Kay Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 What I loved about Untitled is that blink took the same simple building blocks they always had but managed to find range and expand anyway. They wanted to try something different and they pulled it off according to most. its not perfect, theres definite misfire moments, but by and large it’s an enjoyable effort and a definite highlight in their discography. I love darker blink, always have and always will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love darker blink, always have and always will. and that's a totally fair assessment. i can be critical of a piece of art without shitting on anybody else's take. that's the nature of critique. i think my description of the songs is aesthetically accurate. but those same descriptions can lead to a variety of conclusions. i told a friend once that "always" was just sewn together from other blink songs and they said i know and that's what i love about it. for them the song was like a greatest hits showcase of the entire band's style. again, my bias is as a cheshire cat SOMA rat. everyone's mileage is gonna vary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love darker blink, always have and always will. I do appreciate the effort they made to expand and recreate themselves. It’s just not the blink I love personally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a “fuck it sure we’re satanists fuck off” kind of thing. Please other alk fans correct me if I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yeah, it was done as a joke. I do think he finds it interesting, but I believe he's an atheist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm supposed to worship God because he's all powerful, but the devil is powerful enough to rival God...why shouldn't people worship Satan? If the goal is to tap into a higher power, then the devil is apparently a valid option. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
