Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 166

It is really a diverse album. From Little Death, 155, to Make You Smile.

 

couple of those are definitely joke "tracks". Really curious how the rest of the album pans out considering BTD is the longest track.

 

honestly Id say enema. The opening riff to Dumpweed >>>

 

I'm listening to self titled right now for the first time in maybe 2-3 years... Being blown away. Love it

 

Nah it's just a great album. I throw it on every few months and it's really great from front to back.

 

But if you start early, I gotta go Dude Ranch. Still my favorite after all these years.

 

I have a feeling they are gonna be like short interludes like they had on Paramores self-titled.

 

"Bored to Death" seems exactly like what a Blink fan of 10 years ago should like today. It's weird how well that fits. It meshes so much better than so many other pop-punk bands trying to write one-tenth of that chorus.

 

I'm hoping for this. I really don't want any awkward, forced "joke" tracks.

 

Yeah and Make Me Smile comes out of nowhere.

I always liked the female accompaniment to Marks voice. It was a good high to his low.

Go try Dude Ranch next. I just listened to that the other day and brought back a lot of memories.

 

I think if you just throw Neighborhoods out the window, this song is a logical step from their s/t (I'm sure that's been sad, but 160+ pages is too much to go through to check).

 

True true. You really can't go wrong with either. I thought the jump from the very polished BTD would be slightly jarring compared to Dude Ranch so I felt Enema was a good transition.

 

Seriously! Bored to Death makes me want to pretend Neighborhoods never happened... Minus Up All Night and and After Midnight.

 

Not a bad at all move. Hha.

 

After midnight is incredible... I always go back to neighborhoods hoping for something that just isn't there

 

So the opening drums to Bored to Death...Feeling This, anyone? I fucking love it. I love the prechorus and chorus. As a long time AK3 fan, I've been excited to hear Skiba on the new album since he started playing with Blink and I'm not disappointed in the slightest!

 

Agreed. BTD makes Ghost on the Dance Floor seem like a train wreck of sound. The production is just night and day. Then again that could be the vodka talking.

 

Travis's manager Ben has a higher res b/w version on the Deckstar site:

 

I love that we are at the hour where everyone is a couple of beers deep and just going on endless rants of the back catalogue.

 

Thanks. Not bad. Ugh. Wish I could bring those levels up a bit. May go with a more full version of the car for the morning post — do another big hero image and sticky it and update it with any news we get from the KROQ thing.

 

Nope, it was a train wreck. No vodka over here, either haha

 

Die Hard is on AMC, but I am listening to Blink TOYPAJ which makes for a nice Wizard of Oz/Pink Floyd moment.

 

Totally how I feel after today. Gonna sleep like a baby when I finally get to bed and have to be up at like 6:30 for this KROQ thing. #bloggerlife

 

TOYPAJ is a good idea for the night.

 

At this point I'm wondering what's left to announce tomorrow morning, as KROQ has already gone ahead and posted the tour dates on Instagram.

Gotta pretty much just be on-sale dates? What do you think is left to say?
