One more time deluxe thread

One Night Stand is strange and not typical. I'm diggin' the chorus A LOT. Sounds like a Neighborhoods song, but finished properly with them all toghether and not frankensteined via e-mail. I love it sounds modern in a good way but still blink.

Can't Go Back is everything I expected after hearing the live performances. It's haunting and atmospheric. I love it. The live version sounds even more ethereal.

Everyone Everywhere is weird in a good sense. They're hinting some different terrain here, IMO. Again, it sounds as a Neighborhoods songs, but finished with sense.

I'm having Dogs Eating Dogs EP vibes here with this new songs. Anyone else? Is not about the sound or production. Is more about the feel of it all. The most important thing is that they are sounding fresh and not forced at all. Good signal.

I think it's an interesting and pretty cool song so I don't mean to rain on any parades, but (and I actually mean this as some kind of compliment) it would be better as a Coldplay song or something. It's not as off the Blink map as IRWIHY, but the melodies/style of singing sound like a song written for a whole different band with a whole different set of skills haha

It’s disappointing to me because I love the rest of the song so much, but the bridge is so bad I’d be embarrassed to be a dj and put that song on in front of my friends.

Everyone Everywhere feels like a jam session that made it to a recording session. I'm not the biggest fan, but I like the final chorus where everything comes together.

Every Other Weekend feels like a straightforward pop-punk song. Not a bad thing!

Yeah I hear you, it feels "inbetween" albums/eras in the same was as DED, like they're dipping their toe into some things or stretching out some different muscles to see where they want to go next. Only this time we'll actually get to find out where they go next! (🤞)

One Night Stand is okay. Feels like I've heard this chorus before. Not very strong or catchy.

If You Never Left has nice verses. Again not too impressed by the chorus. This is one with additional songwriters so 🤷‍♂️

 

A lot of growers I'm sure.

We haven't had consecutive album releases from the main lineup since before the original breakup. They always fell apart after the EP/ small release bump. Super curious on what the next full album will be like.

Always? That’s literally happened one time

After a second listen I can say for sure that I love the new songs - my first impression is that they all have a mellow, retro sound, but at the same time it's just feel good music. It's great when new blink songs get to be a small part of our day and uplift our mood. 

Best song: If You Never Left

No Fun: The breaks in the guitars in the chorus did not fit the song imo. 4/10

All In My Head: I like the main riff. Grew towards the last chorus. 5/10

Can’t Go Back: Don’t go anywhere and does not have a catchy enough melody (like Far Too Young To Die by Panic At The Disco) for this type of song. 3/10

Every Other Weekend: Best chorus yet, nothing stands out though. 4/10

Everyone Everywhere: My least favorite so far, the chorus feels like a pre-chorus and kept me waiting for something coming after it. The last chorus was better with power beneath it and a different chord structure, which made it rise to a 3 instead of a 2. 3/10

If You Never Left: I like this one, the best one yet for me. 7/10

One Night Stand: Least favorite so far.1/10

Take Me In: My favourite. They end on a high note. Both Mark and Tom sound amazing in it. 10/10

In the end, Take Me In, If You Never Left, and maybe All In My Head will probably be the only ones that will make it into my playlist. All in all means three new songs for my playlist which is a win for me anyway so that means that I’m happy with this release.

That's crazy, the guitar breaks in NO FUN chorus make the song to me.

 

Take Me In has really grown on me, the chorus is really powerful. Even the bridge isn't as bad though Mark should've done another take or something.

I don’t know it was just weird to me, this was all my first impressions after one listen so it may change when I listen again.
