Elisa Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 The guitar in Spellbound also sounds a lot like The Cure, which is always good to me and there is something in the verses that reminds me of Brand New. The chorus is probably the weakest part of the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what people are hearing, Tom is better off without these fools he needs to play every instrument and write every line. Seriously though, not good, Rebel Girl and K&T still the best songs unfortunately. If those two songs are the best then I'm not sure I should even check this out. Time to pretend AVA never happened and rejoin blink 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to pretend AVA never happened and rejoin blink 🤘 Rebel Girl is the worst of the new songs in my opinion. I very much like Kiss and Tell though. Overall I think I'm gonna like this album a lot. I'm enjoying most of these new songs, except again Rebel Girl. Think this is shaping up to be my favorite AaA album thus far. I would love to keep shitting on Tom until he comes back to blink (which I'm very certain he will at this point), but objectively, I'm finding a lot here that I genuinely enjoy. Looking forward to hearing the remainder of the album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabe corn dog Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 really not a fan of the chorus on the new song but it's the only one so far that i know i'm going to skip. the final two we know nothing about will make or break the album for me.

Kay Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Wow, we're on page 1000 Anyway, here's an interview with Guitar World where Tom proudly says he hasn't a clue what gear he uses anymore because computers do everything. to guitar world. Fucking moron at times. https://www.guitarworld.com/amp/features/angels-and-airwaves-lifeforms 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing him, it’s probably old Les Pauls and weird stuff – well, Les Pauls aren’t weird, but I just mean shit I don’t use. " Please tell me this does not mean he gives the guy the tabs to his song and then they record, not him It sounds like he writes some stuff and gives it to Ilan but it could be that Ilan does an alternative rhythm track, as most rhythm tracks are at the very least doubled if not like, quadrupled in some cases for different tones and such. Still doesn't sound encouraging though, Tom can't be assed to record his own guitar parts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyjones Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 also "New Order didn’t know what they were doing.
