Gotta find something to complain about. You can't honestly say any songs from the California era are good. It's 40 year old men singing about being "Kings of the Weekend" and writing songs like "Sober" and "She's Out of Her Mind." Furthermore, the lyrics to Parking Lot make no fucking sense. All the songs are generic garbage that are incredibly predictable and have childishly writen lyrics. John Feldman's influence on them is destorying the band.

"It's 40 year old men singing about being "Kings of the Weekend" and writing songs like "Sober" and "She's Out of Her Mind."" That's funny, you pick two rather normal songs instead of complaining about two 40 year olds singining about building a pool to see naked dudes or saying that they can't get a girl more pregnant. Who reads into Blink lyrics so closely like it's Bob Dylan or some other master song writer? Plus don't mention songs like Misery, Cynical and San Diego when they all contain some rather serious lyrical context. Some stuff is serious and some isn't, that's not new for Blink. "Furthermore, the lyrics to Parking Lot make no fucking sense. " Do they need to make sense? The drum work on Parking Lot kicks ass and I think Skiba's vocals rocked that song. "All the songs are generic garbage that are incredibly predictable and have childishly writen lyrics." I'll refer you back to Misery, San Diego, 6/8, Los Angeles, Cynical and Bored to Death. I'd love to know what makes any song on California (other than the joke songs) "childish". "John Feldman's influence on them is destorying the band." That I don't disagree with. If John just let Mark, Travis and Matt do their thing we would've probably had a much different album but Feldy produced all the deluxe songs as well and so far it's got possibly the best stuff from California. fuckinandsuckinandtouchin and ChasHawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Don't forget about the song writers that were brought in too. IIRC Mark said in an interview they had some songs that were scrapped after they linked up with John that were written before he arrived.

akanorman Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This might be a long shot, but if anyone has a tour exclusive copy of California, I am from Australia and in desperate need of one. I am in LA for the next 3 weeks with a friend, so could just get posted to LA to save hassle. Also all copies of Deluxe Edition of California are sold out on the Blink182 Website now for those interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yellow and Blue deluxe are still available on their own, just checked. Likely very close to selling out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Misery, parking lot, and 6/8 are some of the best songs since the reunion. Better than everything from Dogs or neighborhoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing was right financially, but then Amazon had a listing for $20 less so I was gonna go with that. If I end up with a free colored pop-up edition, I'll be hyped. It's not like blink is gonna bleed out over $50. I spent close to that on a t-shirt when I saw them last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
