This song is like accepting your own defeat in life. The lyrics are so on the nose, it’s almost kind of funny and authentically a true “Blink-182 song”.
I think it’s so dope. This one and Terrified really stood out to me. I thought Childhood was brilliant and a great progressive closer to the album. It seemed to sort of hint of a new direction with the band.
Dude, id be so happy if you did this with every track on the album. I love it. Us blink fans really appreciate the hard work you put into editing this as well. You made it so easy to understand. Kudos to you my friend!!! Subscribed
I agree but replace terrified with dance with me . (I love terrified but it got the worst production of any song on the album . It was done dirty but the song itself is amazing)
Turpentine is fucking great. Terrified was a Boxcar song Tom and Travis had in the bank. Bad News is straight up Dude Ranch. One More Time has the same energy of Enema of the State but from a mature band's perspective. I love blink. Saw them in Orlando, FL in June '24
Awesome video man, I really enjoyed you approach. I love what you said at 15:30 - the most effective production tricks are the ones that elevate the meaning & lyrics of the song. Keen to see more content from you.
This was super cool to see. I’m wanting to learn how to make music like this but I’m very much just starting. I’m using cakewalk. I’d like to see more of this blink related analysis!
Very nice Julian. I'm trying to recreate the Synth for this song, and this is why I ended up finding your video. I'm not a sound guy et all, am just learning as I go as this is my first time trying to produce something. Your video opened my ears to a lot of nice details that I had not noticed yet. Totally deserved the like on this video, and I subscribed to your channel. Thanks!
One more thing to add. They also sidechained parts of the guitars with drums. You can hear it in this particular track but also in Anthem part 3 , where it was too overcompressed. I understand that they've tried to use an unorthodox approach in this album comparing the previous albums. I personally feel that in some parts they've overdone with this approach. (You can argue with me but it's in the end a matter of taste). Despite the fact I mentioned before, it is still a very cool album and as a BLINK fan I am happy that I have purcahsed it.
Eai!! Bem daora sua análise! Assisti a sua última e concordei que Turpentine era a melhor do álbum, mas passado alguns dias, eles liberaram mais duas músicas... Uma delas sendo a Cut Me Off, que eu curti demais, pra mim tá empatada com Turpentine.. Seria daora se fizesse um review pra Cut Me Off!!! Abraço!
I’d love to see an analysis of “On Some Emo Shit” from NINE. It’s such an underrated and under appreciated song of them. You just got a new subscriber!
You may be looking a little too deep into their writing style. Tom has personally said they originally wrote songs to be children’s fairy tales on meth. Regarding this song, not sure. Since Travis was the producer, I would love to hear his perspective, because I love this song. I haven’t been able to rate my favorites yet, especially with the new two songs. Just saying, maybe they didn’t intend to be this deep with the song production wise
“Punk rock guy to punk rock guy” Ima fem producer and musician and frankly super fatigued by the language in almost EVERY production/gear/tutorial video. Ladies already have an uphill battle in this arena and just wanted to make note for you and any other guys here that it’s well overdue to start correcting yourself when using non inclusive language. Beyond that, not everyone is even gender binary. All in good spirits, Thanks for reading.
Honestly I do my best to keep these expressions out of my videos but when I’m talking fast and flowing through the videos sometimes it happens. You also have to understand that English is my second language and on my native language gender is not as big of a deal as it is in English, even inanimate objects have genders in Portuguese… a table is a she… a car is a he. The slang “guy” itself in the context that I am using translates to the word “cara” which means face in Portuguese and it’s used for all genders. I try my best but I also ask for understanding from my viewers since English has become the international language, it must be spoken by people with different cultural backgrounds and will not always fit the current American/British standards of etiquette. Thanks for the heads up though.
