September 7, 201113 yr If we pretend Up All Night doesn't exist this is very very very good. HUWZdTrLfrA That said, I do hope there's more songs like 'Heart's All Gone' on the album <3
September 7, 201113 yr Author based on the three songs so far i'd say the album is going to be pretty varied, which of course is an awesome thing, i'd be interested in some heavier tracks like in the style of Violence and Stockholm Syndrome. but yeah i'm enjoying After Midnight. so far Hearts All Gone > After Midnight > Up All Night I like Up All Night but why they decided to make it the first track when it's weaker I don't know, you can tell the style of UAN is right for a comeback track (it's quite big sounding and shows off all 3 members) but the response to the other tracks has been much more positive.
September 7, 201113 yr That stupid game. I've got 181 and 183 10 times each now but not 182. ARGHGHGHGHGHGH.
September 8, 201113 yr how do you download it? I got 182 on the game but no download link has appeared in my inbox!
September 8, 201113 yr Yeah that is ridiculous, I've done it twice and still waiting on an email. I think you may have to do what the rest of us did and go the *cough* other route!
September 11, 201113 yr I got it in 3 attempts. First go I didn't really understand what we had to do so I left it going to 600 and something haha. But it made sense after that! Really, REALLY liking it though. This comeback so far has been great! the end of September couldn't come any faster, could it?! :drama:
September 14, 201113 yr Author Send me a link please?! :D got it off a private torrent site sorry bro i came a little when I heard 'Natives'
September 14, 201113 yr Author i'm on the bonus tracks now. so f***ING LOVE THE ALBUM. but thats only one listen and it hasn't sunk in. expect my full verdict in a few days maybe.
September 14, 201113 yr Author well i've given it 5 listens now. really loving it, it really feels like it does sum up their careers, some bits early blink sounding, some bits enema sounding, some bits self titled sounding, some bits box car racer sounding, some bits AvA sounding, some bits +44 sounding, Tom does a good vocal job overall, definatly no need to worry there, Travis just f***ing smashes it. i think it's too early to compare with how good it is to their other albums, but it is certainly great. rate (subject to change): Ghost on the Dancefloor | 7.8 Natives | 9 Up All Night | 7 Afte Midnight | 7.8 Snake Charmer | 7.5 Hearts All Gone Interlude | 7 Heart's All Gone | 9 Wishing Well | 8 Kaleidoscope | 8 This Is Home | 8.5 MH 4.18.2011 | 8.8 Love is Dangerous | 7.3 Fighting the Gravity | 7.8 Even if She Falls | 7.8 this is of course by blink standards though, so a 7 on a blink album is like an 8 on most albums. this is wuite easily going to be album of the year for me. because i'm not at all biased when it comes to blink
September 14, 201113 yr I'm up to 'Wishing Well' and it's all pretty grand! It is incredibly so far! In particular 'Ghost On the Dancefloor' and 'Natives'! I think I prefer them to the three tracks we'd heard before the album.
September 15, 201113 yr That time has come for JamesP to share views on the album after the obligatory 6-8 listens. We all know I've had a lot to say about Blink recently, so in spite of my feelings about Tom using the band to promote AvA still standing I am glad that this album has come out quite a success. Ghost On The Dance Floor | Wonderful opening track, beautiful vocals and lyrics and a great intro to the album | 9.0 Natives | FABULOUS. That riff, my god it's like going back to the Cheshire Cat days. Fantastic. | 9.5 Up All Night | This has grown on me, I'll admit, but there is still way too much AvA influence and Tom's vocals are really quite weak on this track. Plus the outro still does my head in. | 7.5 After Midnight | Fantastic. When Blink do slow well, they do it fucking well, this sort of fits in with me as this album's 'Stay Together For The Kids' combined with 'Adam's Song' if you get what I mean. Plus Tom's vocals are much better here. | 9.0 Snake Charmer | I wasn't sure on this one at first, it seemed like a weak point to the album but after a few listen's it has RADICALLY grown | 8.0 Heart's All Gone Interlude | This is just a beautiful piece of music which fits in very nicely and I love the fade in to Heart's All Gone, you can tell Mark had a huge input into this | 8.5 Heart's All Gone | Pure pop punk at it's finest. Incredible. | 10.0 Wishing Well | A little bit weird this one, seems more like a filler track (well, in comparison to the rest of the album, so this is by no means an insult as such) | 7.0 Kaleidoscope | I like the direction they've taken with this one as it's quite experimental and not alot like what we've heard from them in the past. Good track. | 8.5 This Is Home | I'll be honest, this is where the album sort of begins to trail off but that's to be expected from the fact we're going into bonus track territory. This one's alright though. | 7.5 MH 4.18.2011 | Actually, you may have to take what I just said and use this track as an exception. | 9.0 Love Is Dangerous | Now THIS unfortunatley is very much where we get into drift off terriroty, not a fan of this one much. | 5.0 Fighting The Gravity | See above. | 5.0 Even if She Falls | Better, but not exactly incredible. | 6.0 Overall then that gives Neighborhoods a rating of 7.82 as a deluxe edition, but that is with the fairly average bonus tracks bringing it down so overall pretty fucking good. Like I say, I'm glad it's turned out how it has because otherwise me and Blink may have met a very ugly end to our relationship.
