I like it musically, but the lyrics seem very try-hard. This might not surprise you but Shut Up was my favorite song as a kid. I still like it, it's really catchy and seems more campy than cringey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'm on board Toypaj was a better album than Enema. It's not as iconic but it had better songs imo. Roller Coaster? Rock Show? Please take me home? Reckless abandon? Everytime I look for you? Classics and prime 'fun' blink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem a bit light hearted. Listen to the entire Easy Target chorus. It's fun/fucked up, not serious to me. The intro altogether in Shut Up screams tongue in cheek, while the chorus is more semi serious. It's either that or my entire life has been a lie and I'm hearing things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I mean blink celebrations Enema's 20th anniversary without Tom feels to me like when 'Nirvana' played those shows on the induction ceremony thing with plenty of guests. But well, Cobain is dead. Maybe the question here is... would be Tom able/agreeing to play that show if he was offered to do it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how 1 show would hurt blink or the next record with Skiba. If anything it'd just reinforce what all 3 have been saying: "No hard feelings. We're all good with this arrangement. We don't secretly despise each other..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being a total failure outside of blink, Tom doesn't want anything to do with the band. It's a double whammy of fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
