Holy shit I just heard "The Adventure" (?) on the radio and fuck yes. The marriage of the emo and Chameleons/KoD/Comsat Angels-esque too-many-effects-pedals-is-not-enough dream pop is an idea whose time has surely come. I always hated Blink-182 but I find myself unable to contain my enthusiasm about this song--even his voice is less embarassing in the context of all those guitars. Also I like the clanky, barely audible beat backing up the drums throughout the song. It reminds me of "1979".

i'd say i'm a pretty big AvA fan. finally saw them live in late 2019.
i do hope that if tom ever returns to blink 182 again, he drops the "AvA" voice though.

i think he just sings like this now, by which i mean his voice has deteriorated a lot. kinda prefer his voice now for the most part but "restless souls" def has a weird strangled quality in the verses

was just listening to we don't need to whisper and god "the war" is an incredible song
we don't need to whisper earns its monotonous reputation tbh, but i-empire is a great little album. underrated

^^^ i'm just as surprised as anyone that the opening of this song is a dead ringer for underworld's "juanita"
