imo Blink went way too 5SOS-pop with California. It feels too forced to me.The album sounds fine tho, but the only song I really like is Left Alone. On a side note I think they wrote 'Bored To Death' about Matt's voice. At least live. They both are not the greatest singers anymore, so I don't understand why everyone's like "oh they sound better than ever!".. just no. I actually really liked the direction they went with on their latest album and EP with Tom. But then again I love everything that man does. Ok rant over. I'm just sad one of my favourite bands isn't what it used to be I guess.

I actually agree a lot with you. They are more pop than ever imo - thanks to Feldmann for that... I miss Jerry Finn so much. He really did an amazing job for blink. Feldmann though.. He can stay with 5SOS (unfortunately he won't ).. I think it's because of him blink sounds so 5SOS-ish.

New song today from their California deluxe album: It's actually better than a lot of California imo. I love the guitar in the beginning - reminds me a bit of dumbweed. Some of the lyrics though "We are forgotten young suburbia"

I love Matt but I don't think his voice (live inparticular) suits much of what blink are doing at the moment, give or take a few bits (the "what's the point in saying sorry now?" in cynical for example). I like his voice with Marks though. Live on 90% of alkaline trios stuff his voice fits perfectly. Interested to hear the deluxe version - and excited beyond belief to see them again in May!

Yeah I don't really know Alkaline Trio's music. I do think he sounds better on Blink's new songs rather than the old ones (obviously lel). Have fun at their show!

Guys what do you think of California (Deluxe Edition) overall? I think it's great and the song "Long Lost Feeling" is my most favorite.

I really like it this far! I like the darker sounds and lyrics. I think some songs are over-produced though. It almost sounds computer-ish Matt shines a lot more here than on the first disc imo. I really love Last Train Home, Misery and 6/8. I like Long Lost Feeling as well The acoustic version of Bored to Death sounds really good as well!

Deluxe edition has grown on me. I like it now but not as much as the standard album. 6/8 is an awesome but does just sound like an alkaline trio song to me. wildfire, misery, long lost feeling are all great

At the beginning I was very unsure of Blink-182 producing a record with Matt Skiba. But then as soon as I heard the songs I grew to enjoy them. They still pulled out amazing tracks in those records.
