Ghent Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 He said he sank into depression because he missed making music and touring. There's no indication it had anything to do with Matt or California lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Sank into depression because of Feldmann's role in production....Goes back into studio with Feldmann. Makes perfect sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 considering they went with other options this time around, seems like they weren’t totally sold on feldy. what i’m saying is i could see mark retroactively being disappointed with feldmann’s role and the production on california, and finding fans concerns more valid than he initially thought.

Ghent Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 They did an entire deluxe album with him in his house after California...and then got back into the studio with him and he's producing half the songs on their upcoming record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyCuomo Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think Mark might have felt somewhat compromised having Feldman play such a big role, and that bummed him out and that caused him to search for another creative outlet. But ultimately Mark likes counting money (and I’m not blaming him) so they went back to the writers for hire for the new album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just to play devil's advocate here: Why shouldn't the goal be to make as much money as possible? Every normal person strives to make as much money as they can in their own careers, why would it not be okay for an artist to do the same? Why wouldn't Blink do whatever they can to make as much money as possible and why is that a bad thing? A lofty notion of art or something? Some weird ideal you have in their head of who they are as people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyCuomo Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think we’re allowed to have an impressions of how things went. Unlike a certain cretin here, I don’t pretend I know everything. Just a hunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like California, just find it very inconsistent. It has 10 songs that I enjoy, the rest are just songs I feel are average or just really bad. I feel the same about AVA really. There's about 10-15 good songs out of their first 4 albums altogether for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
