Champ182 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 I still think Tom was lying about that entire "odds and ends" demos album. That shit sucked. None of it sounds like it was actually being considered for Blink, I think he just threw it all together in a week or two to try to save face after leaving the band again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind something like that, I don’t think it’s terrible and it would work as a song to break the album up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both of them decided to make an we're 16 and we're from California record and the kings of the weekend, I'd be creeped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Some of the songs on Chasing Shadows would fit great in blink. I would love a song like Voyager with a Mark and Travis influence 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I’m pretty sure golden state was proven to be written before he quit blink. There was some photo with the lyrics by a microphone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, he definitely posted a clip of that Animals song and said it was a new blink song he was working on. 100% And a lot of the lyrical content is forced sounding blink material 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Invisible Parade was alright (although I wish he actually bothered to take a second pass at the fucking recording of the acoustic guitar because it’s dog shit in places) theres okay moments in other songs like circle jerk pit and animals but mostly its a big ol’ pile of wank.

kibbles Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Y’all crazy Tom posted a printout of the lyrics to golden showers back in 2013 and guitar amp or some shit. It’s clear he just slapped together a bunch of demos he was working on, at the pace he works there’s no way he threw all those together out of thin air last minute lol also endless summer slaps, with Mark and Brooks taking over Travis’s place on blink it’d be gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
