He’s filling in for Tom by doing his own thing. Props to him and blink. They’ve handled this really well. Crab me. A humble nod to Tom and a huge dig at Matt and feldy. Ouch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have listened to it twice now and have no intention of listening to it ever again. The only part that is good is the catchy “no mean no don’t you kiss and tell” the rest is meh, the bridge with the weird computer noises sounds like shit and the last note of the song is so bad and out of place the way they did it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 All our differences aside, you have to agree that the production sounds much better than anything blink did since 2015... The drums, the guitar , the vocals.... If aaron really had as mich of a say in these songs as the blinkbots claim he did, blink should give him a call. Sounds more blink than anything released in the skiba era, productionwise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 cool AVA acoustic set that was just streamed apparently: Three song set. Do It For Me Now, Rebel Girl, and Anomaly. And a lot of talking! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 In that live stream above Tom says that a year ago he thought he'd never play live again. Whoa. Was he still planning on returning to blink eventually? Would he have just been a studio artist and let Matt play all the shows? Interesting to hear that that's where his head was at a year ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that Tom really thought he was done, cited artistic differences with blink, and then had to be pushed by his team to do this tour and now says he’s 1000% back with music... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prankerd14 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 People slagged off mark and matt on the spotify sessions but wow toms voice has really gone! Its like he doesnt wana strain it anymore or scared to. Those 3 are great tho and i love toms banter, you can tell mark misses having a laugh with tom, makes ya sad thats my only gripe with skiba is the non banter. i really hope toms puts out a great album, because if its shit i doubt he will tour and make music much again for another few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 One difference between Mark and Tom is that Tom can still be hilarious without Mark. Mark can't banter without playing off Tom's banter. Tom cracked me up both times I saw AVA in '06 and '08. He doesn't need someone else to play his jokes off of. Mark does. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve see blink with Tom and blink with Matt, and with Matt it’s just missing the magic to it all, they come across as a band that’s just there to rifle through to set list and get the fuck out of there, whereas with Tom there was banter and off script moments. With Matt everything seems very scripted live and by the book which when compared to a Tom show, is very wack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
