I'm more hyped for this record than ever. I can't believe there's still 12 blink songs that I have no idea what they sound like.
It kinda feels like what I dislike about the current crop of pop-punk bands. Kinda just like paint-by-numbers, trying to recreate the classic fast pop-punk, hard for me to put into words tbh
Other people are doing literally the same thing ... making statements. It's kinda obvious they're all opinion based. I don't see the words "this is fact" in anyone's posts ...
I feel the same way after my first play through of this album. I just posted somewhere else that it feels like the latest stuff from bands like NFG and Good Charlotte. An attempt to recapture what made everyone love them but they're just not those people anymore so it just falls flat. Can't see me returning to it any time soon, at least there's an absolute tonne of great new music recently.
After the first listen - the alum is really great! Need to listen more and more...to hear all the details. Blink are back!!!
I definitely get the same vibe from the latest NFG album as I have from the three songs I heard off this album. Definitely a deliberate attempt to recapture youth and a previous sound yep
I didn't dislike it... but I have little to no desire to return back to it. I've never had any sort of emotional connection with Blink, though.
Posted in the other thread when I meant to post here. Got a bunch of notifications at once after it and was confused cause there wasn't that many new posts here hahahaha
Finally starting this after the longest day at work ever. First song has a shit eating grin on my face.
