    For some reason "Los Angeles" reminds me a lot of Fall Out Boy.

    Glad "Hey I'm Sorry" didn't make the cut, easily would have been one of the weakest on the album

    I have to officially tap out of the band thread now, just absolutely exhausted with all the Tom talk
     
  6. I'm really glad this album doesn't suck, otherwise buying that signed vinyl/drumhead bundle would've bummed me out. I've only listened to the album a few times, but I'm digging it. Bored to Death and Los Angeles are my early favorites.

    I looked at the post count on the band thread and decided I'm not even gonna step in ha.

    FUCKIN SAVAGES IN THAT FUCKIN BOX Prestigious

    I was bummed at first I didn't get a vinyl for display purposes but seems quite a few have been received damaged so I'm quite happy with the signed cd haha. Well worth it for me as well.
     
  8. Finally gave it a listen and it's pretty good, but I found myself getting bored halfway through some of the songs.
     
  9. Damn, I must have lucked out then.
     
  10. Periodically checked in for months and had to unsub about a week ago. Thread is actually the worst.

    it's oddly aggressive too, Blink should be about happiness and sunshine, just like Cali

    Don't know who saw it coming, but it looks like California just broke Drake's #1 streak

    Just a day or two ago the billboard looked like was just a little over 100k. It's gone up quite a bit in a few days.

    Said I'm okay, but I know how to lie.

    The album was great at first listen, so I had concerns about the lasting value.
    Now, I'm still listening the fuck out of this. Always starting with "She's Out Of Her Mind".
    If you liked Enema or Take Off, I don't get that you don't like this record.

    Couldn't agree more with the last sentiment.

    But it sounds nothing like those albums as a whole. Not nearly as exciting as those were


    Or rather, it's an extremely diluted and watered down version of a past sound they have no business chasing at this stage
