Skiba can stay if he wants, they would sound way better live with two guitarists and another singer. Skiba also brings a unique sound that has worked well in places. Mix it with Tom and see where it goes. AVA is a waste of time. AVA is a waste of time, but your fantasy blink scenario will never happen. Tom is blink. Tom started blink. It’s still his band! IF, and that’s a big IF Tom ever returns, he ain’t acknowledging the Skiba era or any Skiba songs lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no chance he'll work with Feldman too if he ever does return to blink. It'll either be self produced or they'll probably hire one of the punk producers like that Bill Stevenson guy. I swear he was one of the names mentioned around 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom isn’t in blink, it’s not his band, and there are blink songs that he has nothing to do with that he will be expected to perform if he ever returns.

Tom would respect Bill Stevenson as he’s a member of Descendents. That guy also produced one of A Day To Remember’s album, and they did it all old school/analog I believe instead of computers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a really long drive yesterday and spun it start to finish and holy FUCK compared to anything blink or ava have done post first hiatus it really feels like blinks true swan song and the level of quality feels super high. I know they supposedly half assed it yada yada yada but it is much for enjoyable to listen to than restless souls ffs. Can I get an amen?! Amen. Still love this album, warts and all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit Poster Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Neighbourhoods is an 8/10 album for me (their other peak albums like Dude Ranch through Self-Titled are all around 9/10). If you cut some of the weaker tracks (MH 4213.221321.123, Fighting the Gravity) and paste some of DED tracks in instead, as well as Tom contributing to more songs like HAG and Kaleidoscope and having better bridges, then it's easily a 9/10 album.

I loved it when it came out but it’s the blink album I listen to the least these days and when I do I just don’t feel it that much. Too disjointed maybe I dunno. I know some like that about it but not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I think it's an alright album. Many songs like "Kaleidoscope" are rather bland. The lyrics and melody are so bland, but the background music is sooo nice to listen to that it saves it. If it were a pop punk song on California it'd be terrible. "Love Is Dangerous" rules though, The Church ripoff and all. I definitely think the entire album is better as a piece of music than a set of songs , if that makes sense. But the same thing goes with the 2003 album tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Neighborhoods feels like a VERY good demo. They definitely needed a producer on that one. You can hear hints of greatness on some songs, but it’s not really there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epitaphellcat Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 if hearts all gone had tom on the verses like how they did it live would be a top 10 all time imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
