Universal Music Group?

"Tom knows this feeling well. He has no friends. Girls hate him, and with good reason." That line cracked me up.

He didn't have a painted one for the first couple nights. So no. He probably got one painted when it became a thing.

Maybe he just really loves Reckless

On untitled they had different sounds but it still all sounded like an album. Neighborhoods kind of felt disjointed because of that. If they can do it like untitled again than I'd be happy.

That's part of it for sure. But also Tom has a unique style of playing guitar, so the same part played by Tom will sound slightly different than played by Mark. I know it's picky but I think little stuff like that could really help overall.

Agreed, Tom should play all the guitars, Mark plays all the bass, that's how it should be. Also that helps the uniformity of the sound. You do realize Mark has written a lot of guitar parts for Blink over the years right? Lol of course I know that, when did I ever say that he didn't? I just said that Tom should play the parts, not that Tom should write them all.

Really? That's awesome, I can't wait for a video of this.

I always thought that "wishing well" was a reference to carousel, but that could be reading too deep.

Really like this, not sure why I never checked these guys out before but now I'm glad I did.

I think that was Jerry Finn wasnt it? Yup, it was Jerry Finn. As a kid some chick named Holly invited him over but then came out from behind a bush and sprayed him with water.

HAG was Mark's view of the break up, sort of a tom fucked up song, and then Wishing Well seems to be Tom' view where he admits he was a bit of an asshole but now they're back and he's going to enjoy it. That's why I especially like the order on the album.

Mark's guitar tones were equally bad imo. I think for the next album they should write more together, get a producer (at least to make sure the songs are uniform on the album), just make it more cohesive overall, and work on the lyrics a bit more (some Neighbourhoods songs lacked lyrically imo, whereas songs like Wishing Well show how good they can still be, just more of that). Musically I'm fine with whatever direction, more acoustic, more synth, more piano, more guitars, whatever it is I think it will still be good.

Dude, they're rehearsing the day of, they don't have time to re-arrange all of their old songs. Honestly I've been really pleased with how these have turned out so far. Wasting Time acoustic really blew my mind.
