Future Idiots Take On Blink-182

2012-10-28 by andcas | 81 Comments
Hässleholm, Sweden pop punk band Future Idiots are sure to
create some controversy with their new album Neighborhoods
and Morningwoods
which is a personal cover of Blink-182's
latest offering that puts a different spin to every single song.

The relatively unknown group are aiming to give the release
what they see as a more suitable throwback to their idols old
school style. The statement from the members in the link below explains their motivation.

So far this has been received with extremely mixed emotions from Blink-182 diehards and
there's no official word yet on what Mark, Tom, and Travis think concerning the whole move.

Wow their version of Up All Night 1 is awesome

Most of them seem like tinkering for the sake of tinkering...Up All Night was pretty awesome, but so
far the rest are either too similar to make much of a difference, or they just changed things for the
sake of changing em and it ended up making the song not as good. Ghost on the Dance Floor lacks
keyboards now, Natives is slightly slower, Heart's All Gone lost all the technical drum playing and
opted for plain fast punk playing. It's not bad but I much prefer Neighborhoods (because I actually
really liked that album)

the statement they gave is still douchey as all get out. [2]

sounds more pop punk but still far removed from blink's older material musically anyways (which is what i was more concerned about), so to me at least it just sounds like a bunch of vanilla pop punk covers of someone else's album which i don't find terribly impressive.

not really a fan, but i can't say the covers are bad. more differences without taking out important elements in the original versions would make them so much better, though.

they practically stole their entire album, made it worse and then wanna charge full price for it, and that's even besides how they're only trying to one-up them and mooch off their success while they're at it. they claim it's just a homage but i gotta call total bs on that lol

From youtube;

It would help if you could actually sing. Too much autotune.
-MayonakaMaiku

hahaha yeah.. rather listen to the original with Tom Delonges un-autotuned vocals. Seriously, are you fucking retarded?

I see this is going down well...

snide, I'm pretty sure I already added it to the database (although I can't see it now), only I labeled it as a "compliation" because it technically wasn't their own album

Unnecessary, inferior to the original and about as arrogant as it gets, especially since they're charging for it.

You can't be any more PUNK than to do something like this! I'm sure everyone at one time or another has heard a song by their favorite artist & thought it could have been done differently or better depending on interpretation. I've been listening to the tracks & I think they sound awesome! Some of the best songs of all times have been remakes!

You guys are weird. This is better than the original by several multiples. Also most people ITT didn't understand what the band set out to do: they wanted to convert the new Blink album into sounding like the classic Blink records without the Tom DeLonge A&A douchebaggery.

All songs except for maybe 1 are better than the originals.
