I'm kind of expecting some type of 'greatest hits' setlist with the introduction of new songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussay Patrol Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 The song is okay. It gets stuck in my head but I wouldn't say it's a great song. Repeats the chorus a bit much and there was a bit much synth it gets grating. On the album I hope there's more long instrumental parts and a bit more spacey ambient songs not just all pop songs. I wish Aaron wouldn't help out with AVA, he isn't a good producer and he's a dick On the tour, I saw AVA twice in 2012 with Ilan and they were great. Tom didn't really talk to the audience at all but the songs sounded great and they had heaps of bits changed up from the album versions plus drum and piano solo from Ilan and cool light show. I'd definitely see them if you don't mind AVA and haven't seen them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm not a huge fan of Aaron's production but my complaints took a back seat when Feldy showed how much worse it can be. I've never had too much of a problem production wise on the EPs (a little grumbly comments about some of the levels on parts of tracks but nothing major) but on Dream Walker there were more stand out problems. I remember Aaron tried claiming it was an 'artistic' choice to have a difference between cleaner and 'etherial' tracks like The Disease and have more weirder grittier bits for songs like Paralyzed but... I mean... they just ended up with muddy whack sounding parts, intentional or not it's not a good job. I still haven't properly listened to Rebel Girl to judge the production, I'll listen to the whole record and make that call. I'm not expecting great production but I'm not expecting it to be shite either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs really sound good, but others sound bad enough that calling it stylized feels too lazy to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they wanted to go for a raw, rough, less production sound. But it sounded very dense. Instruments didnt breathe. Just a huge clusterfuck sometimes and you couldnt hear what was going on. Good songs got a hit because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken English Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I really like the track, a little overproduced and synth-ey, but it works for me. Hopefully they tour Aus on the album cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horchata Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Rebel Girl is fun, but I have a feeling it’ll get stale. Hopefully not as fast as California. I was out jogging with the song on repeat and was pretty sick of it by the end, mostly because of the lead synth part - it could’ve been a cool guitar part. Still with all that said, it’s a fun song and better than 85% of California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts Engineer Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 This song is a grower, don't care what anyone says. I'm usually not too fond of AvA and only "kind of" like Simple Creatures, while loving +44 and Boxcar. This song kicks the crap out of any recent blink or Simple Creatures for me.. Surprisingly. It's still AvA, but it feels more like the Tom we like, simple but extremely catchy melodies, a little breakdown and nice little riff that feels like only Tom could mimick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
