After Mark says excuse and Travis does his drum fill, they couldve gone into a more rocking chorus, but no, back to the same chorus Yeah I was thinking after several listens they really could've came in halfway heavy and closed the song out solidly. The autotune "summer" outro is embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I read the lyrics and man that looks good. And we all thought it would be Kings of the weekend pt 2. Really excited to listen to the song now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dildo69er Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Its very different the verses and chorus are very catchy. I miss guitars. Can definitely see why they would choose this as the lead single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of Imagine Dragons, this is just fine with me. Though as someone looking for what was hopefully going to sound in the same vein as Untitled, this is not what I'm looking for. But who am I kidding, a song like this will likely do great on the radio in this day and age, which I'm sure is the goal with such a single. Definitely far more enjoyable a listen than Rebel Girl though, I will say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextmarkhoppus44 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 My thoughts... pros: I like the guitar sound, very The Cure-esque, just like Simple Creatures. Catchy chorus, Matt just sings well, Travis and the hip hop beats. Definitely different. cons: cringe lyrics, a bit overproduced but I think that’s what this album will be going for. One of my main issues from California, while I still enjoyed very much, is that they don’t let the instruments breathe, like they don’t have to sing over everything. Let the instruments carry themselves over to the next chorus/ verse. Overall, I can definitely say it’s a grower and I’ll probably hum it and hear throughout the rest of the day/week, but nothing great. Bored To Death was an instant top 15 for me on the first listen, and this one isn’t. My biggest worry is Mark overthinking what Blink-182 is and losing touch with what made blink special. I expect more from the boys next time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Piece of shit. Just an imagine dragons rewrite stripped of everything that once made Blink great. Even Travis can't save it. Its really a shame that Blink/AVA are so productive now, but are so productive at being mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 That was fucking garbage. Mark should be ashamed even remotely insinuating this could sound like something off Self-Titled. Guy needs to blast GO in his car and figure out what the hell blinks identity used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another piece of evidence towards the fact that you can never ever listen to what Mark says when hes talking about new music. Hes always wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
