Ghent Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Pretty decent for a terrible AVA song..I like that it's upbeat and bright, like he was trying to write a Cali style song. Feldy could have done wonders with parts of it. Might listen to it one more time some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarJarBlinks Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I feel like Tom wrote 15% of this song and Rubin did the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Listened several more times and just had much higher hopes from Tom on his first song in forever. Figured he'd come out with a punch, not a synth dud. As cringe as the "Cinderella" line is, it's the only catchy part of the song I can remember after 5+ listens. For some reason it also reminds me of an alternate chorus from TDW Demos, the Bullets in the Wind one that was like: "The beef stew and turn up the stereo, shock the radio, listen to the radio" or however it went. Dunno why, the chorus just felt similar even though it's probably not. I guess the good news is this certainly doesn't sound "Strange Times" themed, so it should be a full AVA album, not a film focused EP.

_Kyle_ Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 man this song would be so much better if it was called Blink 182. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others can create entire encyclopedias of the Cali recording process, I can assume that a song lacking signature Delonge sounds was written by someone other than Delonge.

He’s just bitter because most people here dislike California and he’s been defending it since day one. Now we like something, and he needs to let out some steam. Bitch away, Ghent. Bitch away. We still wont like California. Maybe the next album though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy. And all for mediocre songs like this one. I follow him because this is a blink message board and this is his meltdown thread, traditionally used to make fun of him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prankerd14 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Its not a great song...i have been waiting hoping it would be great but na, forgettable....he always has at least 2 gems on the album tho i hope!

JarJarBlinks Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Really cheapens this entire thing as well to know the ONLY reason Tom is putting out music is because he is struggling financially, and knows he has a faithful fan base to suck money from to fund his fake company. If he actually tours with AVA again, you will know that he is REALLY stretched thin. Quits one of the most popular bands in the world, then announces a new band: "i JuSt WaNtEd MoRe FaMiLy TiMe" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
