jlx9 798 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 I know we are all talking about Tom’s vocals live but let’s be grateful the guitar does not sound like ass for once. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jan's Plan 5791 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 The funny/sad thing is if blink wasn't releasing terrible kidz bop music right now I don't think anyone would care AS much. It's just so refreshingly good. It just plays right into Tom's hands. This is objectively better than plenty of AvA though. So it might still have made buzz. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSandt 1245 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 The song has nice instrumentation but someone else should sing it. It's not just that the quality of Tom's voice is bad but the pretentious way he delivers it makes it unbearable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not my favorite part, but I’m happy to finally have a vocal intro that’s separate from the rest of the song after years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSandt 1245 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 Tom's "range" these days seems to be limited to low, kinda monotonic bits like the first verses of EISF and Tunnels. Anything else he tries he ends up butchering. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not surprised that the blink haters and tombots are lapping it up. Some of you even claimed to love Rebel Girl, which was far worse than this one. Tombots are quite loyal, it's their only redeemable quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ry-Bread 4571 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 Really love these lyrics: "My hearts a little bit tired, And expired, Just a coward in lift-off It’s got a little bit risky To be happy Toe the edge til we fall off I’m living the worst way ever Gettin’ high while playin’ with fire so- If I’m gonna go try this Satisfy this watch the bomb I made go off" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matticus 184 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 You know what I like...it just sounds like Tom writing a song that HE wants to write/hear. He's not catering to anyone. It's a genuine Tom song. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Champ182 3788 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 This is sad, Ghent is starting to sound like Trump just as much as Oliver does. Everything's a conspiracy, I'm the only one who is being truthful, everyone else is a troll, the thing that people claim to like is actually garbage, always deflect never give an inch blah blah blah. 4 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm offering no conspiracy here. The song just isn't very good. Despite having some energy and some decent guitar at parts, it still manages to be boring as fuck. Gets worse on subsequent listens. Might actually prefer Rebel Girl because at least it is slightly catchy in its shittiness. Plus he had to have a producer help him write it.
