God forbid his own influences!!! Instead Feldman told Matt to go have a seat in the corner. Feldman could have done the job of a producer, taken what Blink already fucking wrote and made it cohesive, instead he got greedy and wanted to basically control the entire process, no different than Tom really. Your opinions makes no sense. Oliver ass talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction on social media outlets to that song and then the reaction to Misery and 6/8 will hopefully show Mark he needn't have worried about having to add faster, more cheery songs. Can only be good going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason typical pop-punk blink songs can't coexist on an album with "darker" or "experimental" songs like 6/8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy Parking Lot, and would probably have enjoyed it more had we not had a lot of similar songs on the original California release. If they mix it up then I can see some great releases in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the deluxe ends up being a setup for a more cohesive mixture of these sounds for the next proper album (even if they do stick with Feldy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Parking Lot is actually my favorite of the three releases at this point. It's been a grower for sure. Was hesitant about the guitar work at first but I've grown to enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Skiba in the band. Just don't think Alkaline Trio is that great. The goth thing isn't my style and I didn't want it in blink. Unfortunately, Alkaline Trio has been stuck in that scene for awhile now. Probably a big reason why Matt is trying to keep away from that sound while in blink.

NotNow Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I don't like alkaline trio either or their style. I like Matt as a person, but I'm not into his music so I've never really liked him being in the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 5 hours ago, Ghent said: I wanted nothing to do with the Alkaline Trio sound. It was my biggest fear going into this. This was actually my biggest fear as well. However, after having heard the new music, now I'd actually love more of a +44/Alkaline hybrid sound compared to what we got. I'm underwhelmed by the music but I don't hate any of it. I actually like all of it pretty much. I just don't love it like I love most of the rest of blink's discog. (With that said, there are certain post-Tom songs that I believe are some of blink's best work ever). Ultimately I'm happy that blink is still around in some form and that we're still getting new music. It's far better than the alternative. But in my perfect world this is not what the music would sound like. I mean... in my perfect world Tom would still be in the band with tons of enthusiasm and would be huge driving force within the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I still can't help but think that if Mark and Travis had become good pals with John Feldmann just a few short months earlier, he would have been the first person they'd consider to take Tom's place. And the majority of us would probably never have heard of Matt Skiba. Whether or not Feldmann would have accepted to officially replace Tom is up for debate and doesn't really matter. He might not have. Maybe "officially" joining the band full-time would have been too much of a commitment for him, with all the other things he has going on. But, he has it easy with the current blink situation! He still pretty much is in the band (he pretty much is the band) but it's not official so he doesn't have to commit to touring or anything else that blink does outside of the studio. He can still produce other albums and do Goldfinger and eat 100 donuts a day and all that other stuff. *typed as I'm eating my second donut in a row* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like saying, Love Freddie Mercury but hate his Queen influence, Love John Lennon, but hate his Beatles influence. AK3 pretty much defines Skiba in terms of music, he isn't Dave Grohl, so it is very odd to me that you are happy with Skiba, but not his music.
