Kay Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I made it through like 4 tracks, kiss kiss is basically identical to bloody valentine, and it's very cheesy corny paint by numbers pop punk sound, but it's fucking better than modern blink. Still not my thing but I find it hysterical how much riffier this is considering it's basically pop music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterAdam Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Was really looking forward to the MGK album but was pretty disappointed to be honest. Wasn’t bad but just found it boring except for Bloody Valentine. Going to give it another listen and hope there’s a few growers on there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Albums decent but honestly the choruses mostly fall flat which is disappointing because the foundation is there for awesome songs. Some really good ones though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Decent album but a lot of the songs sound very same-same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 wow Halsey sounds great. Between the both of them they could bring a huge new following to the genre and blink. Both are huge Blink fans and you can hear blinks influence All over this album. Let’s hope between MGK, Halsey and yungblud pop punk gains a new following. I love hip hop but I’m fucking sick of hearing it everywhere 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I listened to the album and it's not my thing at all. I like one track but if this album can help gain pop punk music or alt rock music a bigger following, then I'm all for it. Like Scott I'm sick of the same old tired music that's been dominating the charts for the past decade and a half. It's about time chart music became more diverse like it used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterAdam Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I just feel like he set the bar too high with I Think I’m Okay last year and then songs like Hollywood Whore on his last album were a good mix of rap and rock. Where this album just feels like he was trying too hard to create a generic pop-punk album. Still a good album and going to keep listening to it but just think it could have been better.

Nosferatu Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Nothing Inside is a bloody good song. Jawbreaker is decent too. The rest are all just a bit boring to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me more of the pop punk bands from anytime after 2005 than it does of the bands before that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? That kind of makes me see it in a different light, because I think he nailed that. I hear almost all those bands in here throughout. I think the classic pop punk genre is simply just dead. I also like the little hip hop spin he put on it to stick to his roots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Listened to this like 4 times in a row yesterday. Just really well done all around. Honest, endearing, fun, funny, aggressive, catchy. This is so much better than any pop punk I've heard in years and years. And I can't believe there is an Operation Ivy tribute. I was so pumped when I noticed that, I listened to that album so much in high school. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
