  1. Agreed. Song has been stealing a living in the setlist for far too long. Need some new blood. Wow. OMT as a closer was a spectacle. The montage playing behind. These goofballs are a bright spark in a shitty world. This timeline wasn't supposed to happen, but it somehow has. Love 'em.
  2. Been watching the show. Personally, song I've vibed with the most so far is BTD. Can tell Tom loves the song. Fairplay skeeebosa/ These boys still look themselves for pushing/ over 50
  3. Some of y'all will moan about anything. They've had backing tracks since I got into them in 2013, at least. Tom has always yodelled and had weird pronunciations since then, too. Does it for AVA as well. It is worse when he's drunk. Hence why 2010 was a mess. I guess stage fright probably got the better of him for a bit with a crowd that size.
  4. A broken man, a Frankenstein 

  5. I still adore this song. Is my most played track of 2023. Still nowhere near over my breakup and everytime I feel cut open I come back to: ‘A broken man, a Frankenstein What if my heart won’t recover?’ How can you not love that. Hopefully I can get to sticking my dick in ovaltine soon. Tho that’s just made it worse. Maybe oli was right about me tbf
  6. You been under the same rock as me? Fellow Patrick Star?
  7. Anyone know where @Patient #48273 is? Is she okay?
  8. Mines too small for an artist to recreate. Mind sending me yours for reference ?
  9. Well, I’ve got 182 in Roman numerals on one wrist. I’ve never had writing / lyrics on me - ‘ I’ll clean myself with turpentine’ on the underside of my other wrist. To remind me to laugh at myself when I feel like a POS. This year has been the most difficult of my life, this can sum up moving through it and sticking my dick in ovaltine. I wish I could tell you something more ingenious or exciting. A stick man snorting a bag of Dramamine ?
  10. I tell ya! There is something almost mathematic about that song, like Yesterday by The Beatles. Will always get stuck in the dome. Absolute tune. What others are you most drawn to?
  11. Been listening so much, finding new things each time. Trying to limit how many turpentines in a day. Turpentine related tattoo already booked. Fuck. Blink Wave is fucking unreal. The bass, the new wave mixed with The Cure. This band can do whatever the fuck they want
  12. Yeah man, I feel like I took an L getting one
  13. I got Starfield. Coming from someone that loves Sci-Fi, loves Bethesda/Obsidian - this game is ass. So outdated. Bethesda have fallen off
  14. Maybe we’re the same piece of shit! Same. Always that ‘ A broken man, a Frankenstein’ for me. After this year idk, that really got to me. Hahaha. Least you own it, which is another point of the song. Would like to see you post that after some peach lite beers brother.
  15. Hahaha, the war rages on young man. Where you at now? Course man, back to the factory with your veins full of NICOTINE. I feel you. Christmas is our peak and I’m hoping this is the last sales job I have to work, earn this supposed commission and go out in a blaze of glory. All bullshit tho. This album can be a lil raft through that mundane for us tho. So Dave Matthews is big where you are ?
  16. For sure - and I think it hits in that first instance if so. By the time the first chorus came around I had tears in my eyes. I think if you’ve ever felt like a piece of shit, ever felt broken by something, or have used those failings to laugh at yourself and the world - then it hits.
  17. Idk. Mark and Tom went through the most emotional turmoil in their lives over the last few years, both probably felt broken in different ways. They said themselves the resonant songs only come when they write what’s in their lives/heart at that moment. I think this whole album is that deep, for the most part anyway - I kinda feel like that’s the point, like the title song
  18. It what’s blink has always done - try and conquer their pain through humour. Whether it was Tom’s divorce or anything else that’s gone down in recent years, the pain in this track felt the most relatable/acute.
  19. ANTHEM PART 3 - 8.75/10 - Fucking massive. Bink always destroy openers. The best of all the Anthem trilogy. Mark and Tom harmonies. Mark's explosive bridge takes it to where it needs to go. Only criticism would maybe Tom trying to sound 'too Tom'? Least he's fucking trying tho. DANCE WITH ME - 9/10 - Unreal riff. Unreal concept. Ole's work perfectly. Final crescendo is peak bleak. Can't fault it. FELL IN LOVE - 8/10 - At first I recoiled, then I gave it more of a chance. It's a bop. Lyrics are a bit trashy, but that's 2023 pop. Blink can write a killer pop song that blows all these newer artists out the water, still. Tom's voice really suits this kind of pop 'It's fucking with ma heaud' TERRIFIED - 6.5/10 - Waiting for this to hit me still. Love BCR, love the chords etc - just feel something lacking from the chorus. ONE MORE TIME - 8/10 - Victim of feeling overplayed now. The sentimentality and the brotherhood cement it. It's moving live. I love the chords and piano intrusions on this. Travis singing, will always be a major song in the pantheon now. MORE THAN YOU KNOW - 8/10 - See this as a successor to Heart's All Gone. Motoring fat momentum on it. TURN THIS OFF! - 7/10 - NOFX vibes. I don't consider any blink joke song a real song, maybe bar Ben Wah Balls (10/10). Dece tho. WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - 7/10 - More Tom vulnerability. I rate it, would like more meat on the bones. Need to return to more. EDGING - 7/10 - Still think this was a weird ass choice to announce coming back. Grower for sure. Get the rope. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE GOT - 8.2/10 - Top tier Mark lyrics. Insight into what it's like to be that sick. Bridge is amazing. I'm liking the chorus more and more now. Need to switch up that BTD riff tho. BLINK WAVE - 8/10 - This sounds way more like The Cure to me than Fell in Love. Sick. Again, shows the boys can turn their hands to anything they want. Experiment here, not in any side project. BAD NEWS - 7/10 - Catchy, a million Knucklepucks and shit would dream of writing it. Kind of paint by numbers pop-punk tune. Might grow on me HURT (INTERLUDE) - ?/10 - Not really listened to form an op on this TURPENTINE - 10/10 - Every superlative I can muster. The essential blink song. I was fucking blown away, tears in my eyes. FUCK FACE - 6/10 - Short, sweet, won't be returning much. OTHER SIDE - 6 /10 - Not a big fan of the melody. Love the tribute and will always back Mark writing personal songs. CHILDHOOD - 8/10 - Love them getting weird. Their version of BIOMY. Huge chorus still, relatable, wistful. Strong finisher. OVERALL 8 /10
  20. 26. Been listening to blink since I was 15. Just missed on knowing who they were when DED was released. This was the first album I ever got as Mark, Tom and Travis. I got spoiled.
