bennett Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 that part isnt even played on the guitar, its a synth. and he even uses actual chords on ded. but regardless i dont think i'd need to pull every time blink used a similar chord progression, obviously . it hasn't changed from 99, to 2000, to 2001, to 2003. why should it change now?

Donald Trump's Bulge Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 okay, maybe my ears have just changed or something, because I hear it all now. Oh well. The DED thing doesn't bother me. Its a good song, but I do notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asthenia15 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 tom has just lost his creativeness on guitar. that's all there is to it. maybe they need to write in different tunings other than standard. like on self titled. it could pull out a few more good riffs from the back of his head. and throw his synth and delay pedals in the fucking garbage. it always sounds the same. let mark work the electronics next time. atleast the plus 44 electronic sounds were fresher than the ava shit. and FTG is my favorite song with electronics on in on neighborhoods, which was a mark song. don't get me wrong the ep is great. but in 6 months it will feel just like neighborhoods.

Dancing_with_myself Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 The start of Boxing Day has lost it's smash mouth similarities on me now, which is a good thing. Now probably when I hear smash mouth I will think 'that sounds like blink!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matticus Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 The first time I heard the riff in DED, I immediately though of Stockholm Syndrome. It's not exactly the same obviously, but they are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, it kind of did for me too.....and it makes the song seem a bit better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nick Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I did notice the same similarity that Oliver did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Ah...Lex' Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 DED and Stockholm are very similar. But I think it sounds way more like Lycanthrope. Boxing Day has also lost it's Smash Mouth similarities but the first time I heard it I was like, dudes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...Dan... Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 He is making the point that everyone arselicked Neighborhoods when it came out and now a lot of people are saying that it didn't live up to expectations.Could just be the buzz of it being new and in reflection it may not be as good to people a few months down the line.

supervic Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Life sure must be great for you guys when everytime you are enjoying something you ask yourself "Am I actually enjoying this though? Maybe I'm not?" Stop trying to look for some hidden, true objectivity towards whether you like music. As far as I'm concerned, that's as subjective and personally owned by you as it can get. It is just your choice to like it or not, there are no more facts to be uncovered. And later if you don't like it as much, then you just don't like it as much. Then you just look to the sky and move on, as brettyboy has taught us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Disaster is a combination of a ton of previous AVA song's Tom has wrote mixed together. It uses the same riff as about three of their songs (Heaven I believe is the most noticeable) and the same introduction effects as Dry Your Eyes. Not that I'm knocking it, I absolutely love Disaster because of this similarity, but Oliver has it right when he says Tom reuses a lot of his old stuff. In any case, I have no problem with Tom basically taking his ideas from AVA and bringing them to blink to better them. If they end up like Disaster or DED (Hallucinations in the verses), I could overlook the similarities/exact copies. It just makes what I thought AVA could be if Mark and Travis influenced the music, and clearly, it produces just absolutely fucking fantastic songs. It would be insane to see how they would have influenced some of the ideas Tom has had over the years, but who knows, so far it hasn't stopped him from bringing them back to the table for blink.

bennett Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 i mean, tom has been doing this since 1999, its really nothing new or surprising. if people are hating on him for this then you need to go back and really hate on enema of the state as well. you can't pick and choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
