The Tiny Magic Indian

Blink’s return is an engaging tale of hard work and honesty triumphing over indifference but, close up, the story feels less compelling. For while ‘The Tiny Magic Indian’ touts engaging emo theatrics, its ambitions in the direction of skater-punk anthemia fail to convince. The track reveals Blink to be canny veterans, with an ear for radio-friendly structure, yet surely the last thing they planned was to be compared unfavorably with Sum 41. Not as fantastic as you want it to be, not as revolutionary as the band think it is.
