Patient #48273 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 10 minutes ago, Kay said: I struggle with this guys videos. I've watched quite a few but I find him really patronizing about the power of music itself. He likes to dilute things down to absolutes but they're mostly just based on his opinion more than anything else. I did watch this one and I kind of see what he's saying but I really don't think that rock stopped writing songs about partying and therefore the genre died - it's a bit of an extreme takeaway. Yeah, I often find his videos annoying, but I thought this one was decent. And I agree that his analysis is oversimplified, but I think there's something to it. When rock eventually comes back to the mainstream, it'll be interesting to see if it's a fun/party version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song with Halsey is 12/10 though. Also lol at the Cali haters being big fans of this album. Talk about strange times. You watch the making of Bloody Valentine on youtube? There's this semi-fat blonde guy that kinda looks like Fat Mike from NOFX and he seems like the biggest douchebag leech I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 12 hours ago, Ghent said: I've been preaching this shit for years. Everyone is way too uptight about rock music and took the fun out of it. This board being a prime example. Is it tho? People shit on new Blink mainly because: (a) the production sucked (mainly the Cali era, it sounded so flat and compressed); (b) Skiba couldn't replace Tom in terms of the chemistry and guitar riffs (his live performances didn't help either); and (c) the band started hiring outside writers and seemed to lack direction at times. I think those are all legit criticisms that don't really relate to that video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 They should have replaced Tom with Oliver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked 3 songs on the entire album (3 songs I'll never listen to again). Personally, it's not my thing but if that's what other people are into, well, more power to them.

And you’re very right, nobody should have to justify liking this album and I don’t want them to. I had forgotten about it until Ghent tried to tout this wack SNL performance as some type of epic performance for the ages lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not genuine music. It makes me gag. I also heard whatever his first single was , whatever video that included that washed up actress in... how much do I need to keep listening?

I’m clearly outnumbered here and I wish Ghent didn’t bring it up because I’m not trying to be the no fun police lol. Carry on and enjoy whatever you want!
