Nosferatu Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 This song is just another Parking Lot/Rabbit Hole for me. Chuckled at the woah that was very slyly added in towards the end, it's only just noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well, that's a shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Wow. So now they're mixing "lets sound like waterdowned blink" with "lets sound like every other modern pop punk band". Only take away from this on one listen is - A. someone needs to teach Matt to write an original riff. B. The lyrical hypocrisy is hysterical. C. Euuurgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Really, the very first 5 seconds sounded like blink IMO. Then after them 5 seconds, just started to sound like every other generic pop punk band from 2005 and after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 At least it's better than Parking Lot.... There are certain parts of this I quite like but it's let down by some really bad lyrics once again. It's the story of this era of blink, songs only seem to have good parts/highlights that are let down by other mediocre parts/aspects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's the same generic Feldman bullcrap. If you can see passed that, its alright. I'd put the deluxe songs like this so far 6/8 Misery Wildfire Parking Lot I'll say it again, for the love of god can they write just one fucking song without failedman? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 WTF. I can't believe it, it's terrible. Waaay worse than Rabbit Hole and Parking Lot. I won't ever listen to this song again. California Deluxe is super watered down to me, the actual album feels more "finished" and consistent compared to these crappy songs.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I don't mind it the way some of you guys do lyrics aren't great but i honestly give no fucks about lyrics, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Is this the song Mark & Matt wrote together? Well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just listen to the " let you strike a match and start a W-i-l-d-----fire" a few times. It starts to get annoying pretty quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 My initial response is that it's quite underwhelming. I like Parking Lot way more than that. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Hoppus Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 usually, my opinion about California - California deluxe songs differ with a lot of opinions here, but now - yes. it's bad. I like one moment in the end, but that's all, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
