blink-182 share "6/8" track

2017-04-27 by xfearbefore | 97 Comments
blink-182 just shared another brand new song off the upcoming deluxe edition of California, and they've dubbed it the strangest song they've ever recorded. The track is called "6/8" (because of its time signature) and the band say it's one of their favorites because it's aggressive.

The tracklisting of California deluxe features 11 new songs. Of those new tracks we've also heard "Misery," "Parking Lot", and the 30-second epic “Can’t Get You More Pregnant.”

California Deluxe releases May 19. The original album released July of last year and quickly went No. 1.

Don't like the gimmick factor of naming the song 6/8, but otherwise this is really good, way better than anything off California. Almost a small metalcore influence to it.

Thanks for spiffying up the article, I haven't submitted a news item in a really long time.

this band must be musically retarded if they're making such a big deal out of not writing a song in 4/4

if the bonus disc has at least two other good songs you could make a consistently decent album out of the songs from the sessions. makes you wonder who the fuck was responsible for ordering their albums to let this off but put shit like rabbit hole on it

of course thats assuming that the bonus disc has any other good songs on it, which i wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt

Naming a song 6/8 because it's in the time is incredibly pretentious. Being able to play outside of 4/4 and 3/4 isn't talent as a musician, it's to be expected. Now the song isn't terrible but it's still not my cup of tea. Probably one the better blink songs I've heard though.

Yeah the title is pretty dick, the chorus can get a little boring and the line "we are sorry for the greed" felt forced as fuck. I love Travis's drums and Matt screaming how this song needs some fucking personality in the background. Love the experimentation of new sounds, but by God blink, 6/8 isn't impressive. Matt did it with "Live Young Die Fast" and Mark did it with "Lillian." It ain't a big deal.

The bridge had Silverstein vibes. Honestly this is better than the majority of California...if the album had sounded like this I'd be on board.

yeah can't believe anyone likes this. It's insanely derivative of 15 year old music. And it sounds like the lead guitar is missing, like I keep expecting the harmonized guitar to come in but it doesn't

Also Mark can't fucking sing compared to the lot of the core vocalists of that time

As someone who didn't listen to their music growing up, it's all amateurish. DeLonge has two fascinations in life: showing his buttcrack and getting probed by aliens. A real sphincter.
