One more time deluxe thread

[Loudernow]

The chorus of One Night Stand is so fucking catchy and the outro is great. This one might become one of my all time favorites. 
 

All in all I really like these new songs and I'll be for sure listening over and over again the next few days. 
 

The fact that everyone has different songs which stand out to them speaks to the diversity of this band. That's what I've always loved about them and the fans...

blink life. For life.

Surely given the vibe of the lyrics and a certain underlying melancholy, if you have recently had your heart broken this music has a certain effect...

Yeahhh hitting a little extra in that department for me unfortunately haha.

I agree with everything you said, the songs have all gotten better with each listen. I love the elements they brought to the table overall, it feels very comfortable and I mean that as a compliment. I think Every Other Weekend, If You Never Left, and One Night Stand are probably the best "classic era" pop punk songs they've done since TOYPAJ. They don't sound forced, they don't sound gimmicky, they bring that melancholy new wave vibe, just solid, solid stuff.

They have matured a lot as songwriters. In this bunch of songs I hear many tempo changes, counterintuitive riffs and out-of-time phrasing that make the listening much less predictable.

And Tom's vocal performance is the best of the last 20 years, and in some ways his "mature" voice is almost more fascinating than that of the classic blink era.

I agree with you 100% but this is a complete 180 on your skiba era views. Back then you criticised the shit out of the band for writing songs about breakups, being young etc cause they’re older now and should write about that.

Prove it.

Tom’s ooooooooo yeah in One Night Stand is hilarious to me, I can’t overlook the awkwardness of it.

They are super catchy/poppy but that aspect of it feeling like they wanted to make it, not forced, etc is so appealing.

It sounds like they also had a conversation in the studio to not just ‘end on chorus’ like they’ve done so routinely past few iterations, and have Travis ramping it up, new parts at the end are so refreshing.

So true, ever since Lifeforms I've noticed Tom's singing has a bit of a playfulness to it when it comes to certain songs which is very nice (I've always been a fan of Tom's voice, but now it's even better because it sounds like he's having fun singing again).

If You Never Left, my god. This is going to be on repeat for a while. 10/10

Haha I love it so much! Reminds me of the Beach Boys.

It’s fucking fantastic. It ticks so many boxes. Very different to the other standout tracks on OMT but so damn near perfect.

[Knapppers]

Can we also take a moment to acknowledge that Can't Go Back lived up to, if not maybe even being better than we had expected? When you hear songs live or demos and love them, they almost never live up to the hype. Can't Go Back blew it out of the water though. 

[Coddled Jan]

Man the fact the 5 I’m loving hold up well right next to my favorites off OMT when mixing them in is a really good sign.  Genuinely surprised.

[Coddled Jan]

Cut Me Off and See You just got even worse though, what a bunch of clunkers wish those got deleted off the Part 2 version

"I see you when I'm closing my eyes" 

For me that part touched something, but never mind... we will come out of this stronger man, I promise💪

So glad I was too busy to check out the leaks. First time going in blind since Neighborhoods (excluding the 2 pre-releases). My first impressions are it’s pretty great and I can’t pick a favorite quite yet.

I've logged in just to respond to you.

I never said you can’t write songs about past situations as if you were back there or ask yourself certain things nowadays. But I can find it odd, right?

You know... today. You left my bed but you really never leave my head. 

I think I like today. See ya, guys.
