Jan Backing Track Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 The lyrics are actually pretty good. Song grows, def better on spotify, not the greatest song ever. Bridge is pretty good. Agreed last chorus is best. Paper Thin is so good though, shocked at Tom's batting average right now.

radioactive tomdog Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 i think its still better than the majority of older non-single ava songs and feldmann era blink songs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Bagel Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I wonder what I'm missing. To me... it's as forgettable as Quarantine. I instantly wanted to listen to Rebel Girl again (tho that's faded after two years). Kiss and Tell banged immediately and still bops. ATLIL and this can get in the proverbial bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 pretty nondescript. still on the whole more interesting than anything blink has done lately but it’s definitely a weird choice for a single. weird to hear how much tom’s voice has changed over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 This one is easily better than ATLIL and Rebel Girl for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Just sort of sits in the middle. At the end of the day, it's more interesting than anything they peddle on California Deluxe because it's Tom's weird poetry writing and not Feldmann, but it's just okay sonically.

_Kyle_ Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 i got curious. i'm watching the video now. the song is a complete meh-train. Tom's thin vocals are atrocious (what's new?) and he can't carry a song like this with whatever vigor he's trying to harness. it ultimately dead in the water there. seeing as there is little to no actual melody and just coasts on production that aim to stimulate but rather assaults the ears, it doesn't actually ruin it as there's nothing really wasted. the actual video does replicate that energy with lots of lighting and quick cuts that half haphazardly tells a story of some model who kills her man and rides off with a dude on a motorcycle. so I guess it's under the skin but set in L.A.? also tom please take off that stupid hat. still better than current blink songs and somehow less embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodda Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 First thought was why Tom would sing it this high - it's going to be funny live Secondly, it was fun - while it's not the kind of thing I would choose to listen to I'll always keep coming back to blink-related stuff for interest sake and I like that Ilan has helped Angels progress and explore different ideas and chord progressions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Finally listened. Not bad! Might be a grower. I didn’t love Kiss & Tell at first but it’s a top-tier AVA song for me now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 The empire club is livid, they paid $90 for the membership, had to add 200 more dollars to get into the venue early for merch and to watch the soundcheck, but they can't meet the band and many of them weren't even able to get the tickets on the pre-sale because there weren't many tickets available for the club. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will fail. Tom never sticks with the same idea for that long. Gets bored and moves on to the next project..... this time he's scamming people out of money and hoping it funds his next project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iguessthisisgrowingup Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Wait tom directed the music video, pretty cool. I was kinda expecting his movie to be a mess, but might actually have promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
