  1. At least like half the show was recorded incorrectly. Lots of dropouts. However, the second half or so was done right and sounds great which is actually perfect (relatively), I believe all the new songs and Bored To Death were recorded without issue. Wendy Clear unfortunately I believe was too early and had some issues if it were recorded.
  2. Seems the recording issue has been fixed by now. Which is great because we're getting a high quality Tom recording of Bored to Death right now and they all sound fantastic on it.
  3. Yeah, seems like even if you get a working stream, that it's going in and out like crazy, think it's fundamentally being recorded wrong, and it suuuuuuucks. Fortunately I believe their next show is live streamed as well.
  4. I'm been using https://tv-libre.com/en-vivo/flow-music/ with Argentina as my country in a free VPN chrome extension and its doing the trick. Can't wait 15 more minutes lol, gonna be great to get some high quality live recordings of the new songs!

  6. Here's the full Chile concert: Argentina had a ton of errors at first, but gets better a bit into the set.
  7. This is something else I wanted to address. I'm not sure that there is a better One-Two opening punch for a blink album than the first 2 songs on One More Time. I mean Feeling This and Obvious is up there, but Anthem pt 3 and Dance With Me? Are you kidding me?! Lol
  8. Just wanted to say that this song is still the shit. Probably my favorite on the album, and easily ranks among my favorite blink songs ever. Tom coming back would be worth it for this one song alone. K, I'm gonna go listen to if yet again.
  9. 68 is way too young in this day and age. RIP to the man, I wouldn't be who I am without Dragon Ball or Chrono Trigger.
  10. Overall I really like that guy's blink mashups, he has a lot of them. But this one is weak. He's trying to force the theme into a remix that really doesn't quite work right together. Though I really do appreciate his effort all the same.
  11. Cool news all around: So the song One More Time lasted 20 weeks at number 1 on the Alternative Airplay charts. Which ties Portugal the Man for most weeks in a row at that spot on this charts. Sum 41's Landmines now takes over (what year is this? Lol) and honestly, love that song, surprised it's taken over now after being out for so many weeks, but I'm not complaining, it's a solid song to step up. Also curious about all of this is how Green Day is in the mix with their latest album but haven't managed to take a number 1 spot yet, and Sum 41's full new album isn't even out yet. Feels pretty representative of where these bands stand today, where once Green Day were considered by many to be the top pop punk band, I think most today would say that both blink and Sum 41 are more enjoyable than what Green Day is doing anymore. Frankly I wish Sum 41 were sticking around after the new album and it were Green Day that were calling it quits instead.
  12. Yeah it's alright, listened to it two times through fully, but I'm already bored with most of it. I do enjoy Dillema, 1981, and Bobby Sox. But those are the only ones I really go back to at this point.
  13. Yeah the album loses major points on originality. The shameless recycling of the tune to Pink's So What in One Eyed Bastard is totally inexcusable. I don't even care for Pink, but I was well aware of that tune because it was a pretty big hit at the time. Does Green Day credit her or do they just shamelessly steal that tune? Because its pretty egregious.
  14. Ya know what? It's honestly not half-bad. But here's what I'm going to say upfront after one listen: I think I'm going to like this album in the same way that I like Underclass Hero by Sum 41. I think this release is overall a pretty fun listen from start to finish, however it feels like a lot of retreading of earlier ideas the band has explored with even some blatant imitations of other great rock songs from completely different artists. It will be an album that I apologetically enjoy, one that I know shouldn't be respected, but is still so fun from start to finish that I just don't care. I can see myself on long road trips putting this thing on and being pleased. I did see that review that said it's their best album since American Idiot, and ya know what, I think that's true. It isn't saying a whole lot, but this is easily going to be the Green Day album I'll play again before Father of All, Revolution Radio, the Trilogy, or 21 Century Breakdown. I'd give it a 6/10.
  15. I'm gonna try and go into this one with an open mind. I liked at least one of the 4 songs they released ahead of time. Not a great average, but I didn't straight up dislike any of the songs, which is saying more than I can say for a lot of their songs since American Idiot. Found a slow rapidgator link, so it will probably be like 20 minutes before I can give this thing a go. I feel I've been extra harsh on these guys in recent years, but they do kinda deserve it, they were once my second favorite band, but they fizzled out so quickly. I was stunned today when I realized that there is double the amount of time between now and American Idiot than there was between Dookie and American Idiot. In that one decade they were releasing great album after great album, bookended by their 2 biggest successes. In the 2 decades since, the best thing they did wasn't even technically Green Day (the Foxboro Hot Tubs album), and the best Green Day thing they did was just a shameless, bloated, lesser-version of American Idiot with 21st Century Breakdown, and both of those were the 2 next things to follow American Idiot, everything has only gotten worse since, though I would say the trilogy is probably the absolute low point for the band throughout its entire run. Anyway, did you see that this coming Summer tour, they're going to be playing Dookie in its entirely as well as American Idiot in its entirety, due to them having their 30th and 20th anniversaries respectively this year.? Now, I know they say they're going to play other Green Day songs as well, and I'm sure a handful will get played at each show, but they also have 3 openers; how much of their show do you really think they're going to dedicate to this new album when you consider all of that? I digress, I'm getting all worked up by reading the writing on the wall here, when I said from the start I want to try and go into this with an open mind, so I'll let it go, at least until I finally hear this thing.
