So was Cut Me Off. but the songs actually hold a bit of weight, I can get on board with Tom’s raunchy humor shit he’s been on for a bit. It’s kind of funny with the youth photos of them in the backdrop. Not as bad as expecting. I like them enough, but I can’t pretend I’m gonna go back and listen to No Fun outside the rare occasion. Tom sounds like he’s struggling a bit too much on the verses too. All In My Head I’ll probably visit every so often. Decent bonus tracks is how I see them. Travis is an abomination though. They will never reach new heights again until they drop him from the equation. Production is still fucking cheap, ass (replace horrible volume levels on drums with abrupt stops and lazy copy paste chorus transitions) and boring lazy drums. Production is fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotlighting a line without any context and comparing it to something else entirely is a dumb argument. Use a line from a more serious song on the album and the lines would match up just fine. Dance With Me doesn’t match lyrically to something like Letters to God … doesn’t mean it’s a bad song or poorly written. The context is completely different. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your brain doesn't move fast enough to follow, but noise doesn't just jump from one section to the other abruptly. It's poor editing. Like really bad for any band. It's mind boggling, but also admittingly part of their charm since NH, is that they have such blatant errors like that for a multi-million dollar band. I hated this in Cut Me Off too, when Travis thought he was sly or doing something cool. It immediately takes you out of the song feeling 'alive' at all and not just a computer/electronic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Unfortunately I will probably never care to listen to either of these ever again, but fortunately the actual One More Time album and the fact that they even reunited at all are still mindblowing to me. So I'm not too bothered if some b-sides are a swing and a miss. I'm still stoked to hear Can't Go Back since I already know that song is awesome AND it's actually new so it (hopefully) gives more of a signal to where they're headed in the future. Because yeah these two... well I can easily see why they weren't on the actual album. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have to occasionally wipe a small amount of dribble off your keyboard but even then it shouldn't take 3 phone calls to write a small sentence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a board that lost its shit over "Kings of the Weekend" I don't see how you can accept cum stains on the couch, watching porn, and rich girl party lyrics lol Just brutal haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I just use the speech to text whenever I try to text/type on a phone... It's a lot easier for me since I didn't really grow up with a phone (I didn't get a proper mobile phone until I graduated high school and was first starting college) so I'm like very slow with manually typing on a phone if I'm not using speech to text. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
