boxelder Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 i'd have to agree about distraction. that song feels forced, aimless and half-baked. i'll admit that i've never liked good day as much either, though. the war, do it for me now and start the machine in particular are my favorites from that record. "in other news, there's a new AVA member: We welcome Ed Breckinridge to the gang- Formerly of the post-hardcore band #Thrice, he is a perfect fit for this group of punk rock Gymnasts. A daily surfer, and skateboarder .... And shredder from Orange County, we look forward to his moves on stage.#NowWeHave2Ponytails" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think for the most part its actually a great song, but dear lord, those chorus lyrics of I think I like today, I think its good. really really ruin the song. I mean I think the verses are great, and I like the rest of the chorus that follows, but he just has these so awkward and cringe lyrics that they just ruin the song. I can not for the life of me understand why Tom didn't work on the lyrics another hour and find something that actually sounded even just decent there. Worst song on that album though? I think I'd say The War or Distraction. 2 of the most boring tracks they've ever created, I can not understand the love I see here and there for The War, it sucks so bad. Yeah, The War is an awful song. And sucks he got a new bassist, but not surprising. Here's to another 2 year run of AVA with blink on the back burner...at least!

'Ah...Lex' Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 i think what we should all be noticing is the way that we are all individual sentient beings with different feelings and different tastes, which in turn affects the fact that we have differing opinions on AVA and blink and all the rest of it, that won't change, because we feel strongly about it. when this became an excuse to spent 5 pages ranting on ava in a blink thread, i dunno.

MSandt Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 The irony is that if the Bee Gees entered the music world today, they'd look like AvA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 The Bee gee's are pretty good, at least the earlier stuff, the disco stuff is kinda annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Might as well change this thread to the AVA general discussion for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 How did this thread turn into the AVA general discussion? Might as well change this thread to the AVA general discussion for awhile. Ditto. OMG I'm quoting myself now. I feel pathetic. That's what happens when there is no new blink to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 if the bee gees emerged today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 who cares if some AVA discussion is going on in here...it's only natural. it beats set list, male pattern baldness, tom's alcoholism, greed, and other constantly regurgitated topics for awhile. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I agree, discussions about AVA, BCR, and +44 are inevitable when talking about blink, especially when not much else is going on, they're all related and intertwined like it or not. With that in mind, just wanna say how much I love Chapter 13, that song is the shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 jesus...tom is seriously releasing a movie based on a CG cartoon character of himself. this one might very well be worse than the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Chips Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 jesus...tom is seriously releasing a movie based on a CG cartoon character of himself. this one might very well be worse than the first.Yeah the image of his character self is creepy and looks almost alien (or demonic).

Ghent Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I would go with "stupid" over creepy or demonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
