Elisa Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm okay with the song, I'm not blown away, and I was expecting more guitars in the mix, but it's fine. It's just great to have Tom back and I'm sure the next single will be crucial because it'll give us an idea of the direction they're taking with the album. With this song you can't really figure out what blink will sound like now because it's a weird choice. But I think we're gonna have to accept that the over production and the metallic aututone are not going to leave us. Someone please tell me what Mark says before the word daydream in the bridge. I'm losing my mind because I don't understand it haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petros Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Bored to death was better on first listen. That being said I'll wait to listen to it properly with some good headphones later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prankerd14 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Its a grower for sure, the song feels disjointed, hopefully thats not the trend on the album but in general its good to have them back 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't feel that different to what blink has released since Tom left. Lots of repetition etc. I do really enjoy it but I loved everything Skiba era as well. Feels like a Mark song for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 The song's fine. I agree with everyone saying it's very Cali though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bagel Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Song kinda blows. Love them, don’t really care tbh but feels like a forgettable Cali/Nine era song. Im just not a fan of Travis’s production at all, Feldmann disciple. Still beautiful to hear them both on the track - but if we complained about Nine/Cali, have to feel the same about these elements here 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givemeyoureyes Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 The song is generic but happy to hear Mark and Tom singing again. I am not a fan of the modern production style with drums that are slammed and overpowering to the point that it takes away from the rest of the music. I am hoping that the bass and guitars are more prominent in the other songs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy030 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 After all the NaNas on Cali it's nice not to have any on the first single back with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I was expecting the song to start with a huge riff, not Dumpweed style because it would have been too much, but at least a riff like Natives. We need more guitars DIO SANTO (this is me swearing in italian). But I'm already coming to terms with this upbeat, weird song. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 This for sure should do well on radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
