DANCE WITH ME discussion - Olés meltdown subsided

[Elisa]

I saw from Mark and Travis on IG that all the people who are still in Bologna today went to greet them outside of their hotel (I think?), and I read on FB that Tom said they were humbled by all the love they got last night at the show and this morning and made some cum jokes ?

It’s awesome to see Tom so appreciative of the fans. He’s usually the one to stay low-key and not show his face too much.

We were talking about this with my friends last night, when we saw blink in the past he wouldn’t even look at the crowd while singing and playing but last he was really into it and very appreciative of the fans. 

There were like 10 or 15 people in the pit wearing an alien suite and he loved them. I took this short video when one of them ended up close to me lol

How many more shows do they have in Italy?

These are the next few shows (unless they do surprise ones in-between WWYF and next year

Both this and MTYK have a lot going on during the whole song so on the first ride is like ? very exciting but can't fully process it after a few more days go by and hype settles down.  Maybe just me.

The aliens dropped off the real tom delonge for this album.

All these olés and comparisons to Ava have unlocked a memory of an Ava song that had yodelling in it. Have I just made that up, I can’t remember anything about it at all?

im sure it came out between Whisper and Empire

Alright, this is my favorite song.  Heavy AvA influences or not, the song just kicks ass.  Someone pointed out Dude Ranch and they are absolutely right.  The joke to start it off, and some of the intro + verse guitars/styles.

The Olés is just them not taking themselves not too seriously anymore again.

The bridge is one of my favorite parts now, when you're listening to it loud, it sounds really nice and fitting. 

This song is an epic.  Every song is a blend so far.  Love to see it.

So Terrified is the reworked BCR song.

Singing Dance With Me along with blink last night was a cathartic experience. I still have the chorus on loop in my brain, I could hear the olè's even while I was sleeping ?

I woke up today with the song already stuck in my head ?

Me too. It's on repeat in there.

I didn’t realize how garbage Alt radio is nowadays. I saw it on there so left it playing and my goodness. How many chainsmoker type bands are there now?  They all sounded the exact same.

Grateful for Tom wanting to more homage old bands instead of enter this new wave.

[Jan Mortensen]

This song is a straight masterpiece.  I totally was not ready for it first listens between wacky expectations/artsy video.

The way the intro guitar drops out and bass line comes in with Tom's verses is so beyond great.  This is legit punk/pop punk again.

Imagine if we'd got this as the comeback song instead of Edging. Our minds would have been blown more than they've already had.

[Elisa]

this is officially my favorite song of this era. even if there are better songs on the album, i will always associate DWM with how happy i was at the craziest blink show i've ever been to.
and it's a staple live song already, i'm sure it will never leave their setlist. 

[Jamie]

I can safely say this is one of the best songs they've written. It could have easily fit between the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and Untitled albums. It's just got that classic Blink style. 

Matt Skiba seems like a good guy, but he would never write music like this. When Tom, Mark and Travis actually get in the studio and write together, they pretty much produce amazing albums.

To be fair to Matt his solo and Alk3 stuff sounds nothing like what he was producing with Blink so I wouldn't say his song writing skills should be used in a comparison.

Skiba is a brilliant man!
