One more time deluxe thread

Can someone please explain to me why they like Take Me In? I seriously can’t wrap my head around it.  What am I missing?  I hear no blink in it. Just canned/sampled instruments and phony cheesy operatic singing that should never exist.

Oh, 100% Mark didn’t either, but as you mentioned, he’s less in your face about it. Tom makes that immaturity his entire public persona, whereas Mark sometimes makes an effort to be the adult in the room; he always felt the more mature of the two, despite being a goofball himself. Again though, I have some inherent bias, so I can’t be totally objective here. 😂

I think it’s more Mark & Skiba is a different vibe.

I like that it's so different from what they've done before in a good way. Nice melody.

A good song is a song that is good for the listener. Idk?

The riff in EE is pure Box Car, the verses are AVA, the bridge is Untitled. Riff is fucking killer, I’m glad Tom is writing cool riffs again. I love the No Fun riff too. 
 

Pretty obviously Can’t Go Back is one of the recent songs they wrote if it’s Marks fave, they wouldn’t leave that off OMT

It sounds just like See You and Childhood had a baby.  But at least Childhood had some purpose behind it.  Just not a fan of it sorry man.

I don't like Childhood much though, I guess.

Difference in taste, that's all.

Childhood is ass. TMI is what it wished it could be.

Agreed. Take Me In just feels like a classic slow blink song to go with the best of them: Adam's Song, STFTK, What Went Wrong?, I Miss You, I'm Lost Without You, and One More Time. To me it feels right at home alongside those beautiful songs.

Take Me In shits on Childhood. Especially as a closer. It works so well as a closer.

[Walrus]

I like childhood. My biggest gripe with the song is the chorus sounds so weirdly mixed it makes it hard to listen to.

I don't hate Childhood, but it is a weak-ass closer. Take Me In though really is a wonderful closer.

No way. That outro on childhood holds good memories for me now. It’s nostalgic already.

I still like Childhood don't get me wrong, just think Take Me In works way better to end the album on.

Out of all the pages and posts in this thread.  This one managed to piss me off the most.  I hate to sound like Diddy, but they aren’t even playing the guitar on this song.
