Champ182 Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Really disliked Simple Creatures personally, but I did appreciate that it was a side project that was its own thing. I agree that the new Blink record is going to be fire, I have a really good feeling about it! 1 Quote
Drama-Free Jan Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Simple Creatures was annoying as fuck, but it didn't offend me in any way because it was a Mark 'side' project, so I'm happy to see him having fun and that lightsaber video made me chuckle. They had a few moments. Nothing I'll ever remember though like Boxcar/+44/AvA/Cali/Nine their other official side projects. I'll probably relate it more to blink than anything Aquabats though. 1 1 Quote
jordidanen95 Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 okay so thats an unpopulair opinion on my part. But Mark did sound better on those EP's, power behind his vocals and a slick production without overdoing the autotune melodyne thing thats all over Cali. I remember times on the 2016/2017 records where i would hear singing notes that didn't even sound ''human''. Just butchered by Feldman. 2 Quote

boxelder Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 simple creatures had it’s moments. love one little lie to this day, and songs like strange love, nvm, and adrenaline still pop up. i think it would’ve been cooler to release as an album — would’ve gotten more press and maybe made more waves. the collab was more inspired than most during that era. 1 Quote
jordidanen95 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 I have both EP's all together as an album. As a full listen its a lot of fun and quite diverse so i just don't get bored by it. 1 Quote

Resident Zoomer Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 Just saw this on r/blink182 (sorry!) of what appears to be another leak from the Skiba era. Unfortunately it’s only 17 seconds. I really dig the instrumental. https://reddit.com/r/Blink182/s/UgkyR5fSZa 1 Quote

I said a while back that I would be so stoked if the new blink record has just a song or two that was co-produced by Zakk Cervini because of exactly what you said about the production of the EP’s. I find his style (for my taste) to be an ideal balance if a band wants to fuse their live instruments with electronic elements. I enjoy those EP’s quite a bit and still hope for more music, I know Travis is sitting on a remix he did for “Drug” hopefully that sees the light of day sooner than later 1 Quote

It this leaks are coming from the original demos before Feldmann, the must be coming from a really close person to the band, as long as Skiba said those songs were at some Mark's hard drive or even Mark or Matt. If they come from the album that they were working on after NINE (that was cold shelved), it mus be from someone in the studio. I think we'll end up listening the whole thing at some point. Which is cool. I'm curious. Quote

Sun God Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 Today I’m thankful that this man is not Mark’s neighbor Quote
