Turpentine Track Disussion

[Jan Mortensen]

I haven't been moved this much by a song since like Self Titled album.

I'm trying to remove recency bias, but it really just hits harder given the meaning of this album on top of it (vs like When I was Young, another banger, that is just sort of 'heres a song').  I mean, Secret Crowds. Cynical got me first time.  Love Ghosts, Natives, Kaleidescope.

This song is so pure & massive though.  It's epic, but also funny, also beautiful.  Knowing they're "together" on it again as well.  Shit.  Tom wasn't lying about wanting to have blink go dominate again.

This song has my favorite bridge so far, I think, I'm still on the first listen lol. It was just so fucking cool to hear Mark sing over Travis' drums. Really reminiscent of their live shows from the Enema-Untitled era for me lol

[boxelder]

this is a blink song that could've come from any era, the type of tune they were born to write, the one that occurs when the three are completely in sync with each other.

[Monkey Chips]

I view this song in a similar vein as "Childhood" but more energetic and something fun I could come back to listen to (and not just in the context of the full album). Also I know people may not see it the same way I do, but I can't help seeing it in a big epic rock sound similar to how Tom did Euphoria in AvA.

A few key moments was the outro which was amusing where it sounds like an outtake they included and the "blah blah blah..." part in the song was also fun.

This one played with my emotions! Love it! Awesome chorus!

[fran.182]

This song is the proof blink can be fun and creative/not shallow at the same time. Something sad as fuck mixed with some of the most absurd lyrics of their career.

It truly is a frankenstein of a song. Amazing.

[NotNow]

This song is amazingly creative. Tom at his best serious and playful all in one…

[Coightstradamus]

Didn’t hit me hard first listen, definitely grew on the second. Still not one of my favourites but will see what time does.

I think this is what is that isn’t working for me as much as it is for others. I don’t hate it at all, far from it, but I get feels it’s e songs mixed together at times.

it's funny because we always used to call Neighbourhoods a Frankensteined album haha this album isn't Frankensteined though, it feels so fresh and organic.

It’s the most grass fed organic album I’ve heard in a long time.

I’m so glad I went first listen outside. 2nd listen was actually hampered cause dog decided to be a cunt during the whole thing. Destroyed a beanie of mine. Anyway I’m sure all subsequent listens will be amazing.

My dog always knows when I’m trying to focus on something and fucks shit up.  They hate productivity not including them.
