Back to Fell In Love: the chorus is already stuck in my head and I only listened to it twice and the Close To Me intro is cool. I could do without the plastic sound of Tom's voice but this is how production goes nowadays. Especially if Travis is the producer.
I know the song will grow on me when I get to listen to it in better quality and on repeat.

 

after a few listens it's really just that second verse that bothers me.  WHY does his voice sound so goofy there but not the rest of the song?  I'm just being picky because the chorus is classic blink but it's hard for me to ignore.

I legit thought that intro was an ad when I first heard it. Maybe it was the shitty audio quality

I like it. It’s catchy. I will say though that video quality is shit sounds muffled as fuck. It’s a cool 2 minute bop. Even if you’re not fussed on it why would you skip? It’s over so quick. I don’t mind the cure ish vibes but that would sound much better with a guitar. It’s not going to be a single chill out. It’s a bit of album filler. Tom’s vocals do sound off a bit I’m hoping it’s just that awful video quality though.

Song is ok. The melodies are good but it sounds like it could be a 5sos song. I think this song is a perfect example of what we were all afraid of with Travis producing. Replace Tom's voice with MGK and it would sound out of place for an MGK song at all. Probably not gonna listen to this one a lot.

Yeah the audio apparently was recorded on someone’s phone while someone else played the song through discord. So I feel you on that

I mean, this in my opinion is the worst song from the ones we have heard so far. I still like it, but this is the kind of Cali song that Skiba would sing and I would say "I can't imagine Tom singing this".

True blink-182 is back, I'm very happy, and I knew not all songs would be bangers.

Proper boils my piss when people say oh this sounds like MGK etc no MGK sounds like pop punk artists not the other way round.

It’s so rad how different every song has been. Definitely feels like conscious effort by the band to have a little something for everyone. Very curious to see what the overall album vibe is once it’s out.

I like it, its the if they wrote a Cure song

Yeah I like this too. Something for everyone and keeps it fresh and interesting. I can’t wait to see how this record flows

No way dude it’s nothing like The Cure! It’s MGK meets Cali!!

[Tenks]

Very weird song. The audio quality is awful but I like the vibe. Lyrics are... not great.

This song would 100% fit right on that first MGK album if you switched their voices.

Or in other words, this song kicks ass

Toms lyrics are hard to hear. I’m hoping it’s the video quality.

This song has ruined the reunion for me. I regret seeing them twice in the summer and I’ll be taking a poo on their vinyl and then burning it when it’s delivered. 

This edgelord is out. Nice knowing you all ✌️

Fun little love song! Feels very late 90s beachy pop like Sugar Ray or something, but with enough Blink-ish personality to make it stand out (LOL at Tom singing "having sex all night, it's fucking with my head" in a song).

I won't revisit this one a lot and I can't quite get onboard with some of the more modern pop flourishes, but I feel a lot more patience for a harmless little ditty like this since I know they have plenty of bangers and serious moments on the album too.

Can't really judge beyond that based on the low quality rip. Excited to listen again more closely tomorrow!

essentially, champ always says what i'm thinking. a little more egregiously commercial than i was expecting -- especially after songs like MTYK. but as others have said, i appreciate the variety the album is offering. it's a slight song, short and sweet, but not all that great. definitely my least favorite of all the songs they've released, edging included.

the lyrics are pretty bad, but that's been the case for much of this record so far (MTYK more or less the sole exception).

[Scott.]

Jason Tate on Chorus said apart from the joke songs this is his least fave so again it’s just someone’s opinion but kinda promising if he thinks this is the worst song on the record. 

[Chewy030]

Just based on what we've heard I have very high hopes on this record.

Honestly it’s already exceeded my expectations with the songs we’ve had. I couldn’t be more happy with where the band is atm.

Completely agree.
