I mean I very much like the song, but you could easily just combine 3 of blinks songs, say Down, Always, Asthenia, or literally like they did with Easy Target/All Of This and throw a transition in there to make a Jesus of Untitled and it'd be the same thing. i'm not too sure about that, the 5 parts to Jesus of Suburbia were written to succeed with each other in mind and GD developed them by rehearsing from 30-second ideas they had or something like that. all the parts sound like they could be individual songs if taken further, but as it stands they need each other to form a whole. if you parsed down elements of Always and Asthenia from their current states, they could be turned into something similar (i wouldn't include Down personally bc i find that song a real drag, haha). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure Mark, Tom, Travis, Tre Cool are all more pretentious than Billie Joel and Mike Dirnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right. Billie Joe is just low key pretentious, but let’s be honest he has earned the right to be. Tom is pretentious but knows enough to understand he isn’t ahead of Billie Joe in the rock world, despite what some of his fans may post on this website.

Tom is just misunderstood. His "pretentiousness" is just him fucking around or whatever his beef is with going back to blink. Anyone who takes his "bigger than Jesus" lines seriously doesn't understand his humor or spirit behind it. Billie Joe is the Bob Dylan songbird of our generation though so chill out.

I mean where is the “opera” part really at? I’m just saying blink could never do a real rock n roll album. They rely too heavily on auto tune and layers of guitars and other instruments they don’t play to fill everything out. Call me old school, but that’s my gripe with them.
