Resident Zoomer

Sounded like Tom was about to play Radio at 0:44 lol

Speaking of producers…

For how many times Mark does the “Tom quit the band” joke, I was hoping for a bit that night where Mark begs Matt to replace Tom mid show and Skeebs even plays along.

Closer angle

If you showed me this a decade ago, I would’ve lost my shit. I mean, I still did and almost teared up too.

Some context from these links may help but I’m 99% sure Ryan Sinn was the pleaded the fifth guy. https://www.reddit.com/r/AngelsAndAirwaves/s/iJSaQ5LgYT https://www.reddit.com/r/AngelsAndAirwaves/s/gTCaJmPvTp https://www.reddit.com/r/AngelsAndAirwaves/s/GGOwhRgW4B edit: article on him getting booted https://www.punknews.org/amp/23714/ryan-sinn-kicked-out-of-angels-and-airwaves

Was about to post this, I just deleted my previous post. Thanks lol. I had no idea Matt was gonna be on it outside of doing woah’s. Got chills when he came in. He sounds amazing. I dig the song but it needs like a chorus or something (if there wasn’t already one). Didn’t Matt say that the album they were working on after NINE was actually completed before it got shelved due to Mark’s cancer and Tom rejoining? I think they were gonna release a deluxe edition for NINE, but that got scrapped. There was also a collaboration EP they had planned but IDK if anything ever leaked from it. “Same As It Ever Was” may have been one of them, as it was very EDM-y. I figured they would've added the other collabs from 2018-2019 to the EP and included a couple others. I’m guessing “Love’s Not Pretty” and this song would be on the hypothetical 3rd blink-182 album with Matt Skiba. I think everything worked out in the end but fuck I miss Matt sometimes. IDK why Mark has to hold the Skiba era hostage but I’d pay for all of the unreleased material, even if it was released nonchalantly in some gimmicky format on his website.

I would kill for blink to release a full studio version of their WYHSB cover. I wasn't on board at first with the slow moodier version, but it hammers the message home and fuck, WYHSB (the album) was truly Mark's magnum opus. My favorite album from the blink multiverse.

Just gimme both and remove Hurt.

That was such an improvement over the OG chorus, I’m gonna sing it like that for now on. Very relatable too. They should give you a writing credit.

A couple brief thoughts so far: - Everyone Everywhere is the underdog out of all tracks. I was ready to dismiss this song as some copy and paste throwaway track that didn’t work at all. Once that final chorus brought it all together I was absolutely on board. I love how there’s this AVA vibe but it’s still heavy enough. Would’ve been cool to have Mark backing Tom but whatever. Song kicks ass. I even love how weird the verses are. Couldn’t tell if it was some Simple Creatures or modern AVA influence, but it’s cool. The lofi vibe works but I wish Travis and Tom maybe add something more to the verses to shake it up a bit. It’s probably my 2nd favorite so far. - One Night Stand won me over with Mark’s verses. Tom’s delivery on his verses are great but Mark singing in his lower octave was audio sex. One of my favorite moments on OMT. Would’ve preferred if Mark had both verses to himself or if he kept singing in the lower octave when Tom came in. Does anyone else hear that “Paper Thin” melody during the verses? It’s not exact but it’s similar enough to tickle my brain a little. Anyway, it’s probably my favorite song but EE takes the throne depending on my mood. I already have listened to these songs to death. - In If You Never Left, the verses definitely sound like Suburban Kings with a little bit of a melodic change to differentiate it a bit. I wonder if Tom noticed that. It’s kinda fun to see it as if Suburban Kings got worked into blink. Different subject matter completely but whatever. Also it sounds like Skiba in the chorus lmao. - All In My Head is probably my least favorite. Just seems like your average modern era blink song that was actual b-side that got rejected from the original OMT. I do like how raspy Mark gets singing “Is it ALL in my head?” and the rest of the post-chorus.

I’m really enjoying The Sacrifice. Kinda reminds me of the title track so maybe that’s why it didn’t make the cut? Would’ve been a strong contender for the opener. That “two nuns and one cup” line would’ve been gold in a blink song, could’ve played off Mark’s crude humor wiyh a darker twist with jokes like that. Still upset our boy was neutered but it is what it is. I’m glad Alkaline Trio is thriving, because this is probably one of my favorite ALK3 albums. I honestly am digging the lyrics as a whole. I wish the Bridge had Dan and Matt trading off vocals.

Get hyped kids! New MCS song this Thursday. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-Tar2ySY0V/?igsh=MW5lYng0OHA1OWFnMQ==

Full Show on YouTube before it goes down (hopefully not).

New song sounds like the love-child of Pretty Little Girl and that Psycho song Mark featured on. Definitely wished the song exploded at some point but I’m digging it so far.
