There is way too much going on in almost every song and no room to breath. the mixes are light years better than Neighborhoods. I'm sure I would enjoy that album if it was actually mixed better than demo quality, hell Cheshire Cat sounds better than Neighborhoods... but it was only recorded for some quick cash not to be anything special, they got what they paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their new stuff, outside of a few isolated tracks, is not innovative for the band. If you took San Diego, Bored to Death, Last Train Home, and kept going in that same vein, it would be a pretty decent and logical step forward for the band. But with every subsequent release, it becomes more and more clear that the band peaked (both in quality and innovation) with Self-Titled. It's not even a Tom Delonge argument anymore, as I think Mark's lyrics went downhill after then too (outside of +44 of course). Cumulation of events i guess, Jerry Finn dying, Tom becoming more delusional with a worse outlook on what made good music, and Mark's writer's block. Skiba wasn't a bad choice, but he's definitely no saviour for the band either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think Skiba is more concerned about keeping the torch going and being "solid" rather than innovative or carrying the load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too and that is TOTALLY fair in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
