One more time deluxe thread

[Jan Mortensen]

The You Don't Know What You've Got complaints are weird.  It's so intentionally repetitive to drive the point accross, the name of the song is literally that.  The fluctuations in the phrase are what make it.   I don't believe it's this lazy chorus at all, it's an artistic choice and a good one.  

a break from the formula

Plus it sounds very personal from both of them, Mark's lyrics obviously, and Tom belting his feelings that came from Mark's cancer scare

[Jan Mortensen]

'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, we will never let them divide us"

is the best line from the "Part 2" though.  

The production being better makes such a big difference, it's a lot easier to listen to on repeat.  OMT is a gem, but I think this bodes better moving forward.  I could do songs like this till the end and be pretty damn enthused.

I don't mind it much at all, I think the song rules overall and it's obviously one of their deepest darkest songs ever.

These songs are the closest to the continuation of DED we could have gotten?  But with more modern/processed production.

Why the fuck is All In My Head such a grower.  I hated this song first release, it fits nicely with the others now. 

Intro kind of annoys me still (zzommgg guitar explosion) but the rest of the song is fucking solid.  The verses ride like an older blink song. 

"I gotta sickening feeling! We do this night after night but now I start to doubt it" is such a good delivery by Mark. 

We’re drawing ever closer to Jan deciding Take Me In is an underrated classic and we’re all fools for not seeing it like he does.

Probably better for your image to have a solo opinion than share one with Jan tbh.

Seems to be a lot of love for One Night Stand online. A lot of these tracks are growers for sure. Take Me In is the weakest by far though.

On the topic of YDKWYG...

That second verse of YDKWYG still absolutely hits like fucking bricks. 

Beautiful writing by Mark.

Just catching up here real quick:

1. Dance With Me fucking rocks
2. YDKWYG is great, but I agree the chorus is repetitive, and literally switching one different line in would have pulled it all together better.
   1. Ex) You don't know what you got/You don't know what you got/You don't know what you got til it's almost gone
      You don't know what you got/I wanna sail on a yacht/You don't know what you got til it's over
   2. (obviously not that actual line but something different right there haha)
3. I have noooo idea how One Night Stand sounds like AVA?
4. Olivia Rodrigo fucking rocks

Seems like something Bob Dylan would write

Take Me In is playing constantly in my yead nowadays.

If I Never Left You Is totally stuck in my head: love the rhytm, the change of pace at the 3rd verse, the syncopated guitar solo at the end and the chimes' outro.

Lyrics are simple but very relatable (and a bit painful).

I love it so much. It’s my easy fav. Can’t go back, every other weekend and everyone everywhere very close.

It’s great, I don’t like the sound of the guitar in the final chorus though

I remember showing WWW to people that didn't like blink in like 2003 and couldn't believe it was not a hit.

[Tenks]

WWW not being on Spotify is a warcrime.

Idk exactly what's going on at the end of One More Time harmonies, but it sounds like vintage pure +44 Mark in one of them in the backdrop.  Sounds awesome.   Someone lossless isolate that shit or whatever you cool kids do nowadays.

I wish No Fun didn't have that intro, repeat listens it get annoying.
