I have bands i like with albums I dislike. It's the incessant complaining and talking about it that I don't understand. It seems people enjoy disliking things in the modern world. This isn't the only band/franchise that is experiencing fanhoods with issues like this. Can't wrap my head around how it is enjoyable to constantly complain about something you are a fan of. I think it's just because we all know that there was so much more potential there and we feel like it's all being squandered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the potential was squandered from 2005-2015. What we are getting now is just bonus material from a shitty situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don’t eat up everything they release and criticize the band based on valid reasons, doesn’t mean you’re not a “fan”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I can't remember many people complaining about blink-182 around the 05-09 period simply because there was no blink at all to even talk about. It was more +44 against AVA on who was the better band from what I remember. It was positive around 09 until the summer of 2010 when it became obvious Tom was holding the band back during the reunion. People complained more and more then. Then Neighborhoods shut us all up for a good couple of months until we realised blink barely talked about that album. Then there was just barely any news of blink outside of tours until the DED EP. There was so much silence around the band back then. None of us had a clue what was going on. One positive about the band now is that we hear more about blink. They're open about new material and not really delaying shit anymore. Was annoying as hell when we didn't hear fuck all about blink from 09-14. They were meant to be releasing a 7th album with Tom for like 3 years and it was just always silence and delays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dildo69er Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 So...first show is soon? Wonder how they will fill the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Wow. I just listened to the entire EP on Spotify. This kind of music is not my cup of tea and it makes me think of “songs you would hear in an urban outfitters” but those are undeniably some good pop songs! Such a shame that Mark isn't singing on Adrenaline because that song is perfect for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 How to live is pretty shit. Every other song is great though. Marks “rap” type thing in Lucy got an actual laugh out of me this morning when I listened but still a great song. Strange love and adrenaline I’ll be pumping for weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Really dig this EP. I'm glad Mark is finally getting a side project to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordidanen95 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I like it It has its moments, i like it sonically...with good headphones. Nothing to outgoing, modern radio elements...but pretty catchy 6,9/10 (Will probably grow this weekend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Zoomer Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’ve been revisiting How to Live. It’s a pretty chill pop song that sounds like it could be played while nightdriving. Only complaints is that I sometimes don’t understand what Gaskarth is saying and that it’s repetitive (it’s pop so it gets a pass). I really like how near the end of the song, Mark’s lower vocals are upfront while his higher vocals are in the background. I hope they do that with the new blink album, his higher voice is starting to give due to age but he still retains his somber deep voice. I think it suits him more.

Jan Backing Track Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Mark totally needs to keep doing these side projects, he sounds like where he should be poppy or not. Couldn't help but smirk at some of this goofy Mark shit. 1. Adrenaline 2. Strange Love 3. How To Live 4. Drug 5. Lucy 6. Ether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
