haven't checked the forum in couple years and just wanted to say that i'm happy to see familiar profile pics and that it is still going

I take my words back, the youtube lyric video sounds much better, than the apple music version, which is very weird

One More Time will be played at every show, it will become a staple of setlists, it has a very strong sing-a-long energy

this is the trend for modern rock, they just do it because it will sell and i get it, just not my taste, i just think that songwriting is much stronger than production

OMT: - Video is cute, makes sense for the fans and the band history - I like the Tom is writing lyrics that actually make sense and are not just abstract - The song is very simple and poppy, but when that chorus hits, it really hits, the chorus is very catchy - There is some timeless blink energy to the piano, as if it's Tom Lord-Alge playing again - The vocals are very overproduced for Tom and especially for the Travis bit MTYN - nice vibe, nice energy, riff is very Tom, nice vocal melodies - doesn't sound too predictable, 12/8 time signature - production is very messy, too much compression, vocals and guitar in pre-chorus sound very bad - the bridge gave me strong Dream Walker vibes and seems like Aaron co-wrote the song - overall it's sad that the song is kinda ruined by production, could've been so much better with more mid-range, it needs to be produced in Neighborhoods style

I visit here almost every day, though almost never post, this is history right now everyone, happy to be here

Spotted blink poster in Berlin today, they seems to finally have normal promotion budget like all the other big bands

So blink is playing 50 min set that with rough estimation gives us 14-15 songs, don't think it makes much sense to play any Cali/Nine songs in a short set, though I'd say that casual fans are more likely to recognise Bored to Death than any Neighborhoods single. What I think they should/would play: Cheshire Cat: - Carousel Dude Ranch: - Dammit Enema: - Dumpweed - Alien Exist - WMAA - Adam's Song - ATST TOYPJ: - First Date - The Rock Show - STFTK Untitled: - Feeling This - I Miss You - Down - Always New: - Edging But they might probably add one Neighborhoods song (Up All Night, Ghost) just to show that they recognise that album as part of the discography Edit: forgot Man Overboard, maybe replace STFTK with it

Berlin is waiting

this sounds like prime Folie a Deux to me, the second song is more a mix of old and new style and it's worse, but still both new songs are the best thing they've done past hiatus

one more pic from reddit

some Zane Lowe vibes here

got berlin front pit for 112 euros in the pre-sale, current price is 250

the melody in pre-chorus is really great, like prime nursery-rhyme enema style

So happy we get to discuss any content from the band regardless of quality lol
