The vocals deliveries surprised me because I can't stand ATL but Gaskarth's voice isn't annyoing at all here.The textures in the recording really stuck with me too. And for once I am glad that Mark isn't trying too hard to make all the lyrics rhyme, you can comfortably read some of these lyrics aloud and not feel like an idiot. But it's not for me. I dig it, it's fine and I've been listening to it for the last two days but I'm not going to save it on Spotify or return to the record at all. I really think these are good songs, and, if you like the genre, I can see why everyone likes them so much. I will definitely listen to the other songs that they will release and I gotta say I feel a little better about the new blink stuffs too now, but Simple Creatures just isn't my cup of tea. I think Mark should have saved the Adrenaline intro for blink though. Odd duck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I can't listen to something once or twice and trash it, I'm weird when it comes to music but I'm used to give everything a chance. So I listened to it a few times yesterday and once this morning and then I decided how I felt about it. It's not something I like but I can appreciate things if they're well done, even though they're not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mau5 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 "Trash Pop" is the cringiest self-description I've ever heard in my life, my God. It's pop and this is absolutely awful. Couldn't imagine anyone listening to this over the age of 16. Wonder if Maroon5 is going to be featured on the next blink album the way Mark is rolling in his 40s.

I can see why people like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyCuomo Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Saw the show last night. Gaskarth fits much better with Mark than Skiiba does. Alex isn’t very funny but he tries, bless his heart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Gaskarth is like Mark's little brother or even like his child, I like the chemistry. Him and Skiba just don't work, at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it the more I think it’s an absolute disgrace blink have continued without Tom. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordidanen95 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Being in blink now makes no sense It's a dead animal kicked in the face I like that Mark is doing something else but Simple Creatures is not enough. (I do like this EP tho) They should've taken a hiatus when Tom left, and then stated that they started a new band Mark/Travis/Skiba. Or just Mark and Travis doing a second +44 record and ring up shane and craig or atleast 1 of them. Or... Mark and Travis should've started something new or a collab with friends from the scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 After hearing that Mark can actually make good music and seeing his attitude towards this band in that interview, it really is clear Blink shouldve died with Tom. Would be much happier with Mark continuing with this over Blink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf182 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Fuck, SC even has better looking merch than blink https://store.simplecreaturesmusic.com/ i'm digging the hoodies and the t-shirts, especially the "vhs glitch" shirts. they feel relevant in design and very fitting with the kind of music they play. For real, whoever the fuck has been designing blink's merch for the last 10 years needs to get his ass fired, just look at it: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 It's better than blink merch, but that's a very low bar. It's still not something I'd wear, even if I liked the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I’m 30 so it’s not really aimed at me but still. It’s a mess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
