Clearly you don't believe in production matters. It does. It doesn't make or break a song, but it's always mattered. You're just jumping around topics here. The production in this song is generic plasticky ass. It only makes the song worse. The song is generic slop. Therefore the song is diarrhea. Much like majority of California - Nine songs. OMT had plenty of ass production, but better songs. A good song can outweigh it. And the songs are better on OMT. Facts

No...because the product isn't the same. The meal item is. If pop punk is a hamburger, there are still different levels of hamburger meals. Blink-lite, aka California-Nine era is just another basic hamburger, you can get at any chain grocery store. OMT is delicious. Not as delicious as the prime blink burgers we used to have back in the day, because they've lost or discontinued some of their ingredients, but still way more delicious than a grocery store chain bland burger.

This is just how modern credits are done. Business stuff. Taxes. Stuff like that.

Exactly. Couldn’t have said it better. Even a simple actual riff, written by Tom, lifts a generic song so much. Having Tom’s vocals contrasting Mark’s lifts a generic song so much. Otherwise it is just blink-lite. I don’t love the generic formula stuff either on OMT, or pre written songs like Take Me In make me want to pluck my ears off but when you mix in all the more authentic/creative songs like you mentioned, it’s not even the same stratosphere. Cali-what?

They’re similar tacos or cheeseburgers but you’re taking away the quality of meat, seasonings, and the bun altogether in some cases. It’s not the same.

You can’t hear the differences is the main problem. I actually understand where you are coming from but not hearing the differences between this, Cali-Nine and OMT (sans a few songs) is borderline intentional?

Liking this formula that takes all emotion out of the music is more culty than not liking it lol. Carlos is also spot on about swapping Matt in there and here’s yet again a Cali era song. It’s not a big deal anymore but you are still slinging ppl who didn’t like it is crazy

False. We definitely cared, and no it wasn’t as generic as Cali - pt 2 - Nine. But then again, I’m a bot that was designed for.. preferring the primary trio?

We’ll all be fighting to the graves on this.

I do not miss this cheesy production or cheap songs.

Beach boys/Brian Wilson tribute right now on CBS is pretty legit. I don’t really remember it, but Beach Boys was my first concert experience ever, I remember eating a giant turkey leg and then bouncing back and forth between BB and Verve Pipe..it was a cool concept. I was never a huge beach boys guy but the whole aura behind Brian Wilson and how he was able to tap into that music no one else could really create is nothing short of amazing

I feel like Knapton doesn’t like the new Turnstile album.

"Oh wow hip hop rock it's so cool" is exactly what I said after watching/listening to their first big album. I never disliked or liked them, liked a few songs, hate the overhype.

Patient I just want you to like me. Coddle me.
