My friend who’s a giant post malone fan said the same thing about IRWIHY. Made me like the song more lol.
Better than California without a doubt, Matt's voice feels integrated much better on this one. No Heart is my favorite song but I cant help but wonder if its because the way the guitar kicks in reminds me of STFTK
My wife works at a store post goes into all the time. She says he’s ridiculously nice. That got us listening to his music which we weren’t familiar with. Dude’s got the gift. Would love for him and blink to collaborate
Darkside is what got me excited for the album. Even on the first listen, the first 10 or so seconds of it you could tell they were finally letting Matt Skiba loose.
I enjoy the second half of the album way more than the first. Really love everything from IRWIHY on. Overall, definitely like this better than California - and I enjoyed California.
BIOMY was an effective first single to let everyone know this wasn’t just going to be California Pt 2 (or would that be 3 counting deluxe?).
I think all of the singles work way better in context, but Darkside, BIOMY, and GD are all jams. Happy Days finally clicked with me today, and Heaven was my least favorite but I can’t get it out of my head.
I think the singles were good choices. It’s been discussed before that the album is darker/more skiba-influences than expected. Only makes sense that more traditional/accessible blink songs like HD and DS were singles. Agreed with the above that BIOMY showed the album would still have variety.
