Speedo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Thats not a diss by the @Kay, I am too ... it comes from being a musician and analyzing our own shit. I just think that it sometimes gets in the way of enjoying things for what they are. Quote
Speedo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Just now, Ghent said: No More Guns and Euphoria (especially Euphoria) are good. Fire in a Nameless Town is kind of interesting. Losing My Mind has good lyrics. I'm surprised you like No More Guns, it's not a song I had you pegged for at all. Quote

JarJarBlinks Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Automatic to me is the one that is a This Is Home rip-off. Quote
NotNow Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 If this is home is your favorite blink song, do you not like automatic? Quote

It also steals from the Cure too much but it's one of the songs that's decent. I like Rebel Girl, NMG is the best Tom's voice has sounded in awhile but the rest of it is just cringe sounding synths and more bad lyrics. I love WDNTW and I-Empire is pretty damn good. I even like some songs off of Love 1&2 for what they are, but IMO everything since Rubin has been awful and just Tom phoning his lyrics and vocals in even over instrumentation that he'd never write on his own. 1 Quote
Ghent Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Was just going to say it sounds like the Cure and instrumentally it's good. But it's not catchy and his voice sounds absolutely terrible on it. He sounds like he is "special ed," (no offense to the special ed posters here, I'm trying to keep it PC). 1 Quote
Coddled Jan Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 What is so good about Automatic exactly? It's just like a random Cure AvA song with no punch. The post chorus is cool I guess? It's one of those boring Ava songs to me. 1 Quote

Speedo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 It's not The Cure, it's god damn Modern English. This place is a circus. 1 Quote

Everything else is fairly inoffensive with Euphoria and Kiss & Tell being the standouts. It sounds like Tom is having fun here. I wonder if I like modern Angels more than modern blink because Tom having fun sounds more authentic? The "fun" of Nine and California sounds calculated and insincere. Great analysis. Exactly how I see it too. Imagining Automatic with Mark's voice really does work though. Quote

Speedo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 It's sort of like Blink's California ... sure, it's supposed to be a nod to old Blink but it sounds like a rip off of All Time Low. 1 Quote
Speedo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Don't crab that, Jan. You know you agree. Quote
