One more time deluxe thread

[Scott.]

If you never left - the weakest for me, I do like when songs start with the chorus, that’s cool. I love the outro, it sounds really pretty but I wish they could have worked that into the intro or something. Love the bridge. Just feels like the chorus is lacking something I dunno 7/10

Mad how everyone's opinions are so different. That's what makes blink special I guess, different songs for different people.

This is just first listen with shit quality audio. It’ll change

So glad we got one more great 80s blink tune with "Every Other Weekend". It's like "Just Like Heaven" melody (specially the bridge) set to "Friday I'm In Love" lyrics.

"One Night Stand" is a banger and I love how specific the lyrics are. Just not so sure on the outro with the overlapping vocals...

Those two and "Can't Go Back" are a step above the rest. Replace "Fell In Love", "Edging" and the two 30 second tracks with these three and the main album would be amazing.

I can't stop playing Every Other Weekend.... what a fun tune. The back half of the song kicks ass. 

Somebody mentioned it earlier, but this could slot in for Fell In Love on OMT easily and be such a nice upgrade.

"Everyone Everywhere" has a great song buried somewhere in it, I just think it was rushed. Seems like a demo.

Finally, "If You Never Left"... I think the Autopilot break-up lyrics kill it for me. Plus, my favorite part (the outro chimes) lasts a few seconds. Bridge is strong, but sounds shoehorned - "All In My Head" and "Everyone Everywhere" had similar issues between some sections...

[Man]

trying to find the other songs but ONS verse sounds like an Alkaline trio song with Mark then the chorus hits with Lifeforms style Tom...meh.

If You Never Left is so good. Really thought the snippet we got was verse chorus bridge, but it's really bridge final chorus outro. Was a nice surprise to hear Tom's verse and then a half time chorus actually works.

blink-182 loves climbing fences confirmed:

"I'm kind of nervous of the consequence, as we climb over the
Neighbor's fence" - Teenage Satellites

"Cut myself on the neighbors' fence
That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in" - Blame It On My Youth

"The tree, the house, we jumped your fence" - One Night Stand

I thought too and I wish that was the case, it would fit better and those magical chimes were wasted...

So I saw on the Chorus forums that 'One Night Stand' used this riff that Tom came up with back in 2017 which is cool:

 

[Man]

Everyone Everywhere...I listened to it once, that's all I needed from it..yikes.

Every Other Weekend - it's ok.  kinda went flat.

If You Never Left - this and Can't Go Back are the best of the songs but a little disappointed.  As others have said, am sad the chimes weren't used in more of the song.  The lyrics in the verses are a bit undercooked in a few areas.

These deluxe songs are all basically Neighborhoods tier.  It's ok though because now they don't need to revisit these anymore for the next album!

^Nah Neighborhoods is way better.

I must be the only one who didn’t think that with the snippet? I had no idea what you guys were talking about a bridge with that.

Poor Coight has gone to bed, as happy as a pig in shit, dreaming happy dreams about blink being back together making great music again, and now he's gonna have to wake up to all you debby downers whining and moaning about the new songs as soon as his back is turned. 

[Ghent]

Where can I listen??

[Jan Mortensen]

I haven’t listened to the fulls yet but it really sounds like OMT is the new California (but better) and Pt 2 is just like the Deluxe (but better), random good songs, bad songs, maybe unfinished ideas

I mean if I was going to bed same time I would have been the same. I really enjoy the new songs. Feel bad I'm not on the same wavelength as everyone else.
