  1. Relistening to Neighborhoods with some proper headphones, shit - it gets better as time goes on. It's forward-thinking, it's a great (in places) alternative rock album ( I guess that's where it fits). There are some disjointed duds that kill the pacing and hinder the quality of the album. In spite of that, Ghost, Hearts All Gone, Natives, Kaleidoscope , Wishing Well and Even If She Falls are all fantastic songs. They're mature, have things lingering sadnes/wistfullness that kind of seeps through every bit of the album. It's a perfect album to listen to in a city at night, which I guess fits with the aestehtic and part of their concept of the title. It fucking kills me that Tom didn't listen to the masters of the album and that he fucked up the way they recorded, which he later admitted caused disunity. It also kills me how he can shit out a song like Wishing Well ( he wrote it on the notes of his phone at a kids b day party or something, whilst Interscope were pressing for them to wrap the album up). The whole thing really is reflective of the state of the band and their personal lives/relationships at that point. Miscommunication, frustration, regret, reflection entwined with moments of brilliance and chemistry.

  2. Has anyone here even listened to concert for aliens? Suggesting that this stuff isn’t pop punk is so snobby. It’s pop punk infused with 2020 pop. It’s been years now since any artist has done anything remotely close to this in the mainstream so I definitely appreciate it. I mean really when was the last time you saw a performance at the VMAs even remotely close to that? Ten years ago? More?

  3. The most annoying part is the deluxe edition versus actual album thing.

  4. It's awesome, I actually listen to it quite frequently. I don't like MGK, or didn't really, but some of that song gives me serious blink vibes or just where pop punk should be today vibes. "I'm in a room by the door" part particularly.

  5. it's super age specific. to me pop punk at first thought is the ramones, screeching weasel, green day. and then the 90s epitaph and fat bands.

  6. Yeah, it's what Champ and Kay have been saying. I could tell those 4 songs specifically were Mark playing the guitar and on the rest of the album it's Tom. It'd be hard to tell if they would've used the same recording techniques since they weren't really together when recording the album but even if they used the same guitar tones and stuff, the playing style would still be different. Mark plays the guitar like a bassist would play the guitar. The guitar style is the same exact guitar style as the In Transit song he did. I reckon the bass guitars for BCR would sound mad different even if Mark played the exact same notes and lines as what Tom played for that album. Different people playing guitars but the same lines, notes, riffs etc does make a difference even if using the same exact guitar and tones.

  7. They're definitely different, I could seriously tell right away that it didn't sound like Tom. Not trying to hype myself up because I couldn't tell you specifically WHAT is different haha, but I could absolutely hear that it wasn't Tom's sound.

  8. I'm watching Buffy for the first time ever since I accidentally signed up to amazon prime while I was buying a new kettle and a hoover. I'm in full Autumn mood now, even though it'll be summertime until late October here.

  9. Yeah, and what's really frustrating is that adding Galaxy 2 would be the perfect way to mirror and bookend the OG Super Mario All-Stars. As we'll recall, All-Stars included 4 games, with 2 of them being very similar since their original games were made in the same engine reusing assets (original Super Mario and The Lost Levels), these were also the first 2 Super Mario entries in the collection chronologically. Having Galaxy 2 in 3D All-Stars would give the title 4 games, with 2 of them being verys imilar since their original games were made in the same engine reusing assets, and these would be the final 2 Super Mario entries in the 3D All-Stars collection chronologically. Seriously, the more I think about Galaxy 2 not being included, the more annoyed I get. The only hope I have is that maybe it's a secret unlockable after you beat Galaxy 1 and they're holding that reveal off as a surprise for us when playing the game. Not gonna hold my breath on that, but not impossible, way back when Super Mario Bros. DX was put on the GBC, they advertised it as only SMB1 on the GBC, but if you beat SMB1 you were treated to the surprise that all of the Lost Levels was in that title as well, so it's not something Nintendo hasn't done before, but still I'm not banking on this being the case.

  16. Dave that did the first Blink site with me... his band opened this show and was trying to find this flyer. Do you have it somewhere? It looks like all of the links to this flyer are broken! EDIT: Dave asked me to share these two pictures from their set opening up for Blink. In the first, you can see Mark and O in the background watching the set. In the second, he says: "why not-- that crowd was there for blink not cpm"

  17. Machine Gun Kelly seems to be the only mainstream pop punk act in 2020. Pretty crazy. My Bloody Valentine is so good though
