This year hasn't been a good year for Blink in terms of fan relationship. The Lil Wayne tour / remix, the writers and general pop sound, the Darkside video, and let's not forget the lack of ticket sales. But hey, if the band is doing what they want and they are okay with the backlash, then I'm okay with it." You have to admit that everything they did over the past few months wasn't very well received. When California came out things weren't this dreary. Didn’t all the shows end up being packed? Everyone here that’s been to shows said so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I'm pretty sure the low ticket sales are a myth. Everyone who's been to a show on this tour (including me) has said the venue has been packed. I just don't think people are buying tickets ahead of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was really the first time Mark tinkered heavily with electronic sound, still so much better than Simple Creatures and whatever they're doing in blink. Can't they just be more like this than all the way? +44 terrific band this record will prob never get the respect it deserve its just not what the masses connects with or see as something great but its all there. terrific riffs, terrific lyrics, heartfelt, super dark(again comming from someone that alot of people tought couldnt write serious songs) california and nine are nowhere near this quality of songwritig this was years ago tho, maybe mark just doesnt have it in him anymore to write great stuff like this maybe time as ran out sometimes people just cant do it anymore ive seen many times already also for people who think the new stuff is great idk what you put in ur salad but like dont put that in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 My wife is going to BSB live the night after blink. I’m going to a football game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas D. Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I don’t seem to dislike the song as much as everyone else does. But I think this song proves how much Blink misses Tom’s input. This doesn’t sound like Blink at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Yeah, the ticket sale might be a myth, but don't focus on the tickets. Imagine the excitement of sharing the news about your new tour with Lil Wayne or your new song/video and your own fans are always shitting on it. Things aren't too rosy on their end this time, especially compared to the summer California came out. I bet they just don't care about it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I kinda like the song doesn't sound like blink. I thought California felt like they were trying too hard to sound like "old blink-182" and I'm a bigger fan of them pushing new sounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 1 hour ago, jlx9 said: I’m going to actually defend Oliver here and say I’m not sure about the guitar parts in this song. I think there are some clean parts muffled up throughout the verses, you just can’t hear them as well because of the production style they were going for there. There are some ambient parts and I really like the guitar bend/slide that I think is in the chorus. I know an acoustic guitar shows up throughout the song. The only thing I’m not sure about is when the band kicks in, my first thought is that the guitars are there but the production just sounds off and I can’t tell if it’s more synth-heavy instead. I’ll find out tomorrow when we officially get a higher quality version. Yeah, I was half joking. 80% of Blink songs when Tom was in the band have memorable guitar riffs. Start at Enema, Dumpweed, boom, Don't leave me, again, Aliens Exist, that one too. Going Away to College, WMAA, it keeps right on going...... Name one song with Matt that has a memorable guitar riff? LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
