#582Golden showers was great lmao. If the lyrics weren't joke lyrics it would be even better
Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#583Golden Showers is embarrassing in the same way that Endless Summer is - two songs where Tom clearly is trying to remember his roots, but he doesn't know how to do it anymore, so he forces the issue. What a disgrace.

#584Welp it's been Elevator verified. This is shite.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'm obviously kind of furious with Tom, and have been since the breakup. It's almost like he played a prank on me that he was this great musician and artist and I bought it. The veil got pulled back and suddenly I see him for what he is and it makes me look like an idiot for ever defending him.
You all have every right to enjoy these as much as you want, but I'm obviously not eating another bite of Tom's bullshit stew just because it gives off the vapors of some festering blink abortion.

#587The piano-like sound in the background of Landscapes sounds an awful lot like what you hear at the start of Valkyrie Missile.
Look: I'm athletic, girl, I've gotten several rec league MVPs.
Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#588Christ, Golden Showers is AWFUL. The guy is almost 40, this is just embarrassing.
Only decent song on there is Endless Summer. And that's not really great, it's just not bad. I guess Landscapes is okay, it sounds like a song off of I-Empire.

"Travis and I could tour as blink-182 if we wished. We could hire a new guitarist and hit the road. It would be our right, since Tom quit. Of course we have no plans to do that. Blink-182 was the three of us. The whole thing would be very disingenuous." - Mark Hoppus

#589He really should've named this album in 3 separate stages:
16 and a Little Ghost
18 and a Wicked Kid
19 and a Boys Yay-Oh-Oh

#590Not sure if I think the songs are "meh" because I'm still grudging against Tom, or because the songs are "meh".

Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#591Lanscapes sound interesting, and An Endless Summer could be okay. The rest is crap.
Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#592To be honest it seems as though his Golden Showers song is making fun of his old self. The instrumental is good and so is the melody, but the lyrics just seem to be way to out there.
Elevator I was just messing with you man.

#593Landscapes is the only one I can say is truly garbage. The rest all sound pretty good. I'm honestly surprised.

I agree. It's almost like Tom is saying "ok kids, here's the pop punk song you always wanted, but I'm gonna crap out some lyrics because I'm tired of this shit."

Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#595I'm holding back from listening to the previews because they tend to ruin things for me haha. Excited to hear the whole thing later!

Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#596at this point, im glad Tom got kicked out of blink because if he worked with them on another record, judging by this garbage, it would have totally sucked.
Re: Tom Delonge To The Stars Demos, Odds And Ends
#598I also find it amusing that 6 months ago he came out with a very serious album and now he is singing about pooping on chests in California.
Cant wait for the music video

#599At 0:45 Golden Showers reminds me of Up All Night.
Also, I liked the demo drums for that better... I don't even know why.

The riff seems to be a bit changed from Instagram as well. Nice to see he actually did significant work on some stuff after he announced the album in February.
