For me, it’s: AP3, DWM, Terrified, Turpentine, Otherside, and I’m out, peace!!! ✌🏼 I was trying to be as picky as possible - as in early blink - Neighborhoods/DED good songs feels/level of quality. I do love Otherside as well but the drums are fucking ass. That wasn't the case on prior releases. We can meet in the middle and throw in Otherside and bolt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clutter the album, add more generic fluff, making the prior generic/filler fluff less forgiving. Same thing happened with California - "Oh, This AGAIN?" I'm not as la la land as you guys are about where this new music = bEtTeR than none! Happy for ya'll but I much rather have quality than quantity for me. Maybe it's a little thing to you, but also in order to listen to this album, and what everyone perceives it as, I have to open up Spotify/whatever streaming service, and find 28 songs or whatever on this album, or have to swift through and play the original and just pretend it doesn't exist. But it does. That's the problem. There's no probably more mediocre/bad blink songs than quality timeless classics. I never thought I'd see that day. Like I said, give me California & OMT only and burn the rest of the discography in between it all/bonus tracks. If that's not possible, then give me Anthem 3, Turpentine, Terrified, maybe throw in another OMT or Cali song and free me from this factory prison. I’m with ya pal. Never thought I’d see the day you would make sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never listened to Cut You Off, not sure why...just haven't. Every week at golf Ghent hums it/mentions how amazing it is, I have no idea. It existing doesn't change anything about OMT and never will. These two new songs are not super great, they feel unfinished, lyrics bottom tier. But saying they ruin the complete album is just dumb. Does Rise of Skywalker being not super great make the original trilogy shitty? Does Aliens VS Predator make Alien bad? Does the Hobbitt trilogy being awful make the LOTR trilogy bad? Such a weird thing to let it change your opinion so wildly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a weird thing to let it change your opinion so wildly. I don’t think he’s saying it ruins the album, it just adds clutter. Doesn’t really add anything of value. I agree. I’m not mad at all that the songs exist or that they choose to record them. Blink has enough good material for me to listen to at any given time. I just don’t see what these songs bring to the table, I doubt I’ll ever revisit them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put out a couple of mediocre songs and now OMT isn't great and he picked only like 5 songs off of it to keep. that's a WILD pendulum swing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to make fun of him for how he was proclaiming OMT (song) and MTYK were epic when they first came out and now they’re off of his list entirely. But people can change their opinions and he was excited for the new songs at the time. I stand by Jan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to get random 5 paragraph posts about how life changing OMT was. Middle of the night, drunk, pining for an ex lover type posts about how that album was the best thing since sliced bread. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Had this song came out instead of Edging as the first track everyone would have loved it. It's objectively good as a modern blink song. I actually like it more than Edging, by quite a bit. Blink fans are weird af. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for providing a PERFECT example and rounding out my argument to be damn near fact now. When they start talking about Midichlorians being the science behind The Force, or when Emporer Palpatine comes back 'just cuzz 😎' it hinders the whole saga. When Neo can start flying like superman's daddy and the Architect starts spitting utter nonsense about the mythology it ruins the Matrix movies. JUST LIKE HOW MORE GENERIC SONGS, LYRICS, PARTS SATURATES THE ORIGINAL BY ADDING MORE OF IT ON. No, it doesn't ruin the initial experience, but it takes a dump on it for repeat visits. The Hobbit movies have a reason for being bad, they changed directors midway through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Jan less than a month ago talking about YDKWYG : On 8/7/2024 at 1:28 AM, Moldy Krampus Juice said: The lyrics are meaningful and real, Tom and Mark compliment eachother perfectly. Tom's love letter to Mark only second to OMT (in terms of impact). I just feel like Tom is at his best in this chorus, like not holding back one iota. We've already gotten 'used' to him being back or from the earlier song releases, or just Anthem 3 was bigger/better, where if we heard the YDKWYG chorus from him any other time in the past 10 years prior we'd lose our marbles. I think all this evidence states that your opinion is wrong if you don't like this song if not love it. "You can write my Epiloguueee" is an all timer Mark line too. Special attention to “..your opinion is wrong if you don’t like this song if not love it.” Jan today about YDKWYG: 1 hour ago, Moldy Krampus Juice said: I'm taking Anthem 3, Turpentine, Terrified from the California-OMT eras and I'm out. Everything else has been mid to awful. I get songs like DWM, MTYK, Bored to Death are all fine and such, but with all the songs we have now they get lost. Those are the only tracks I hold onto dearly and couldn't live without at the moment. “Mid to awful” doesn’t even make the cut of songs that are “fine and such” The sudden negativity is so fake and manufactured it would make Feldy jealous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom is tripping over his words half the song and sounds like AvA. Only good line is "wings are clipped" and the guitar riff is sweet. Edging had more to say. Yes it would have been cool first song released, but it wasn't, it was #28 or whatever we're on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I still love YDKWYG, but it's been cluttered by the nonsense of bonus songs now released and more to come. It'd be next in line, just doesn't hold the same weight in quality as A3, Turpentine, Terrified. Gotta draw the line somewhere! I know ya'll will take anything these days, like zero standards. I can't get on board with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Fun is clearly a half-baked idea, definitely had potential if they cared about making timeless songs these days instead of churning. Look, I'm not mad you guys like it, It'd be super depressing if everyone hated this timeline. Remember Nine days? Shit was not much fun around here.
