Bad News Track Discussion

[Bucko]

Really looking forward to this one. Given the title, I assume it's going to be a very personal song to Mark?

[allsystemsgo]

Holy shit!

Friday here we come!

[Lemmingslikelips]

I wonder if this is about Mark's cancer? 

Spoiler

Apparently this is a Mark only song

If anybody could provide a link to the album, I'd be forever grateful! Posting so that I can be DMd as you need 20? posts to be able to.

This strategy isn’t going to work for you.

Great song!

[2point5]

Sounds like a new found glory song, but better haha. Love this one.

Its Sugar We’re Going Down ?

The Mark vocal performance on this is fucking A1. 

Such a fun jam. 

[ben182tx]

Love this song, it reminds me of “Not Another Christmas Song”. Similar theme and vocal melody

[Resident Zoomer]

Lot more lighthearted than I thought it would be, but fun. Mark is back baby.

[Pirate Mexicano]

I'm guessing (hoping) Tom wrote this song about Jen or Mark wrote it on his behalf. Just odd that Mark, the only one who hasn't gone through a divorce, is the one singing that. 

Song slaps though.

bad news + hurt about that you think?

[Knapppers]

This is just a solid Blink 182 tune. Doesnt blow you away with the first listen but then you come back to it and its just good. Gonna be a sleeper for sure

[Resident Zoomer]

Mark’s best vocal performance in a while. Dude sounds fucking alive.

[Jan Mortensen]

An underrated jam so far.  This one caught me by surprise, first listen felt too like other 2000s pop punk bands, then after 2nd listen on it's a very good song and easily replayeable.  Mark really sounds good here.

as much as i like this song, it feels like it could've been written by any sort of neck deep/state champs-type band. that's not to say it won't sneak up on me like blink always has the tendency to do.

this is kind of the vibe i get -- creative license is fine, but i feel like so often in the later mark work you see him write these types of lyrics he clearly doesn't feel ("why can't we get divorced for christmas?" in NACS from 2019).

I know people compared some other songs to Green Day, but this song starts off sounding like a Green Day song to me (even when it starts up a bit after the acoustic intro (which really (and I mean REALLY) felt Green Day to me)), but I also hear a bit of Sum 41 (and MXPX) in this track as well.

Also that bassline... This bass is what help make me fall in love with blink (from early blink days to Enema (don't really remember hearing Mark playing bass like that from TOYPAJ onward (in recent years), but I could be wrong)) such a blink sounding bassline and I love it.

[Paparazzi Magnet]

Such a strong sound on Mark’s part

[Jan Mortensen]

It is poppy I guess but it’s what Mark likes. And he actually felt genuine about it on this song.

like really good Mark song.
