Cheerios4u98 11330 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I honestly can't remember what a lot of the Deluxe Edition songs even sound like. I'll have to give it another listen soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boxelder 4699 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 i pretty much just ignore it. i have a fondness for some of the songs on it, namely cynical (good tune) and SOOHM (so catchy and by-the-numbers blink i can't deny it). but for the most part, it feels distinctly different and regrettable, almost like a different band 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel Girls United 7123 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 It is a different band. I still let Sober and Last Train Home play out when it comes on a playlist, admittingly at the gym or something... But I look at it as a couple bonus songs by Mark...just like that Dogs Go To Heaven song. Just fun bonus tracks with no emotional attachment to it. The rest kind of dried out, even Cynical & Hey I'm Sorry, my two personal favorites when it came out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NotNow 2771 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Misery is arguably the best song they've released since the reunion. Definitely top 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel Girls United 7123 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Really? There's a halo in the distance? Misery loves company? Generic. Barf. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rebel Girls United 7123 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I was considering the melody of those parts too. Misery is the most overrated song on here. Don't know how anyone can listen to it and hear Blink 182. The first 20 seconds or so are great.. Then it's just more vomit-inducing feldmann generic chorus. I do like the bridge though.

Kay 11667 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I gotta agree with Jan, Brendan. Misery is just awful. I still listen to 6/8 and Last Train Home on a rare occasion. I don't even listen to the ones I liked from original California, few that they were. I can't even spin San Diego now, and that was my favourite of the bunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nosferatu 1860 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I listen to some California songs now and then. Bored to Death is still a great song for me. Los Angeles is still great for me too, never understood the hate of this song but I've loved it since day one. I liked Bottom of the Ocean since day one too but that has grown into one of my favourite blink songs since the reunion. Long Lost Feeling I still listen to regularly. 6/8 is still a great listen. All in all, these are the songs I'll listen to quite a bit Bored to Death Los Angeles 6/8 Bottom of the Ocean Long Lost Feeling Then these are the ones I'll still listen to, just nowhere near as much (still think these are great songs though) Last Train Home Misery Home Is Such a Lonely Place San Diego One song I just thought was boring when I first listened to it, but now has grown on me, The Only Thing That Matters. As for the two others that I like Left Alone & Hey I'm Sorry, I just hate the choruses and the woahs of these songs. The verses are fucking great for both IMO. Good Old Days is ok, it's not as catchy as it should be IMO. It's trying to be a pop song the way ATSM, The Rock Show do and hell even First Date but it's nowhere near as memorable as those tracks. The other songs are trash IMO. That includes Cynical, never understood the hype of that song on these boards either. The only other song that could've been great is KOTW but the lyrics let that down way too much for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
...Dan... 7341 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I haven't listened to a single blink-182 song from California or Deluxe since about 6 weeks after the Deluxe release. I was actually quite impressed with some of the Deluxe version when it first came out but it had no replay value for me as time went on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it's top 3 for me, but I do love Misery for sure. Misery, 6/8, Hey I'm Sorry, and BTD Acoustic are top tier on Deluxe for me. BTD Acoustic is a sleeper, I always sorta forget about it and then just love Skiba's voice on it every time. It is so nice hearing him sing and not do the yelling thing. I gave California a spin at the gym a few weeks ago and was loving it. I had even forgot about Rabbit Hole and was enjoying that. I don't listen to it any more or less than I do other Blink stuff. Side Notes: Mark's in the studio with Amy Shark, who Tom is a huge fan of and was supposedly planning on working with. Mark/Skye were at a show last night where Ilan was playing with Paul McCartney and Matt Bellamy. Small world. Travis liked a comment where someone wrote "I post Tom Delonge memes all day". Weird.

Honestly, I think the beef between Mark and Tom has cooled off. Mark tagged Tom in the Twitter post for the Untitled record anniversary last November. Travis has been hanging with Tom. And really the most press blink has gotten since Cali was because of Tom and his alien hunt. Not to say they are anywhere close to hanging or, you know, making music. That may never happen again. But I think that they might say hey to each other if Mark and Tom ever accidentally ran into each other on the street (or Disneyland) which is a far cry from where they were 2-3 years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost 3417 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Las time I listened something out off California was Bored to Death and 6/8. That was like... 3 or 4 months ago. Edit: oh, I almost forget to say it. I absolutely love the line "In betwen whispers and screams you permeate my soul". I think that only line is brilliant. I don't know why but to me it really fits in the description of a toxic relationship, the type in which you're kinda trapped through the ups and obscure downs being unable to leave and step outside of that mountain of shit. Sweet nothing whispers on one side, and screams on the other, whle that person is just drilling you. Brutal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boxelder 4699 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 misery was so bad to me. sounds like anything any band trying to sound like blink c. 2006 would've put out. i remember just sighing when i heard it. cali deluxe is the all-time worst thing mark or travis (or matt) have ever been involved with. a forgettable mess and wildly generic. 6/8 showed promise, i suppose, but that was it. and even that sounded like a joke 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
