Nosferatu 1897 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Young and the Hopeless was an awesome album for me when I was 9. I remember having a wireless CD player and taking that album with me anywhere I go back in 2002. It was my album of the year back then (Currently I'd choose Boxcar Racer of course). Whenever I listen to it nowadays though, it just doesn't blow me away like it used to. But damn, the album does bring back good memories. 2000-2002 were probably my favourite ever years of my life. Hold On is my favourite and is still one of my all time favourite tracks. Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous is still pretty damn good and holds up well for me. The rest are just songs I can't get into although I'll admit I do sing/hum the odd line or two from the other singles haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Depf 578 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 It was undoubtedly marketed towards young teens but the intro was awesome and so is the song about the joy of suicide. The balls on those pricks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheerios4u98 11629 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 That's heartwarming. 9 years later and he has an album with Travis. It's like All Time Low starting out as a blink-182 cover band and now Alex Gaskarth is literally in a band with Mark Hoppus. They're dreams come true for these guys and it's fun to see it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NotNow 2850 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 There’s a new machine gun Kelly and yungblud song that came out this week that I think is pretty good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4397 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I just heard these guys recently and I'm digging this song. Kinda reminds me of a more laid back Saves The Day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I highly recommend this Oso Oso album, it's catchy as hell and very chill. I also love their other album, The Yunahon Mixtape. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheerios4u98 11629 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I think it's safe to say that Machine Gun Kelly had my favorite album of the year this year. Never thought I'd say that. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4397 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 These guys are kinda hit or miss for me but I really liked this song from earlier this year: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4397 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Another great addition to the pop punk Christmas song canon! I love Charly Bliss and PUP and they sound great together. This rules and actually gives me a very early 2000s Blink-ish vibe. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I’m listening to an early version. the guy from PUP sounds perfect but her vocals sound like they were recorded underwater. likewise the guitars seem buried. am I crazy? I think when I looked it said it was mixed by one of the band members of Charly bliss, and I think they need to send it to a professional engineer lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cum 3705 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Machine Gun Kelly is working with Avril Lavigne. Could be interesting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patient #48273 8864 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Tangentially, ever since I heard MGK's duet with Halsey, I've thought her vocals sounded kind of Avril-ish on the track. I think Halsey sounds shrill in parts and I bet Avril would have sounded better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same opinion as you on this with that 11 minutes song except with Yungblud. As soon as I heard Yungblud singing, I had to turn it off. Halsey I didn't mind. The MGK song called I Think I'm OK was great until Yungblud started singing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't think too much about the mix just since it seemed to be a DIY type of release haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghent 18939 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 So when's the MGK/blink tour gonna happen? I'm still listening to Tickets to My Downfall. Probably best non blink pop punk released for over 10 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
