      @@yoosh9034 It's a little difficult considering that this is more of a stylized cover, but there's small elements that harken back to blink, like the abrupt pauses, half-time drum bits, rapid palm mutes, and whatnot. Here's a list of songs that have these moments:
      Mutt
      Anthem
      Man Overboard
      Online Songs
      Give Me One Good Reason
      Please Take Me Home
      Don't Tell Me It's Over
      Time to Break Up
      Violence
