Had the same opinion on Paralyzed, although I love the riff on that song. This song would be soooo much better if it had the LOVE sound.. LOVE pt1&2 is some of Tom's best work imho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOVE pt1&2 is some of Tom's best work imho I love the ideas of the album, just I'm not a fan of the finished product. Songs like One Last Thing could've been way way better without all the electronic stuff I think. Dry Your Eyes has a great build up but then the riff after that build up is just very generic AVA for me. I like the Revelator but I feel like something is missing in that song. Saturday Love & Some Origins of Fire are the ones I like though. All That We Are has a great outro but I dunno what the hell the song was doing before it builds up into the outro. I just feel like the songs are either generic AVA, lead to nowhere or just full of too much space stuff or are too long. All the songs have something I like about them though. I'm more into the TDW sound as it's more of a raw rock sounding album to me. Prefer WDNTW and I-Empire too, although some of those songs are way too long and repetitive for my liking. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's the whole beauty of it, it's simple and not as try hard as many AvA songs tend to be. It's simply Tom and effective. 4 hours ago, ...Dan... said: I think your mind is playing tricks on you, making you like it more because of how bad Skiba is in Blink. I mean I would not write this out, it's possible, Skiba makes my shits sound good, but I listen to a lot of AvA right now to compare and it holds up with all of them it's definitely tighter than a lot and not so indulgent. Plus his voice sounds great imo. It's not vintage Tom but it's more reminiscent than some of his Ava blunders Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jordidanen95 585 Report post Posted May 30 Was listening to Rebel Girl some more and the bridge really stands out tho. Those vocal harmonies right before the last chorus is pretty nice, gives the song a fresh touch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattSkeebios4u98 9399 Report post Posted June 18 I've caught myself listening to Rebel Girl on purpose lately. I'll admit, I like it now. But wow, I don't think I've ever disliked an AVA song more the first time I heard it. Glad it grew on me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YANGGANG_2020 5373 Report post Posted June 19 I used to dislike Surrender and Adventure, really enjoy them now. Especially the remixed versions. Once you accept Tom's weird transition, there's a lot of good content there. A little too lovey dovey still at times for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The remix for Surrender is way more enjoyable than the original and I don't even hate the video although it is bloody weird and silly - 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jordidanen95 585 Report post Posted July 1 But i'm still very stoked. It seems like ava is back into a polished sound, but at the same time still raw elements from previous work. Rebel Girl was a nice single Im just hoping for really good deep cuts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_dept. 322 Report post Posted July 12 Guys, do you know what happened to The AVA Movement? I think it used to be pretty active 3 or 4 years ago, but now the most active ava discussions are either here or on reddit. I remember that guy plopbellie from 182online forum, I think he is the admin or was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
