bojangles Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 You know i loved Neighborhoods when it was first released due to the anticipation and long wait and just hearing new blink music but over time that album started to fade out of my playlist and i started noticing some songs felt a little forced and others lacking something. The only song i ever really listen to on that album is Wishing Well and Kaleidoscope but even the songs they wrote together on that album felt awkward. Now when i listen to a couple months ago i felt like i had to force myself to like some songs with this Ep i don't feel have to force myself to like any of the songs. I don't really like Disaster that much but its still a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oil_and_Garlic Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 the more i listen to this EP the more i tend to dislike Neighborhoods a lot more. Indeed... Honestly is far away better than Neighborhoods even though I thought that the rap part of PLG was awful... They have so much potential now... I'm anxious for a full album now.

BlinkAngels182 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Could be just me but I still love the hell outta Neighborhoods. In comparison to this new EP obviously the EP is better. But there is not a song on Neighborhoods that I have to skip. It's has many solid songs on it that I really enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishguts182 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I still do love neighborhoods but for a different reason. I feel like this new EP I love on a level of untitled in the sense that its the 3 of them working together in a room. Neighborhoods is still a great album that has some def stand out tracks. This EP though is def what would of been after untitled, it's a perfect mix of everything the 3 of them have done on the side as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The band seems more stoked on this EP then they ever did Neighborhoods, just based on all their tweets and stuff about it being No 1 and everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 i actually don't mind the second half of the rapping in PLG. it doesnt sound too bad with the synth and overall buildup. but that first half is almost painfully slow and awkward/out of place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The band seems more stoked on this EP then they ever did Neighborhoods, just based on all their tweets and stuff about it being No 1 and everything else. because they achieved their goal: it really turned out to be 5 great songs, and the fan reactions are largely positive. on the one hand, unlike before, this time the hardcore blink fans successfully degraded their meaningless statements like "fuck it, it sounds like ava."* so finally the average fans can form their own opinions, they are allowed to like this record. you know, if the majority of us called it shitty, the public opinion would be far less positive... and on the other had, the pr was well done: they had to emphasize that they recorded it together, they are friends, they know the last album wasn't the best because they weren't a real band that time - but now everything's alright, etc... without it you would probably hate the exact same songs. (*if you think about it, it's the stupidest argument... "this new blink-182 song reminds me of angels and airwaves. i guess i have to hate it. i don't care if it's the greatest element of ava and it works fine in the blink song, but it recalls a bad memory that tom left blink for another band. i feel his heart is still at that other band, so i complain about it." i guess if you let the bad feelings go, you realize your complains are simplified to this: "tom's improved musically. he uses his skills in blink-182." do you still think it's a complain? just forget the years with ava if you don't like that... a blink album in 2005 would have sounded just like this ep.) yep, further reasons of the positive reactions: the lyrics are mature and varied. tom's singing changed a lot in the years, but his voice on ded is the best since self titled. same thing with the instrumentation... it seems like it wasn't useless to tell their technicians and everyone what we think about how things would be better. they have heard and took the fans' advices, and we get something what we wanted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermidnight Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Did anyone notice the lack of cursing? There is none, unless you count the "fucked" in Yelawolf's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Eight Two Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The intro to When I Was Young gives me a boner. Is that a piano with delay or something? Whatever it is, it's awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojangles Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 So answer yes we have two swear words on the EP. "damn" and "fuck" does it matter? No it doesn't shit they might as well write a song called "Fuck Time" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The Dogs Eating Dogs track has grown on me a lot. Went snowboarding with it on today and hit some jumps with it on and it fit the mood really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The Dogs Eating Dogs track has grown on me a lot. Went snowboarding with it on today and hit some jumps with it on and it fit the mood really well. Just did the same, the EXACT same. I put it on a pretty big playlist and when Disaster switched on (I was about to hit a jump) I got insanely stoked. Made the jump too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Pretty little girl is probably the most sincere and honest song Tom has written since There Is. Also, I disagree with this. I think the most sincere song Tom has ever written would be Rite of Spring. It was right in the middle of AVA and had almost no similarity to any of AVA's sound, which only adds to the fact that I believe he wrote that song for himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
