a handful of really shitty lyrics with AVA

This is what I mean with the constant comparing to Ava and plus 44. It's so old and over done now, it's just en easy way to go about saying you don't like new blink.

What do you fear my love? Hold on you're breaking up. Tom nailed it in disaster I think.

ah yes the lyrics, time for those to start getting compiled no? Or did I already miss that (can't be bothered to look through the whole thread). No matter the song, these guys always seem to have very brilliant lyrics when working with blink anyway, I can think of a handful of not so great lyrics in AVA.

Here we go: second listen on that rap bridge in Pretty Little Girl - already in love with it I knew Yela and blink couldn't fail. It's just VERY strange on the first listen cause it's nothing we've ever heard on a blink song.

I'll agree with ya. People are complaining about some songs having too much of an AVA sound. When in reality the most AVA sounding song blink ever did was Asthenia, and no one complained about that when it was released because A: AVA didn't exist yet, and B: its a fucking fantastic song regardless. The problem isn't that a song has an AVA or +44 vibe, the problem is that these bands exist for us to compare to. When in reality both bands were and always have been the continuation of aspects from different parts of blink. And I fucking love the rap portion, which is crazy, cuz when I was younger I absolutely despised rap and wouldn't give it the time of day.

The chorus on Pretty Girl reminds me of the best times of blink 182. AWESOME. I love it, including Yellawolf part.

the fact that people are complaining about production quality scares me. how much more polished do you want it? sure, some parts sound a bit strange and could have been worked out differently, but that just reminds me of older blink and i'm cool with it.

Yeah I'm sure that's exactly how it went down...

^yeah probably but also of all rappers they had to get 'yealwolf' a white wannabe gangster

id pay blink to release PLG without the rap lmao. I hope they do

i like rap and I dont think it fits in a blink song... not close minded like someone said, it's just a question of taste. If you like it, im jealous of you lol. I dont hate the song obviously, the chorus still makes me cream my pants, but im a bit annoyed a 10/10 song is now 7/10 for me

yeah it is. it works in a weird kind of way. i think it adds to an already good song

It's terrible. The song was perfect up until that point. Musically, the bridge is fantastic, but the rap ruins it.

so what about Green Day huh

wait, so it's out?? fuck

december 18th is december 18th. wouldn't be fare to them if they had to wait 1 more day....kinda also, blink loves australia....so let's just hope for it haha

just shut up fucking idiot

I was trying to download it this morning before work and was getting really annoyed that I couldn’t, then I realised it was the 17th. Fucking Mondays.

Yeah ok thanks, now shut up.

shove? dry your eyes? dafuq?

You're a little bitch.

Nice 3rd post

i think it's kinda cool that so many people from around the world are all impatiently waiting to hear Blinks new EP. and we're only a day away for the official release date and still no leak. i think this almost never happened, cuz leaks usually appear days before the release date. so its cool that altogether we're waiting for Blink to blow our minds with their new music. i hope all this wait is worth it though

everyone tell him he looks nothing like Tom, probably would kill him inside. Just be like I dont know why everyone says you look like tom you look nothing like him

they should clarify what time it releases as its the 18th here in like 13 hours and i want to know if i have to wait till wednesday or not

anyone who thinks this is good is fucking mental. this sounds like a couple of 15 years old kids messing around with GarageBand. if this didnt have AVA's name attached, no one would care. stop kidding yourselves.
