    Also, I don't get how new album is different to Cali except for a bit of more electronics, it's nowhere near being tiny bit experimental. I wonder what Mark considers being experimental.

    Yeah, song is alright. I enjoyed it but this album sounds like a natural progression and similarly to California and Deluxe. 

  2. I wouldn’t be surprised in Mark having self doubt about his song writing abilities is mainly because of the blink community. No matter what he/they do, a lot of people are going to dislike what they come out with. Whether he’s personally proud of this upcoming album, I think it’ll be a make or break album on whether or not he has the will to continue the blink legacy. I believe a lot of people who heavily dislike major, if not all of their music post Tom probably either grew out of blink or Tom was the reason why they loved blink.

    You can never block my shine, I've been lost since 1999

    They’re capable of writing lyrics that are so much better and out of this world. They’ve shown it. I’m not sure why they keep writing about their youth. I’d love to hear lyrics about the difficulties of being in a marriage, a father, friends, family. Today’s pop punk bands have elevated the lyrics game from ADTR to The Wonder Years. Matt writing Is This Thing Cursed and Mark with WYHSB, man can they write some deep lyrics. I’d be fine with the overproduced and poppier sound if they continued to evolve their lyrics.

  4. Both Rebel Girl and Blame It On My Youth are underperforming. They have cringe lyrics from “my little Cinderella” to “I was raised on Ridilin(?)”. There’s good parts in each song but not enough to make me replay the shit out of it. Like @Champ182 said, I’ve kind of grown to realize this is the new blink and I’ll always be excited to hear new releases but they’ve lost touch on what hooked us.

  5. My thoughts...

    pros: I like the guitar sound, very The Cure-esque, just like Simple Creatures. Catchy chorus, Matt just sings well, Travis and the hip hop beats. Definitely different.

    cons: cringe lyrics, a bit overproduced but I think that’s what this album will be going for. One of my main issues from California, while I still enjoyed very much, is that they don’t let the instruments breathe, like they don’t have to sing over everything. Let the instruments carry themselves over to the next chorus/ verse. 

    Overall, I can definitely say it’s a grower and I’ll probably hum it and hear throughout the rest of the day/week, but nothing great. Bored To Death was an instant top 15 for me on the first listen, and this one isn’t. My biggest worry is Mark overthinking what Blink-182 is and losing touch with what made blink special. I expect more from the boys next time around.

  6. Hey guys long time no post,

     

    Anyways, my girlfriend and I went to musink this past weekend. We had a blast. We bought Merch but unfortunately lost it in the pit. I’m trying to rebuy everything we bought. I found everything but I cannot find the women’s blink shirt we bought on the online store or anywhere else. I don’t remember the color except I believe the sleeves had a white stripe and it said “crappy punk rock.” If anyone can locate it, it would be of amazing help!

    KISS weren't that big until they started to put on the make up and made every live show into a huge theatrical. Gotta give them credit for it though, the KISS army is huge. I've been to a few KISS concerts and they have some of the most dedicated fans I've ever seen. But they basically became sell outs, kind of like blink did when they released Enema. I love me some KISS haha they are my guilty pleasure.

    Make up or not, they didn't deserve the recognition they got.
