The newest track from The Neighbourhood's #00000 & #FFFFFF mixtape, apparently finally coming in full next week, is under Cool New Music for Alternative. We'll ignore the cringeworthy title and the fact that a French Montana feature on Alt seems like a pretty unlikely circumstance.

"Jealou$y" was much better. This isn't bad though. Doubt this does anything on Alt. Could do something elsewhere though...

I like this more than "Jealou$y", but not as much as most of the songs on I Love You. I'm still eager to check out this mixtape album though. I can reluctantly forgive the cringe-worthy title since they appear to be going for ridiculous titles on this mixtape on purpose a la Linkin Park's Reanimation album. If they start throwing hashtags onto the beginnings of track names on their next regular album, then we'll have a problem.

While this is sort of a neat diversion, I kind of hope this is only for this mixtape and doesn't reflect the sound of their second album. I love I Love You. (probably because it reminds me of Songs About Jane in some places, but darker) and, while "Silver" was a favorable step forward (probably "Unfair" too if it had lyrics), the rest of it has been sort of different - not that I dislike it, I just prefer the moody rock material. Anyway, I haven't listened to "Jealou$y" enough (nor "H8M4CH1N3," which also has a rap verse), but I do like this one.

Kurt, what did I tell you about naming threads while smoking crack?

The vocals sounds like friggin Craig David. Why the hell are they trying to sound so R&B? Absolutely terrible.

But seriously, wow this is such a huge drop in quality from all three of the singles from I Love You. I guess that looking at the title alone I shouldn't have expected much but the song sounds like something Drake passed over. Hopefully this doesn't receive an official adds date or anything.

Available to purchase on iTunes now. Probably going to be one of those mixtape tracks that gets released by the label as a buzz single for their next album (ex. "Strip" by Chris Brown).

This song is so horrible that it deserves that stupid hashtag in the title.

The direction/name of this is totally for the mixtape. The whole mixtape is very rap-oriented and the titles look like a 6th grader using AIM. Mixtape is pretty damn good though.
