Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 693

I missed the rankings.

1. TOYPAJ
2. Enema
3. California
4. Untitled
5. Neighborhoods
6. Dude Ranch
7. Cheshire Cat

Not gonna dignify DED with a ranking.

 

I'm bored so it's my pre-California rankings, and it'll be awhile before I rank that after I hear it. Ranking new albums after a few days is madness to me lol.

Dude Ranch
Untitled
Enema
TOYPAJ
Neighborhoods
Cheshire Cat
DED

I think Untitled is their best, but I can't live without the Mark songs on Dude Ranch.

 

Maybe I missed you discussing this, but what did you not like about untitled to rank it so low?

 

Dude Ranch
TOYPAJ
Enema
California
Cheshire Cat
Untitled
Neighborhoods

 

It just doesn't hold up well for me. There's only five or six songs on there I still really want to listen to, and mainly I just think they do the sunny pop-punk sound better than what they were trying on that album. Not a bad record by any means, I could put it on now and think it's fine, but not by any means my favorite from the band.

 

I think this album could pass Enema with time, could even become my favorite Blink album if it finds a way to connect personally

 

Fair enough. I definitely get what you're saying. Just curious since that album seems to top most lists, so I thought it was interesting that you had it in the middle.

If I had to rank them it would be:

Untitled
TOYPAJ
Enema
California
Dude Ranch
Neighborhoods
Cheshire Cat

I really like California, but I'm not sure how it will hold up.

 

I don't think it's the best track, and I sometimes skip it, but I do like it. It has a personal meaning to me( first time I heard it was on an 8 hour drive to my uncles funeral)

 

I think they could've written a really good album in that vein had they not broken up right after, but to me Untitled just sounds like a band experiencing major growing pains while trying to mature.

 

Dude Ranch was Blink's coming out party, surprised to see it low on people's lists. Everything great about Blink 182 is right there on that album!

 

Interesting. I never got that vibe although it would make sense after Tom and Travis did boxcar. I definitely respect that opinion.

 

I think for my list personally the albums in the middle aren't separated by a whole lot. I still listen to pretty much everything except Cheshire.

 

I never liked Dude Ranch as much for some reason

 

Lol my list might as well be numbered
1
1.5
2
2.5

Def not much separation at my top

 

Their only albums that I don't love completely are Cheshire and TOYPAJ.

 

1. Untitled
2. TOYPAJ
3. Enema
4. Dude Ranch
5. Neighborhoods/DED
6. Cheshire Cat/Buddah

Will add California when I hear it on Friday, but from what I've heard so far it could at least steal dude ranchs spot

 

The title track is like surprisingly strong

 

Pretty much sums it up!

 

Really?? the pre chorus to this song is great

 

In an album full of woahs and WA-ho's, I find teenage satellite somehow missing them in the background. Am I alone in this?

 

Does anyone else on no future hear "I was lost from dawn to dusk" instead of hours? Lol I know it's hours but my mind always tricks me

 

California is a great album, but its really being held back by the production... especially on the vocals. the vocals are way too fixed up it just sounds like you made Mark and Matt robots and had them sing everything.

Sober is by far the best song, overall pretty great.

 

I hear the former ...

 

Ehhhhh. No thanks.

 

I think people focus on the vocals because Marks voice has changed as he's gotten older. There's definitely not more "help" on these songs than their previous. People just got used to the younger voice and thought *that* was natural. So the difference is probably more noticeable.
