The kid who was supposed to be a fan was a face painter of some kind... I can't tell if he was a Kiss fan or a juggalo. Maybe both. I’m like 7-8 episodes in and I’ll keep an eye out for this, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 The less said about California, the better. That album is an embarrassing pile of turd outside of like 2-3 tracks. Nine has about 3-4 dodgy songs but the rest of the album stomps California out of the water. It actually sounds like a blink album. Surprised Nine hasn't gotten more love from these boards. I'm a big fan of it. It's as good as Neighborhoods IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, there's probably 3 main reasons behind it that made it arguably worse than Cali for me. 1. Cali ruined me, I was so fed up with their bullshit at that point it would take a +44 level album to fix my outlook on them (which they are plenty capable of to further add annoyance) 2. The dodgy songs ARE SO DODGY. They're not just bad, they're incredibly bad, that they hinder your perspective a bit altogether. I'm looking at you Blame It On My Youth, Black Rain, Happy Days.. While I love stuff like First Time, Run Away, Ransom, it was hard when it sandwiched between that. 3. The singles they lead with, co-writing teams, and Darkside video. They just completely lost me with the Blame It On My Youth lead single and then the announcement that they are using outside songwriting teams to distribute songs, cherry on top with the Darkside video dancing around a playground with a bunch of kids was so bad it's hard to fathom. It's like what's worse, all that or Feldmann's grasp on California, at the end of the day, we all want blink writing blink stuff that we like them for (from heyday Enema stuff, to post-prime Neighborhoods stuff) I honestly can't say it's better than Cali. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true about the dodgy songs although for me Black Rain wasn't one of them haha. Happy Days is bloody terrible. I think California is full of songs like that. Neighborhoods has some dodgy songs but none of them are terrible, so that's why I'll always prefer Neighborhoods over California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don't hate Happy Days, it's just that it followed BIOMY and followed by IRWIHY I believe. It was not a great trifecta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Considering it was bigged up to be this serious expression from Mark about depression, and the chorus is just repeating the fucking phrase "I wanna have happy days" is just... Asinine. All the lyrics are cripplingly cliche and simple, the music is dull, the melody is annoying and doesn't suit marks voice well. It's an absolute fail. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
