Analysis: poor mixing
Conclusion: play it loud and fuck everything
Heart: what a fucking album, it makes me so happy
Blink is trying to create a vibe with their mix…
they could create an audiophile type recording but that’s not their sound.
Blink is nostalgia music
It’s been a long time since I’ve listened to Blink … since well before I turned into a sooty audiophile. They were okay for listening in a car. So I’m going into this with a bad attitude.
