Jane Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Nothing really new? Appears all he wants these days is to stay sort of relevant in the music industry by keeping the blink name and making whatever music is popular atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The thing is I really like Simple Creatures. Why can’t he keep this pop stuff for that project and just knuckle down with Skiba and make a great rock record ffs. What’s he scared of? Blink 182 without guitars. Just wtf is going on?

Scott. Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just now, Jane said: Maybe he's just not into rock anymore. That’s fair enough but don’t fucking drag blink down the shitter. Make a new band 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Hoppus Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 he do whatever he wants, just drama-free I stopped analyzing his “behavior” a long time ago 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 You just can't please everyone, I feel for him. You keep Blink alive, try to have an EOTS style classic with California and people complain that he's desperate and stuck in the past. So you look in the mirror, try to push Blink in a new direction, and now he's desperate to be current. It's tough. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 It's a no win prospect trying to please the washed up fan base. Better off trying to attract new people and just being themselves, releasing what they feel like. Catering will never work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new song is even more poppier than anything All Time Low have ever released yet they’re hated on here and this song is great apparently ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yeah, California has it's own distinct blandness that never even touches Enema. While I do enjoy some songs on that record, it's still a far far cry from anything they've done in terms of sound/mood/arrangements/etc. It's just in the same umbrella term "pop-punk" that honestly doesn't mean much. I had no problem with them doing back to basics, just do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I mean, it's nothing really new....he's been struggling creatively ever since he let it all out in +44 tbh. Neighborhoods and DED was kind of the start of his creative fade, but he had this emotion to write from...now he has nothing but what he thinks the kids will want to hear. He's still a good bassist and it's clear Simple Creatures ignites his soul a bit. Blink looks like it's painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t what I wanted from blink But I quite like california but we’ve had that now let’s move on. I don’t want pop punk from Blink. It’s not even pop punk anymore by the sound of this new song, it’s just straight up pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
