I'm into Turn This Off and think it's funny...but then this hits: When I first took you out for sushi on a date You took me home, I sadly pumped away On your stomach, face or ass It's your fault I came fast I don't think that he's built up enough credit to do the couch cum lyrics like this after he's been such a prude over the last several years. He interrupted and got pissed when Tom went crazy on stage during reunion, he started censoring blink songs live, he censored his Discord to the point of banning "fuck." He doesn't have the capital with me to be dropping these lines right now. It's not a me problem! It's also just like... not funny? Blink's old gross-out sex stuff was funny because it was absolutely fucking absurd, like fucking each other's moms, fucking their own grandpa, putting peanut butter on one's weiner to try to get a dog to lick it off, or even just turning "shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat" into a delightful little ditty. "Built This Pool" worked because it was right in line with being totally off the wall haha. Cum on a couch, cumming on a stomach face or ass, can't get you more pregnant, it's just... meh. Similarly to some of the music over the past 10 years, it sounds like someone else trying to sound like Blink and not getting it right. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this is a him only problem if you don’t like it, I think it’s all of them at this point with probably Tom the least. But yea I don’t think just removing one person is going to result in some heralding back to remaking untitleds production style and approach to songwriting / lyrics and what blink should be. I'm talking Dude Ranch bud. But yeah, I'm not saying Travis is 'at fault' or it's not also Mark & Tom being complacent/uninspired in ways. I'm just saying that would be a cataclysmic change that would bring them back to have to do something different and original again. I love Travis, blink would not be the same without him from Enema - Self Titled (the glory days for them), or NH obviously. But it's just sort of run its course imo. There is nothing exciting about Travis in blink anymore. It's getting a bit saturated. How many 'super jammy indulgent' drums can you have. It is on Travis though for being a bit of a one trick pony now and being so arrogant to have to be their friggin producer now as well.

Although blink was a bro band and said gross absurd shit, they were never a "horn dog" band. Which they've started to dabble in at age 50? It makes no sense. There are hardly any old blink songs about thirsting for chicks or fucking, just quick references like "I wanna take off your clothes" My criticism of this started with I Can't Get You More Pregnant. I want them to be funny, inappropriate etc, but this ain't it. It's just awkward. Like I am a horn dog, but I don't need grandpa singing to me about it lmao 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where this stems from for Mark? My only saving grace is that he thinks this is what high school kids think is cool this day which makes me laugh. Part of the allure for blink that was behind all the sort of absurdity and over the top lyrics & humor was that they seemed like pretty good/relatable guys deep down, that aren't worldwide 'players' or w.e and settled down pretty early with the first girl they liked type of thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of their lyrics are autobiographical. Most of them aren’t. Don’t take them at face value. I’m sorry that I must tell you this, and it’s going to shock you: Mark and Tom didn’t actually fuck a dog. Take a little time to let that information seep in.

Scott. Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Ok just listened to both. All in my head is great imo. That chorus is killer. It does transition from verse into chorus kinda weird but after a few listens you’ll get used to that. No fun is fucking weird no? That intro is ridiculous, it’s kinda cool but it’s so similar to AAR that I can’t get past it. The riff completely saves the song imo. Riff is great. Will take time to get used to I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
