Definitely would NOT want it to fail and fall apart despite my bitching. Rather, the opposite, I love good music. I need good music. Blink can provide it, if they want to go ANY direction but fucking #sadboys #mgk #TBarkerinthehouse #OhHiJohn. Yup. I don't even dislike the 'any other pop punk' and I decently like MGK/Hoopla/JXDMX guy, but it aint blink. It ain't even the same genre to me. Blows my mind potentially all 3 of them now are okay transitioning blink into this and not their own authentic standards.3 points

Continually blows my mind how much people here are willing to drop their standards for this band just because they're happy to have them around. I don't know how you could listen to that JXDN/MGK crap and then listen to something like this and feel them equal The reason California was such a letdown was because it felt like any other pop punk band could've made it. Blink used to set the standard, now theyre just doing what everyone else is already doing/done3 points

Yeah, that picture is months old. It was taken in December https://www.instagram.com/p/Cltn-6kpTMN/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=3 points

I don't know if I ever shared this but I was able to get different tracks from three bands on the soundtrack, gameplay and promo videos of three iOS mobile games back in 2018. I wouldn't have expected this but now the gameplay video has more than 1M views and people in the comments discovered that track via the song placement all because of me, crazy indeed!3 points

I wish we had your Sunlight Coight. It's been a cold, cold Spring here. That being said, I understand some of chatter is overly negative, forsure, that gets annoying. Doomsday stuff is always annoying. But plenty is also just realistic/maturing at this point you're misconstruing for negativity. Blink has done little musically for many of us in over a decade. More signs are pointing south than north. Live & you learn. Happy to be surprised. Not going down the high expectations-get disappointed and frustrated route. Ain't worth the real estate in my mind. My guess is it'll be somewhere in the middle, like the recent Red Hot reunion.2 points

I didn’t mean you actually, stop trying to fuck me. There’s a difference between the cautious people and the doomsdayers. Though tbf you do overdramatise things occasionally. I get being cautious but we’re in a new era of the band and don’t know what’s going to happen. At the moment we’ve seen nothing but positive signs. Travis injury and the subsequent cancellation of shows while shitty was unfortunate but unforeseeable and not an indication of the state of the band. Everything with the band actually seems super positive and promising for the first time in fuck knows how long. Nothings been delayed. I guess I just don’t get all the negativity from some people?2 points

I also don't mind soem of the MGK/JDXN stuff. Have a few songs on my Spotify and I'll listen if it comes on. But it's not on their level2 points
-
It’s not that I want them to fail. It’s more that getting any hopes up means setting yourself up for pain. It’s easier for my beaten little heart if I just assume it’ll be fucking shite. Just how I live.2 points

I think it's mostly joking but also acknowledging this band are the kings of not caring about deadlines and taking forever to do anything.2 points

If you read the comments, looks like he's using the same guitar presets he uses for MGK. This album really gonna sound like generic pop punk isn't it.2 points

Nothing would be cooler than blink being back with Tom and releasing good music without all the side drama, delays, and terrible Tom projects that he prioritizes1 point
-
if you think about blink W/Tom in terms of betting, there is no way I'd put money on things turning out successfully until there is actually a new track record established. There's a difference between wanting things to fail and just thinking about the odds and past behaviors.1 point
-
Assuming you're referring to me without sacking up and saying it ya cunt, but I'm pumped for the album and can't wait to hear it. I want and expect it to be great. I also am experienced enough to know that this band, especially when Tom is involved, misses deadlines. Plus the context clues like canceling tour dates when they should have already released it1 point
-
I think there’s a few people who, whether subconsciously or not, actually want it all to fail and fall apart. Call it PTSD from years of trauma surrounding the band but they want to be able to say “I told you so” if the thing never comes out or gets delayed and the tour is cancelled. Honestly the more time goes on and the less we hear about the album the more convinced I am that we’re just going to get a suprise drop of the whole thing.1 point
-
I was duped. Need to make sure I keep a folder nearby of all blink photos with dates so it doesn’t happen again1 point
-
Tour starts in 4 weeks. I'm not being negative, just realistic. And I don't know what photo you guys are talking about, didn't see that.1 point
-
what level of desperation is this? the album is 99% done, maybe they're still fixing some things here and there and I don't know why they haven't announced it yet, but I don't understand why everyone is so negative about it.1 point
-
In my experience, yes! I remember them confirming the leak on California as well1 point
-
I don’t understand how you can think that edging is blink’s “timeless” sound. I just don’t hear it at all1 point
-
That picture was posted 2 days ago but I’m pretty sure that’s an “old” photo that has surfaced somewhere before, right? The things I notice are Marks hair appears to be shorter than it is in those promo pics when Edging was released. And Travis doesn’t have a cast/sling/ or whatever you wanna call it on his injured hand. OR on the other hand, you could say Mark got a haircut and Travis’ injury was a hoax. lol The only thing I feel more confident in, is that no matter what stage the album is in, I think they want it to be a surprise drop. Hence “edging” and the album will “cum outta nowhere” lol idk but I’m about checked out until May 4.1 point

It’s weird because I heard from some decent itk people that the album was done / nearly done weeks ago but these latest updates suggest otherwise. These are either bonus tracks, finishing touches because they got more time from the SA cancellation or something quite dramatically changed.1 point

The longer we wait for the album the more I believe that the first leg of the tour was cancelled because they needed more time to finish it.1 point
-
I used that same amp profile from Kevin’s Kemper pack on this track and it’s fat af. It all depends on the guitar chain and how it sits in the mix.1 point
-
Lol, look at Tom sitting there thinking why the fuck... But, I think that kthrash guy actually knows what he is doing and won't just kill the staple blink sound with some mgk nonsense. This is his chance to make it right, at least career wise. Tom is not Mark, who probably agreed with everything Feldy brought up, he will speak out, so we safe here. But knowing how the last ava record had pretty drowned guitars, we are fucked still. Just finish the damn record already.1 point

Is Travis seriously making the guitar sound decisions over Tom? I know it's just a picture but..1 point

Plugins don’t give you one single tone/sound. You use the plugins to shape the sound into anything you want, I doubt it’ll be the same.1 point

All I know is if I had no history with Blink, had no idea who was in AVA or Cali/Nine Blink, I probably never would've listened to any of them more than once.1 point

more random shirt news: a blink t shirt dress — the kind very popular right now, the oversized look — is now being sold at urban outfitters. cool design, actually. hard to find, already out of stock some places. i’ve been enjoying the new blink merch at some of these big places (that aren’t hot topic etc)1 point

California was popular and successful. Just because YOU didn't like it the two times you listened to it doesn't mean it was a universal let down.0 points
