It’s great! Every track sounds just like Blame It On My Youth! My favourite is probably ‘hungover you’ it’s all about mark in high school sneaking down to Walmart to buy alcohol underage. No guitars. No drums. Full pop production. 10/10

Oh yeah they really perfected the California Lyrical Model in that track:

"I wanna be in the teenage social scene!
Remember when we were listening to Queen!
Down at Walmart with the rest of the gang!
Drinking teenage beer and talkin bout wangs!
ooOWHOOAAooooo"

I laughed so hard I woke my girlfriend, she's pissed but it was so worth it.

I'd say its more playing off the whole area 51 raid thing

At the end of the day, the band's only connection to aliens is Tom. I get that it's because they're playing Enema, and Aliens Exist is on there, but that's all Tom. It's just weird to gravitate to the aliens theme when no one in the band has any connection or interest in it except for the guy that they couldn't get along with and left on bad terms with. 

It'd be like if Travis quit and they suddenly had all these Cadillac cars or if Mark quit and they kept the octopus logo on tour.

It makes a lot of sense to play off the aliens thing when they're celebrating an album with a song famously about aliens and a huge alien-related meme/event is going on at the same time.

You mean the 150 out of 2 million people that showed up to "storm" area 51?

Anyone else find it strange that they’re playing off the alien obsession of Tom (people in alien costumes on stage)? Like the band had a bad split with Tom and now they’re using his interests for their performances. 

It annoys me too, I complained about it a few weeks ago with all the UFO themed posters/merch they’ve been having. It’s likely out of their control but still just lazy IMO.
 

Tom is milking blink as well though, so hard to be too upset.
