  1. well, at least they now do what jon feldmann thinks they have to do or sound like....
  2. Just started listening through the blink discography at work today. I gotta say, Neighborhoods is pretty fucking great. Never liked it as much as now. Currently at Untitled... damn, the memories!
  3. Kinda crazy that blink is nominated for a grammy. The fact that they are nominated with California for the first time in their career, just shows how unrepresentative those awards really are. Still cool though
  4. well said! Thats exactly how i feel about blink vs green day i don't think blink will ever make it into hall of fame or to the grammys. GD, even though i don't like them, make more sense in those enviroments. i also couldn't care less about it...
  5. i have no problems with pop acts/entertainers having other people writing them songs. It makes sense as they are great performers/entertainers. But a band like blink is mediocre live at best(travis excluded). Them not even writing their songs out of own inspiration and having other people writing and inspiring them for a big part, while also very much half assing their live shows makes the existence of this band pointless in this form... blink never was the greatest live act but their shows sure where a lot of fun,even post reunion... Now the banter is gone, the song ideas partially come from someone else... Take away the lightproduction and backingtracks and blink would be unbearable live.... groups like 5sos or justin bieber dont need to write their own songs, they are interesting enough just performing them and stuff...
  6. blink was always the greatest sound, productionwise, to me. It was always the reference for me. but california just adapted to whats easy on the radio audience ears. even half-assed recorded neighborhoods got some sound where i thought: Damn that's cool, how did they get that sound? I was always inspired by that and their sounds (guitar/bass/synth) always influenced my own approaches. however with california, the instruments sound like garbage, but i guess thats what happens when you use your generic formula guitar sound plug in which gives you the ability to make every album commercially successfully. how anyone can be fine with the guitarsounds on cali, but bash tom's recent live sound is beyond me....
  7. When i first heared I'm sorry, i was very interested in the verse and thought "fuck yes, this is going to be great!" - and then i got to the chorus Great sounding verses, very interesting. but the chorus makes the song unlistenable for me.... And no, nothing of this has to do anything with feldmann, i didn't even know that....
  8. i think it's more that they wanted to make a press statement that excites fans that like enema the most and those who prefer untitled....
  9. it's a bojack horseman reference.. Calm down my friend
  10. you dont know what i look like
  11. Maybe if i was a hot russian you would've put in the effort to understand what i meant?
  12. Thank you , that's what I meant. Allthough working 18hour days on something that should be a creative and heartfelt and inspired process, isn't really something to strive for... Or you can go to disneyland, think about a song idea and try to squeeze that shit in a day so you can brag about how you just wrote 30 songs in 2 months... not surprised about ghent being a bitch about every criticism about feldman though.... he's flawless
  13. lillian from +44 is probavly one of my favourite 6/8 rock songs as for the deluxe version, i'm not really hoping for much anyway but i'll surely give it a shot. Kinda bummed they're with feldmann again, can't stand that guy and his studio work ethics...
  14. Thought I'm pretty sure you already heard of them, The Front Bottoms are an amazing and super interesting band through their entire catalogue Pretty sure you're also familiar with Everything Everything. All top notch musicians with a great singer with super intelligent lyrics. Theyr latest record Get to Heaven is probably one of my favourites of this decade...even though i didn't like it much at first. If you like hip hop, I really enjoyed the last De La soul record, " The anonymous nobody" And if you are really desperate you can give my band Polyphone's new record "Silhouettes a spin" i'd appreciate it The Band "I heart sharks" has one great Record called "Summer" If it doesn't have to be english, The Austrian band Bilderbuch has released an amazing record called "Schick Schock" in 2015 which is sonically very interesting and you might like it even without understanding the lyrics...

    i guess i would be more excited about it if they were truely trying to grow and to challenge themselves musically, but it's more evident then ever that they just want to keep their job going.... I hope they find a new spark of creativity for their next studio effort
  16. i get that, but i'd rather have them end up among the community.. Plus i can't imagine someone would be willing to pay money for an old pair of shoes?
  17. i was at my parents house this weekend and found a pair of signed all stars worn and signed by mark which i got from the neighborhoods preorder thingy. i really have no use for them so before they land in the trash: does anybody want them? Helen perhaps could return them to her husband?
  18. yeah he anounced a wdntw acoustic record, and there is also a members only package that should still be coming. But I don't get my hopes up for anyting, it really seems like he has completely lost the plot with all his releases and deadlines. Does he still have a manager?
  19. That özil performance yesterday was incredible! Glad to see he's in great shape!
  20. Is there anything officially anounced about the California Deluxe version / EP ?
  21. You don't have to spend shit for being allowed to be critical. Also do you think the band wants to meet you because you spent hundreds of dollars on them?
  22. We should change the title of this topic to: "The General Meltdown Watch.....
  23. haha the Lyrics on the Thumbnail are hilarious...
