It's like in the NFL when Patrick Mahomes played 1 year, but you already knew he was one of the best ever. I wouldn't say he's 'better', but he made a better album than over half of them, and he difference is they became over saturated, his was a homage/nod to it, so I wouldn't say he's better than the originals but his take was great, really your boy Travis is a lot to thank for that, he likely put it all together as well as it did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never that big in Sweden so I don't have that nostalgic connection towards them. Simple plan though, that is my jam, one of very few bands where I always like their new albums every time they get released 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never listened to them after that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also a really great live band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octaves kind of give it a non pop punk feel, I can't think of a poppy song with octaves, it gives it that minor/darker tone, which is cool, but yeah pop punk definitely was known for the bright power chord scales and palm mutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love octave chords. They're kinda like power chords, just omitting the 5th and muting that string, so they're not really major or minor (like a power chord isn't really major or minor) and can work for either. I can definitely think of poppy sounding songs that use them. Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" for starters. That intro is octave chords. "Feeling This" by blink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
