I don't doubt that he can write something like that. I think the question is whether he is comfortable with it or allowed to do it in Blink. I have a similar feel with that song. Matt's verses are great and they feel natural, but it looks like they had to arrange the song thinking in that old fear of 'not sounding too much AK3', the same fear that made them scrap the whole first set of demos they did before California. So to me it ends up sounding a little bit forced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
...Dan... 6711 Report post Posted October 1 Black Rain reminds me of Time to Waste by Alkaline Trio a bit... TTW is a much better song though obviously, I like Black Rain and appreciate what they were trying to do but it's a second or third tier album song for me. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also he sings much lower like he does in AK3 here as well. I'm not saying Black Rain is the spitting image of a song, just that it reminds me a bit of TTW.
