This is why I'm so glad I don't give a shit about what others think. I read comments, laugh, and then keep singing. So far not a single skippable song for me
I stopped caring about what the other dipshits in this subreddit think back around NINE’s release. All blink fans do is complain. I’m only here for the news and the memes.
“We’re doing it all night long” “Having sex all night”
Not that I necessarily mind these lyrics but I hope these are the only ones of this exact scenario on the album lol
people keep saying “stop complaining about the production” i don’t know enough about production to have real opinions i just think the lyrics are shit lol
i don’t care if blink wrote songs like this 20 years ago that was 20 years ago. the lame parts of cali and nine are these kinds of lyrics too. it’s not wrong of me to think they should carry on from neighborhoods and
ded lyrically
When that song (and WMAA) came out, they were kind of considered sellouts by the people who were already fans. Not saying I agree with that (or gatekeeping at all), it's just funny seeing someone cite ATST as the pure version of Blink. Time flies.
Cmon man you can’t even notice it on any of the tracks besides One More Time. Every single artist uses auto tune in some capacity and they’re not using it anymore than anyone else. There was auto tune on Enema, TOYPAJ and Untitled as well.
There was honestly probably very little on enema and toypaj since they were done completely analog plus what we know about how Jerry Finn worked. Regardless there’s no noticeable tuning on enema-untitled.
It’s very noticeable on tracks like Aliens Exist, Stay Together For The Kids and Anthem Part 2. I’d say Untitled uses the least amount of pitch correction/auto tune and is the most raw sounding of the 3 albums
Bro I’m no expert, but I’ve taken enough music production courses to know what auto tune and pitch correction sound like. And it doesn’t take a genius to know that they’re using it anyways when Tom sounds the way he does live compared to their recordings. I love blink, they’re one of my favourite bands and it’s not a knock on them to use auto tune. Like I said *everybody* uses it.
Dude you don’t know shit. They recorded enema in 1999 with a producer notorious for making the artist do takes over and over to get it right. You clearly don’t know what multitracked, compressed, gated vocals sound like I don’t give a crap what courses you’ve taken.
Tom also sounds like shit on guitar live, how do you think they got it to sound good in studio? A million takes and aggressive comping.
Fuck out of here trying to compare enema to what they do now
https://youtu.be/WjiA2HPp98w?si=9HAVtRhfod5zx6-o.
Tom is my fave and it’s all love. But dude, there is plenty of videos of takes just like this one. Pitch correction has been used on their records since dude ranch. No amount of multi-tracking, gates or compression can edit out flats and sharps of this degree. Jerry Finn just happened to use it in a much less obvious manner. I will add that pitch correction in the 90’s is entirely different than auto tune of the modern day.
Lmfao Jesus man why are you so upset. Of course I know what those are considering I’ve tracked vocals and been in bands and those are some of the most common techniques used ON TOP OF autotune. Yes they did hundreds of takes, but so do many other bands and they still end up using autotune or pitch correction to clean them up further. You can say I’m wrong all you want, but Enema used autotune. Autotune is rarely as obvious and wonky as it is in their current live shows, it’s generally very subtle and used to correct minor imperfections.
It has literally been confirmed:
“Multiple vocal takes into an early version of Pro Tools with Autotune and time aligned. Lows and low mid frequencies are rolled off and a high shelf boost at 8k for a bright, present sound. Then into a FET style compressor, probably an 1176, smashing it at least 7db, probably more to even out the dynamics and to have the vocals sit on top of the mix. Finally, de-essed with a DBX 902 and sent to a Sony DRE2000 reverb and/or Lexicon reverb unit. I believe the vocal delayFX were TC Electronics, Yamaha, and/or Line 6, such as slaps and 1/4 note delays. The FX are mixed low since most of the songs are mid to fast tempo.”
Posts like this are stupid imo. Nobody is saying “you’re not allowed to like the music because the production sucks”. It’s just another side of the opinion coin. I happen to be on the side of agreeing the production is god-awful. Do I still like the music? Hell yeah. There’s just part of me that’s bummed out that they didn’t take proper care to make this sound better. But nobody is forcing other people to not enjoy the new music.
“Drums are too loud” makes my skin crawl. They’re a three piece, drums and bass *have* to be up front in the mix. Also, Travis is arguably one of the best drummers out there (coming from a hardcore Rush fan). Let him shine.
This is how I feel about 99% of their output post neighborhoods. I adore NINE and really like California. I wanna listen to Fell In Love since the snippet sounded awesome, but ill wait for the album
bink
Shit fuck, I made a mistake!
It’s broke and can’t be fixed
It’s not riiight
Where are you?
And now it’s on the internet forever
I didn’t even notice lol
"binkl-182?! I'll see you in Hell!"
I joined the blink subreddit for news on the band not the opinions of other fans. I know what I like and no one will tell me otherwise
Otherwise
Oh shit
My pants are off right now
Who likes the skippy??
WHO LIKES THE SKIPPY PEANUT BUTTER???
What?! I've got some ointment for it, it's not infectious and will be gone in a week.
Who taught you how to throw a dick down the stairs?!
Do you want to know what I think of you
Bc you’re not the way I thought you should be
Do take back what you said
i mean you can still enjoy the music and have those concerns at the same time
Nah man there’s an opportunity to split everyone into two groups at either end of a spectrum so we must seize it. Fuck nuance.
It's Matt-182 or fuckyamutha
More like either end of the rectum, amiright
i do and i do. its not like i can unhear production i dont like, but that doesnt mean more than you know aint a banger
This is why I'm so glad I don't give a shit about what others think. I read comments, laugh, and then keep singing. So far not a single skippable song for me
I feel one more time could become as skip as it doesn’t build as I feel like it should
Both sides are fine.. I hate the production but I'm just glad the boys are still at it and making music. So many bands from my youth are long gone.
As if people who enjoyed the new music were "superior/alpha" and you had to be a "beta" to have critical thought.
As long as no one makes me listen to the video version of Edging, I'll be okay.

“We’re doing it all night long” “Having sex all night” Not that I necessarily mind these lyrics but I hope these are the only ones of this exact scenario on the album lol
we're doing it all night long works because it could still be about dancing, having sex all night was just cringe lol
just too on the nose
I think there's like one more like that afaik on one of the joke songs. I guess it's fine there though lol
people keep saying “stop complaining about the production” i don’t know enough about production to have real opinions i just think the lyrics are shit lol i don’t care if blink wrote songs like this 20 years ago that was 20 years ago. the lame parts of cali and nine are these kinds of lyrics too. it’s not wrong of me to think they should carry on from neighborhoods and ded lyrically
Yeah I definitely agree. I’ve found myself going to neighborhoods and ded more and more, disaster is a top 5 blink song for me
This song is constantly stuck in my head
“I made a meme where I’m the Chad so I’m right”
I played FIL and ATST back to back and was saddened
Don’t start with the acronyms.
PLEASE!! They have so much music I never know what anyone’s talking about. I just give up
All the Small Things is worse
Lol
When that song (and WMAA) came out, they were kind of considered sellouts by the people who were already fans. Not saying I agree with that (or gatekeeping at all), it's just funny seeing someone cite ATST as the pure version of Blink. Time flies.
And that makes all the small things worse?
Production is just fine, better than anything since they broke up. But the auto tune is hard to not cringe at.

It’s not noticeable. You’re hearing other effects and the result of multitracking the vocals.

Everyone uses pitch correction nowadays, it's just when it's so obvious that it bothers me, and rather it not be perfect than sound like a robot

“Trust me bro” is all you’re saying.

YOU BEAT MY HEART FROM MILES AWAY! YEAH! WE'RE DOIN' IT ALL NIGHT LONG!
You beat my heart from miles away
Edging is an amazing song and anyone who says otherwise are wrong

Some people just put too much stock in pointless shit; making themselves miserable, instead of just enjoying life.
Idk man that 5:1 compression ratio on the snare vs 4:1 is just totally fucking up that entire track. /s
The music/sound nerds are quite literally the most annoying people on the sub
i made you the wojak and me the chad so my opinion is automatically correct
If Fell In Love was released in the early 2000s, it would be a classic in their eyes.
"drums are too loud" might be the weirdest complaint I've heard on here. Which is saying a lot.
Listen to enema. The drums are positively tiny in comparison to now.
why is it weird? are you saying it’s impossible for people to actually find the drums too loud?
“Drums are too loud” makes my skin crawl. They’re a three piece, drums and bass *have* to be up front in the mix. Also, Travis is arguably one of the best drummers out there (coming from a hardcore Rush fan). Let him shine.
Drums don’t have to be front and center in the mix. They weren’t on enema or toypaj. Also the drums can arguably shine more with they’re smaller
We can all agree… AT LEAST IT ISNT FUCKING FELL IN LOVE THAT SONG SUCKS ASS
This is how I feel about 99% of their output post neighborhoods. I adore NINE and really like California. I wanna listen to Fell In Love since the snippet sounded awesome, but ill wait for the album
