I don't care about that, I didn't expect a 14-20 track album tbh nor did I really want it. Quality over quantity for me at this stage in their careers. If they're anything like RG or K&T I'm going to fondle myself. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True to all of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nosferatu 1878 Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Rebel Girl has grown on me loads in the past couple of weeks. it's so catchy. When it was first released, I thought it was just an average and boring song. Kiss + Tell was always just decent to me, but it hasn't grown on me the way Rebel Girl has. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's literally the heart of blink resurfacing after the brief moments on Neighborhoods/DED. This rarely happens. I will say I felt that with Mark on First Time, Cynical verse, and randomly Wildfire pre-chorus. Otherwise, all their hearts are out of it imo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right? Sure it'd be nice to have MORE new songs but I want a decent record I can throw on at my 2nd job and zone in on... with Rebel Girl and Kiss and Tell on the record, I don't see how that can ruin the quality of the collection of songs overall, but only enhance it, even if they did come out a year or 2 ago... Would we rather get 10 songs that are worse than those two songs? Hell no... Dream Walker is still the only AVA release I still listen to with occasional anticipation/joy... the rest of the albums are more or less played when I really need something kinda long to kill time at work when I'm not paying much attention to the music... I need a quality album, not more fluff with the occasional good song in between. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petros 498 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Just revisited the two songs. Rebel Girl is obviously the better song imo. Kiss and Tell is too bland. Not bad just generic. Rebel girl lyrics are pretty bad though. Enjoyable to listen to though. Still neither come even remotely close to what blink did with nine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Rebel Girl sounds like classic tom-songwriting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I literally disagree with everything in that post. Nine was dogshit, Rebel Girl is incredibly meh, Kiss and Tell is the best thing out of the blink related camp in the last, like, 9 years.

Nosferatu 1878 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I'm one of the few who really likes Nine. No Heart to Speak Of and First Time are superb songs. Those two are better than the AVA songs by far I think. Rebel Girl has grown on me loads but Kiss + Tell drags on for me. It actually has a guitar riff though, which blink needs way more of with Skiba. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, to me rebel girl sound very love-ish only with a little more synths, it makes sense you don’t like it that much as you don’t like the love sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The intro part that repeats after the chorus as well is waaaaay too long, would have made a better impact with 4 bars instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheerios4u98 11489 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Me neither. Anyone have a Short Bus signed by David Kennedy? Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wannabe corn dog 3234 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 i'm shocked by how honest he was when talking about ava. it certainly does not sound like an enjoyable experience to be "a part" of this band at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
