This is solid. So far I've enjoyed every song better than anything on Neighborhoods, and I actually liked that record.
kind of echoing everyone else's thoughts here, but hearing two voices is a big win. hated how they got muddled together in bored to death.
Even more excited for this album than I thought I'd be. Being from Chicago I've been a fan of Matt for a long, long time, but was still a little apprehensive about him being in Blink. I think any doubts I had are gone.
I liked Bored to Death alright, wish the joke songs didn't exist, and am middling on this one. Really interested in the album still, given how much Mark and blink mean to me I'm positive the album will have some value for me.
"How should we end this one?" "Uh, some whoah-ohs?" "Genius!" Kidding aside, this track is solid as heck.
It's good but I don't love it. Am I the only one not impressed by Skiba so far? Like he's a good singer (and waaaaaaaaay better live than Tom) but his voice is just so similar to Mark's that it kind of ruins the dynamic of having two vocalists to me. He sounds more distinct here than he does on Bored to Death (where I could barely tell it was him) which is nice but I'm still not wowed. It's not bad it's just a little underwhelming.
On Spotify now too. That lyric video is excellent. The energy here has been missing for literally a decade. There's a difference between energy and pace - Neighborhoods had fast songs, but they never churned like this one.
I love the architecture of the song, I can see this being imported AND exported very rapidly. I will forward this to Pennypacker. Lloyld Braun will eat this up.
Now this is what I'm talkin' about!! So much better than "Bored to Death," real energy and you can actually hear Skiba! Looking forward to the album!
In all honesty, I doubt anything on this record will be the best blink song in the world. Love this song and I'm looking forward to this record SO MUCH but they just have too many A+ songs from back in their heyday.
it's ok, but am i crazy for saying it sort of drags even though it's not even 3 minutes long? i almost wish it finished with matt's verse and one more chorus and boom.
