I think Euphoria should have been the opener, has a slight build then a punch and it’s a great song. Timebomb can burn in hell though. Euphoria would have been a good opener too! I actually like the intro to Timebomb and think that specific section of the song is a cool way to start the album, but the moment that intro ends the song just falls flat for me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musical stamina is the worst as well, like Distraction, I love the verses of that song and the lyrics but Jesus, the song never ends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ye. Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 overall: album sequence isn't great, so I made one of my own and removed No More Guns because it's just boring. probably the first and only AVA song I'll ever completely forget exists one of AVA's strengths has always been cohesive albums, and this isn't that. it's kind of all over the place and that's furthered by the release schedule. Automatic is close to being something great, but doesn't really do enough. it feels like a demo. Timebomb is classic AVA in essence (thus why so many people here don't like it) but opening chorus lyrics drag it down and then the song doesn't go anywhere. Tom's laziness on full display. the original teaser we got on Peter Mckinnon's documentary trailer sounded way better. the whole thing is like 2-3 songs away from being a solid, cohesive work. right now i just feel like it's an EP that I like a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euphoria, Spellbound, Automatic, Kiss and Tell and A Fire in a Nameless Town would of made a great EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Ava cd that is allowed to stay in the Manta GTE. ( @_Bagel because cars are fun). Cant wait to dance like a unguard to losing my mind life. David Kennedy the type of guy to rather play empire over this. We would be shAgGing this album if those two singles weren’t released so early. HEY , I don’t mind you naming it - just don’t tell me how many horse Austin powers it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or Tom’s guitar is so low you can’t hear it. At one point he pick slides and you don’t hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Tom actually sounded kinda okay last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Probably one of his better tv performances in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 haaaaa Literally a whole minute of backing music and lights flailing about while Tom pretends to play along and the others just awkwardly stand about... as soon as the vocals come in he sounds like a dying cat. Ah, I love how Tom can continue to 'entertain' me, even if it's in the completely wrong way. Also, I've repeatedly said it, but this song blows so fucking hard haha 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Tom is legit starting to sound like Tim Armstrong, without the style of music or swagger that allows for it to be cool. Tim Delonge? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I never want to hear a Tom-bot complain about blink's tiny amount of backing tracks again. Rubin and Rubano are the only musicians here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seriously looks/sounds like the entire performance EXCEPT for Tom's vocals are prerecorded. Yeesh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
