i used to think he was the man, but then novelty kinda wore off when i realized with the exception of the first 2 albums, there are only 2 or 3 good songs per album. first to foo albums are solid tho.

wow we really need Tom do something weird to bring this discussion back on topic

eh, havent been that great since fred left. brand new on the other hand was great right until the end

its clear matt was hired not as a songwriter, just to play guitar and sing. and mark can't write for shit. so feldy had a field day with all the control he wanted.

over produced means that they took all of the feeling out of it like it was spat out of a computer. generic.

over-produced bullshit. awful.

of course california sounds different they lost their lead songwriter and hired a new guitarist

the fact is, love him or hate him, blink was always more tom than mark. he picked up the slack. when he became uninterested thats when it fell apart. maybe mark could "write" a song, but even +44 didnt amount to anything until they brought the other two dudes in. theres an excerpt from mark i posted a few pages back. i'm paraphrasing but it's along the lines of "i had a few scraps. tom had a lot of ideas. he always has ideas"

it would never have happened if mark was involved. tom wanted mark out of the way. it's clear his issue was not with him personally, just musically. can't say i blame tom per se,

actually i correct myself, its not an interview its was something that came with the toypaj vinyl release

blink started having problems when making toypaj. theres an interview from mark saying that he just wanted to remake enema again, and tom wanted to go darker and heavier. tom said box car was just so he could see what he could do on his own, but i think we all know it was so he could do it without mark getting in the way. plus i think tom definitely found his stride with songwriting and became a machine. he just wrote cool stuff, and a lot of it. mark was definitely jealous of that. earlier in blink mark was the face, but tom took control. we all know untitled is all tom.

you all give tom a hard time, mark is a total embarrassment. why does he think that tintin hair looks good? and wtf with his pants

OMG jenkins is such a dick. hardly ever mentions anyone else and its all me me me i i i i. once i learned how big if a dick he was it was hard for me to listen to them, but there are some great great songs on the first two albums.

weezer has been total garbage since pinkerton. i subscribe to to matt sharp theory. the africa cover is pretty good tho.

skiba took blink off his instagram bio. guess this might actually happen.
