Same, his first line sounds so awkward to me and like an entirely different song. I dig it overall though
I agree with you, and I feel like a majority of California seemed to fall into a Mark-verse/Matt-verse template. It seemed forced at times, and as they write together more, I'm hoping to see more Matt-only or Mark-only songs and be written more naturally.
Left Alone is a mostly Matt song, like 80% Matt, 20 Mark, and it rules. I think that track displays what Matt can do in a blink-182 context
This song sounds so generic and boring, which is disappointing to me. I was hoping that this "new album" would be better, but (for me) it seems to be just as bad (if not worse). I'll still check out the rest of this "new album" but expectation at this point are low =/
I like the song but it's simply a collection of every cliche they can pull off. Uncreative, though it's at least catchy.
