Ghent Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 KROQ is playing the shit out of BIOMY. Really hope it catches on with the normals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixidor Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Let's be honest, the majority of people have been waiting for a true successor to untitled since 2009, which we will probably never get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I love Up All Night, but it really was a poor choice for a single. Should have made Even If She Falls the lead single, think that song could have done very well on the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 BIOMY, easily. BTD was boring to me the second it started. i recognized the recycled riff, the flanger on trav's drums... the lyrics were outrageously dumb ("rescuing a tiger from a tree / life is too short to last long"), and the double-time drums in the chorus literally made me roll my eyes the first time i heard it. i remember thinking it sounded just like all time low, the production, and being so bummed. the only thing i liked was the bridge, really. but the whole thing is an overpolished, throwback mess. BIOMY still isn't what i'd prefer but i'm on board with it because i really just like the tune. it's catchy, i think the lyrics look back in a mature fashion, and i really like the production. i think it's a fresh step in a new direction for the band if they're going to go a wildly poppy route. of course i'd rather have tom, trav, and mark creating a mature, progressive followup to untitled but that's never going to happen. at this point, i'm just content with what we have and while i know it isn't right and the songwriters bum me out, i guess BIOMY still has something weirdly blink about it to me that i really dig.

Ixidor Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I still can't believe Mark and Tom couldn't cross paths in the studio during their two weeks of actual recording together to tape trading vocals for Heart's All Gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Bored to Death had a lot of redeeming qualities and reminiscent of a blink song. I genuinely like it to some degree as a mid level blink song. BIOMY immediately was the worst song ever created. Threw up in my mouth multiple times. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing Well was like a promo single and got some airplay, but not very much. Album in all honesty was not great for having songs with radio appeal. Frankly, Snake Charmer could potentially have been a better performing single for the album and you know something isn't quite right when that's the case.

Nasa Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 i still like “Bored to Death” even though it has its flaws. i thought it was an ideal lead single. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucko Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Bored to death. Actually got me excited for California and new blink. BIOMY does nothing for me. At all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they're not really radio great songs but if you don't have the marketing behind it they won't get anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Neighborhoods is an album I can throw on and randomly dig. Bored to Death was a radio jam that had people who couldn't care less about blink actually tuning in. It was a great feeling hearing cars blasting that tune in the summer randomly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling_This_1 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Bored to Death is one of the best blink songs period and to do it without Tom is really impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoltan Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 biomy is a nice track, but i can't see it would be good live. btd is great on the album, and it sounds great live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vinegar Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ugh, BTD I guess. The "dive bar" part of the song is the only thing that's sounded anything like blink since Tom quit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Bored to Death is one of the huge wins of the Skiba-era imo and might honestly be one of my favorite blink singles. I can’t overstate how hyped that song made me for California. I didn’t love the album in the end but I still love that song. This new song is okay but I don’t love it.
