Sounds like if it was made using AI. I bet Feldy would have PAID to fill for Tom.

It’s a post indirectly related to Blink (at least to Mark and Travis). I’m sure this song reflects how Blink would have sounded if Tom hadn’t come back. I mean, just swap John’s voice with Matt’s, and there you go – you have a new Blink song. It sounds so much like California... All I can say is: THANK GOD Tom came back.

To be honest JarJar, between me and you, what bugged me the most was that Feldmann saved all his best writing for The Knife. Which I actually liked that album. While didn’t really pull much out of his bag for Blink (which he really shouldn’t need to..?), but in theory I would prefer ‘another pop-punk artist’ helping curate songs with blink than pop diva writer teams or w.e started happening on Nine. Feldmann, unfortunately, I feel by his nature makes everything more about himself, than the band. At least for blink, it felt so off base, instead of feeling in blink essence. At least everything after Bored To Death. Bored to death had that essence, and maybe a few songs. In retrospect, Nine, and some of OMT made me like California more. But..I’ll always be bitter about how canned in and generic it felt, when you had Skiba + Mark teamed together, and Feldmann there to help reach a finish line. It should have been deeper writing, it wasn’t. And in all honesty, I blame Mark more than Feldmann for letting that happen and go in the direction it did. Mark could have very easily just vetoed Feldmann’s decision to scrap everything they had written prior to the Feldmann sessions. I’m not saying Hey I’m Sorry was a great song, but the essence was there. also fuck Feldmann for the Whoa, Nana fest he tried popularizing so desperately. Shit got me heated more than 15 yr olds beating up on me in video games and talking trash in the mic when I’m just trying to decompress from work on a Tuesday.
