romanjsmith (December 10, 2012)

dino riki..........FUCK that game was impossible! thanks for the reminder! what a classic

dinoRiki (December 10, 2012)

Well... it's not what I wanted, but oh well. Maybe the rest of the album will be better.

chrisss (December 10, 2012)

Hey man, you're an all-star, etc.

RyanUpstrokes (December 10, 2012)

Dude... that's exactly what this sounds like... Almost makes me wanna keep listening... Almost

IAmJetBlack (December 11, 2012)

Thank you. I couldn't put my finger on it.

Amoeba (December 10, 2012)

It just gets worse...

hbwlons2 (December 11, 2012)

ya, like its on purpose almost..

porksoda (December 10, 2012)

Are they adverse to writing a catchy, up-beat pop song like they used to?

puddboy (December 10, 2012)

Tom's voice makes me violently ill. The drum beat is cool, reminds me of listening to the alternative radio station back in 1997.

hey_ska (December 10, 2012)

They had that one good Christmas years back, that is a good song.

jeffw (December 10, 2012)

Not saying much, but this is better than 90% of the stuff on Neighborhoods.

jeffw (December 10, 2012)

You know, after a second listen I like it.

overdefined (December 10, 2012)

Wow, sounds so much like Dude Ranch! Wasn't expecting that.

chrisss (December 10, 2012)

I'm tasting more of a Germs-ian bouquet, with a hint of Morris-era Black Flag.

hayman (December 10, 2012)

Hahaha

hbwlons2 (December 10, 2012)

Really? Wasnt gonna listen but ur comment...now i have to..

phillipick (December 10, 2012)

Never underestimate the sarcastic nature of the org

hbwlons2 (December 10, 2012)

yup

Yinzer (December 10, 2012)

I think it sound good.

Thedescent (December 10, 2012)

It's the greatest Smash mouth cover I've ever heard!

chri5topher (December 11, 2012)

hahaha...EXACTLY what I was thinking!

77jordan (December 18, 2012)

hahah me too! I started singing all-star after I was done listening!

ksupilot (December 10, 2012)

I like it. I know it's going to be hated by most on here since it's Blink, but I like it much more than Neighborhoods if the rest of album is like this.

dinoRiki (December 10, 2012)

I second that.

LatchKeyKid (December 11, 2012)

It's not just cuz it's blink that people don't like it, Toms singing is really bad and it makes me embarrassed for him. I hate that feeling of being embarrassed for someone else I actually think its worse than being embarrassed yourself. But anyway long story short people aren't liking it because is just isn't very good not because of who made it. I think there are far more people who actually wish it was good than there are people who just hate blink 182.

Renry_Hollins (December 10, 2012)

That beginning guitar riff sounds like "Dust in the Wind".

warbrain (December 10, 2012)

awful but catchy....drum beat and guitars remind of wheatus. i liked wheatus.

FelixT (December 10, 2012)

What kills me is that I used to think Tom had an awesome punk voice before their self-titled. Now I just don't know what to believe anymore.

chrisss (December 10, 2012)

Don't worry about it.

hayman (December 10, 2012)

djamberj (December 10, 2012)

It sounds like Smash Mouth covering Owl City.

Imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 11, 2012)

Yes! It's exactly the Smash Mouth vocal melody, but he made the end more uninteresting.

bouncingcoles (December 10, 2012)

I aint the sharpest tool in the shed.

jacknife737 (December 10, 2012)

It at least doesn't sound like they were trying to channel Angels and Airwaves.

ak3punk (December 10, 2012)

Not the worst song I've ever heard, but my expectations for this were a lot higher. After hearing this I don't think I'll buy it, download it for free maybe.

mclz (December 10, 2012)

I just vomitted.

porphyriax (December 10, 2012)

I like it...It has the feeling of the S/T which is my favorite album of theirs - I just wish it wasn't so electronic.

bloblaw (December 10, 2012)

If they didn't make this so clean it'd almost sound like a boxcar racers song, which would've been a way better direction for the band than breaking up only to reunite to make make millions off of pop smut. So yeah, this songs alright even though the beginning is a smash mouth song.

mikexdude (December 11, 2012)

Autotune is a hell of a drug.

whiskyboys (December 11, 2012)

This song's great though. Good Riddance - Boxing Day www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgbN1UXtH-w&sns=tw

jwinston (December 11, 2012)

haha, that's what I was thinking

timethief (December 11, 2012)

oi.....

PopPunkIsNotDead (December 11, 2012)

I can completely understand how even a big blink fan won't like this track. It is different from anything off Neighborhoods, let alone anything they've done in the past (they used a folk guitar Christ's sake). To toss in my own opinion though, I think it is a good track and well written. Like always your opinion on Tom's voice will depend if you like the "whiney" style.

Seth73 (December 18, 2012)

Tom's voice was acceptable up through Enema for me, still is too.... don't know what happened after that. From TOYPAJ on, every time he starts singing on the newer stuff I cringe. The only songs I can even stand off TOYPAJ are the one's Mark sings.

donovanjames (December 11, 2012)

Tasty! Wasn't expecting a good song.

axl09 (December 11, 2012)

Sounds like Really poppy Smashmouth. A little over dont, but I like it more then the last album. And i liked the last album a little bit.

axl09 (December 11, 2012)

*over done

dordon (December 11, 2012)

This chick has the previews for the EP on her tumblr page... and they're really, really good. I'd say a mix of s/t and TOYPAJ

hbwlons2 (December 11, 2012)

thats what they always say

uptownsleepsolution (December 12, 2012)

Yeah, not bad at all. This time, no bullshit, can actually hear both of those records in here. I dig it. I also thought Neighborhoods was pretty decent, so...

xterdusx (December 13, 2012)

Wow im actaully really impressed. Im now pretty excited for a new album. Way better than Neighborhoods. Still liked it though

chazmoe (December 13, 2012)

Well, I like it. I guess I'm not punk for that.
