I Really Wish I Hated You

Remember when Matt first joined blink and everyone was saying it was just going to be +44 combined with Alkaline Trio and we hoped that the AK3 influence wouldn't be too strong in blink?

How fucking awesome does a combination of +44 and Alkaline Trio sound now? I want that so much.

I was really looking forward to Alk 44 tbh, everyone was concerned and I was just like "here's hopin'!"

It should have been Justin Pierre - he would actually be able to sing Tom's vocals live and he has worked with Mark before.
It's a shame because his new album was a whole lot of forgettable and MCS is kaputt. Wasted potential!

I actually don't hate this song. I guess blink is 2/5 with the new songs for me. There's now legitimate hope they can improve this album as 2/5 is better than Cali where they went 3/15 or something. Guess demoting Feldy and writing with 150 people is working in their favor, they went from a dreadful 20% Vic Approval Rating to nearing 40%.

Even Feldman is sharing this song on insta. He hasn’t shared anything about non-feldy songs this album cycle.

Can someone actually cite sources where it says blink has cowriters? Still haven't seen difinitive proof other than hearsay 

Go on spotify, play a new blink song. Hit "..." next to the play count/popularity rating. Hit "show credits".  Written by means cowriters, produced means produced. When you see the producer in both the writers credits and the production credits. That means he wrote during the session, and also worked/developed/finalized the production. 

 

So you'll see this single has 4 outside writers,+ the three band members, two of the writers worked on the production. 7 people on the writing, two people ontop of the band  brought the track to how you hear it now.

Been saying this for a while now, but i hope Mark gets kicked out of the band and replaced with Feldy. That’s the real blink!

If they played to their strengths and made a genuine punk or rock album, it likely would have been great.

the vibe from the nine tracks released so far... i dunno, i think @Kay might have mentioned this, but there's just an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. like, they're guessing. guessing what pop is right now, guessing what "the kids are listening too" etc.

and for an artist, right or wrong, bad or good, if you're not doing something authentic, it's over. just stop. it's the difference between an artist—any kind—saying fuck all this is who i am, and an artist trying to "give an audience what they want." and from the comments on these boards, many feel that the band has guessed wrong.

whatever this nine album turns out to be, what it will likely not feel like is real.

[Lindemulder]

Uncertainty/guessing could be sidelined with experimenting that they said this album is about though. Experimenting is exactly about not knowing how things will turn out - so I dont blame them for trying. (I havent heard the new song though because I'd rather wait for the album and have one more song I dont know)

I reject to judge the band until the album actually arrives. Just ike Cali there must be some songs that are absolutely wonderful. Why would they chase fame on the radio now? It has'nt been so for about 15 years, so its just hard for me to believe we'll get 15 songs that are just made to be radiohits and poppy.

[tussy]

Hate the song, absolutely terrible.

But.. if you listen carefully in the second verse, Mark plays some really nice bass chords which he definitely won’t be able to play live while singing. That’s the only positive I could draw from this heap of shite.

i would put creative experimentation into a different category. that's about taking risks. conversely, guessing is all about playing it safe.
