Nosferatu Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 California really is a poor album for blinks standards. So many of the songs have good parts but terrible parts. Only songs I like as a whole are BTD, Los Angeles, HISALP, San Diego, The Only Thing That Matters, Last Train Home, Bottom of the Ocean & Long Lost Feeling. They really improved on Nine. Darkside has that pop punk vibe that Misery has but Darkside is so much better. Black Rain has that 6/8 vibe but Black Rain is so much better. Songs like No Heart to Speak Of aren't ruined by shite gang vocals like Left Alone is. Nine is just a better album overall. I never got a physical copy of California but definitely getting one of Nine. i rate it more than Neighborhoods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new, totally synthetic production style that blink-182 have been embracing lately just doesn’t do them any favors at all." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Music snobs are the fucking worst Latest Twenty One Pilots is miles ahead of new blink, it's funny how the reviewers can't even keep track of the bands they namedrop. Trench is a real masterpiece, however earlier records are questionable, but i totally get the comparison with ID and LP, it's similar and blink never was something like that. And then the reviewer says that FOB and Panic have the decency to write some bangers - it's a joke? it's just as plastic as nine, this is an example of a review where the reviewer lets his personal taste affect his perception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
