2point5 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Also, Dance With Me is an S tier Blink song. It’s fucking majestic and everything I’ve wanted from them for 20 years. 2 Quote
Ghost Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Well, I'm liking Cut Me Off more than See You, pretty interesting! Reminds me to My Chemical Romance. But I don't know if it's the files we have or if Travis is just abusing of distortion on voices, man. Quote
thecurseofchris Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Just listened to these songs again, and while I agree that they're better as bonus tracks when compared to the rest of the album, I still think they're great individually! Quote
Coightstradamus Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 um so did Mark and Tom have nothing to do with the writing of these songs? 1 2 Quote

Would make sense for Cut Me Off (a lot of people have commented that it doesn’t sound like a blink song), but surprised to see that on See You, given the obvious AVA comparisons. Definitely see why they were left off the record then! 2 Quote
Jan Mortensen Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 They sound like it, so literally just thrown in by label to make some extra buck. Not offended. Makes sense. Current times we in. Actually kind of glad they didn't write those, they sound janky for Tom/Mark writing. 2 Quote

That's such bullshit lol. Completely made up. But even so, clearly recorded and intended to be released as blink-182 songs written pretty much completely by other people. You had a pretty big problem with that during Skiba times but now not offended? Just the times we're in apparently. Interesting. Almost as if it's actually just okay when Tom does it. hmmm ? 1 Quote

No, I'd be triggered if they were on the album as is. The songs aren't even finished. Doesn't take a beethoven/bach fan to notice that. They were 1,000% an album push strategy. Sure, if they wanted them on the album they may have put more time in to finish them and touch them up. My ears tell me they stopped working on them about 3/4 way through. Ironically the two songs left off don't have Tom/Mark writing credits, just a pure coincidence.. hmm. Aussie logic. 1 Quote
Lemmingslikelips Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Yeah, could be why they left them off the album tbh, probably wanted to have all songs where all 3 of them had writing credits. Cool to have them as fun bonus songs though 1 Quote

Songs 17 and 18 followed by Childhood on Apple Music/Spotify so not even bonus songs at the end. Do you not consider Even if She Falls and Fighting the Gravity to be on Neighbourhoods? 36 minutes ago, Proctologist Jan said: The songs aren't even finished.

This is again stuff you've completely made up lol. They are definitely finished. Just cause you don't like a part doesn't mean its unfinished lol. They aren't demos. Mixed and mastered just like the rest of the album. They were released after to bump up sales for sure but not originally recorded for that purpose. They were recorded and intended to be on the album. Travis even tweeted about Cut Me Off back in January. So yeah. 100% recorded and intended to be on the album. 36 minutes ago, Proctologist Jan said: Ironically the two songs left off don't have Tom/Mark writing credits, just a pure coincidence.. hmm. Aussie logic. Were they dropped because they weren't written by Mark or Tom or just because there were better songs that flowed better together? That super blurry track list Travis posted ages ago has 21 song names on it. Just as much of a chance that when sequencing and putting together the track list they thought these 2 brought the album down and didn't fit so they dropped them. Nevertheless recorded and released as blink-182 songs with neither Mark or Tom having any writing credits and thats just fine all good nowadays ? 1 1 Quote

Lemmingslikelips Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 I suppose it could be an error, but either way I’m not too bothered, they’re just bonus tracks at the end of the day, I enjoy them for what they are 1 Quote
