RELEASE SOMETHING Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 3 hours ago, yodda said: That opener is disappointing - I keep forgetting it's there Automatic was a surprising little tune - it's neat Cure worship - could have fit on Neighborhoods (it would suit Mark's voice). 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of but not quite ... plus, Automatic starts off the same as I'll Stop the World. It doesn't start the same as Friday, I'm In Love.

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. Did Ghent just accidentally post on his sock account ?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt. Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You replied to me when I was asking why Ghent didn’t mention automatic in his review when it sounds a lot like this is home which is one of his favorite blink songs.

RELEASE SOMETHING Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I love when JarJar replies for Ghent, or vise versa. Happens about 5x a day. Bots gon' be bots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shit Poster Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I only listened to a few of the tracks beforehand and am checking out the album now. Time Bomb has a fucking awful chorus, “Hey there little sad for, I really want to hold ya”, really Tom? I’m starting to notice his lyrics are pretty patronizing to women, no? Seems to have begun with Pretty Little Girl onwards. I’m not even trying to go PC, just something that has stood out over recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
