Yeah, kinda although I feel like BTD is much more closer to Adam's Song & STFTK than Everything's Magic is to Anthem Part 2 haha. I would've never batted an eyelid at that song being on Enema & Take Off. Like it's still clean guitars in the beginning and verses then power chords with some high gain on them for the chorus. Everything's Magic is just a complete AVA song with a similar sounding riff to Anthem Part 2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, this. It has the same strumming pattern as Adam's Song and Stay Together for the Kids. It has similar sounding guitar tones. The chorus of BTD is the same style as Stay Together for the Kids but using that I–V–vi–IV progression rather than what STFTK uses. Put Bored to Death as track number 7 on Enema and it'll easily fit there just as well as Adam's Song. Could also replace STFTK with Bored to Death on TOYPAJ, and it'd still fit there in my opinion. I remember a lot of people that heard the song before release comparing the song to Adam's Song & Stay Together for the Kids. None of the 3 songs sound like each other. But they all definitely have similar vibes IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ye. 499 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 btd sounds like blink to me, but it doesn't sound much like old blink. people just associate it that way because they hear a recycled riff, mark's voice, and it was the first song to come from new blink. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vic vinegar 1328 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I know nothing about music... but to my ears, i can't unhear Adam's Song in BTD or Anthem pt2 in Everything's Magic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I guess so, but it’s different enough not to remind me of the other. I don’t hear STFTK either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, stay together for the kids has a totally different picking style/arrangement than Adam’s song, but this is your story so you stick to it! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ixidor 204 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Again this useless comparison of musicians' current output to old albums they try to emulate. You cannot write a new Enema or TOYPAJ because the times have changed as much as the people involved (and listeners) have changed. You cannot recreate 1999's vibe in 2020 - on an emotional, cultural or technological level (because they would use feldmann, for example). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Champ182 4264 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 BTD "feels" like Blink to me, but more of a grab bag of elements from the entire classic era rather than a certain album. Like the guitar picking pattern in the verses resembles Adam's Song, but the chord progression and melody feel more like something they wouldn't have done until Untitled. The chorus is pure anthemic sugar rush Enema/TOYPAJ though. SOOHM clearly attempts to sound exactly like Enema but it's not a good song. TOTTM sounds and feels like Enema/TOYPAJ and enjoy that one a lot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
