Honestly expected this to come from Mark lol. There’s a lot of times where Matt sounds like he’s on a boy band pop song and it’s hilariously awkward although he probably could if he tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave900 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I didn't listen to it in it's entirety yet. but I did download it and previewed some of the songs that hasn't been released yet and Wow! They really outdid themselves on some of these songs. So much better than what was released previously! I love the dark vibe of it. It doesn't feel like Blink-182, but it's pretty damn good.

jordidanen95 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Now your just a stranger And i feel like i've let you down Your friends say i'm a failure and i could never prove them wrong So call me when your lonely and maybe we can work it out fall back in our routines like nights i still dream about I am loving all these lyrics on all these songs, i can finally relate to this band again A lot of stuff from recent years felt a little bit disconnected. Nine shines at that angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njdevils26 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 What bothers me is how they have no fucking idea who they are as a band. My theory of just trying anything and everything and hoping something sticks is clear on the album. There’s no flow or continuity, it’s very much a band (and several groups of writers) unsure of what the straight forward direction of the band is, and it shows. There’s no identity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point. But I also know that 5 songs I heard off the album sucked...that’s what at the very least 1/3 of the album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you relating to though? Some pop radio writer you don’t know? Surely these lyrics aren’t from Mark’s soul. Unless he’s singing behind his wife’s back about a girl he still dreams about from over 20 years ago. There’s no sincerity in these lame lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Zoomer Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I know everyone is wishing for this lineup to capture that classic blink sound, but it’s not going to happen. A major co-writer/frontman has been out of the band for almost five years. Hell, it was a rare occasion for classic blink to show up during the Neighborhoods/DED era. Honestly, the only song that gave me that feeling during the reunion was When I Was Young. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but that was one of the most cohesive songs between Mark and Tom (and maybe After Midnight - but that was a whole new sound for them tbh). The only song on California that truly sounded like classic blink was Bored to Death. There are a couple of other gems on Cali but there were more of their own thing or a nice fusion of Alkaline Trio/+44. That’s basically what this album is. I think the most blink chorus on this album has been On Some Emo Shit and it’s a great mix of indie blink and pop-punk blink. Regardless, I don’t give a shit if it sounds like a blink or not. I just care if it’s a good product created by Mark, Matt, and Travis (and whoever the fuck else they are sleeping with) and is GENIUNE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I feel like Pin the Grenade is far and away the most Blink sounding song on this record. Also happens to be the best song on the record, which is no coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck no way man, I don't hear any blink in that song besides "just another night until we're lost and all alone" and the quick bridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Zoomer Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Am I the only one (other than @Ghent) who’s not head over heels for Pin The Grenade? It’s a fun and a catchy song but I did not expect it to reach the top of the polls. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 No Skiba solo songs for 3 albums now makes me think the band has a goodwill clause in their contract with Tom to always have Mark/Travis involved in the songs, presumably to always preserve the reputation of the band. It doesn't make sense that Skiba hasn't had a song yet considering how much they have put out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodda Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Pin the Grenade and The First Time were the only songs that compelled me to sing along on my commute today when listening to Nine. And I audibly laughed out loud when I noticed the lyric "We both made a left, it don't make it right" during Remember to Forget Me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
