Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 748

My package is 20 minutes away from my house as of now :( I'm hoping it somehow gets there today but I doubt it

 

If someone would have told me in 2009 that in 2016 Blink would make a record, with 16 tracks....record with Matt Skiba replacing Tom Delonge, have guest vocals by Jack Hoppus, Piano by Alabama Barker and let Travis have two "speaking parts" on the record - I would have said get the fuck out of here.....that sounds FUCKING AWESOME.

 

haha i would have disregarded all of those words and laughed into the face of the person who told me that.

 

Los Angeles
Bored to death
Home is such a lonely place
Cynical
No future
San Diego
Left Alone
Sober
California
She's out of her mind
Teenage Sattelites
The only thing that matters
Rabbit Hole
Kings of the weekend
Brohemian...
Built this pool

I like all the songs and it's too early to tell, but that is my list atm

 

I love these 9 songs, almost interchangeably right now. The other 5 full length songs have moments and I still enjoy but to a lesser extent. Although California continues to grow on me

Cynical
Left Alone
Sober
The Only Thing That Matters
Bored to Death
Teenage Satellites
San Diego
She's Out of Her Mind
Home is Such a Lonely Place

 

I realized that the music on the verse of "Hey, I'm Sorry" sounds similar to a song my old band wrote a few years ago, haha. Cool!

 

Quite happy that I've managed to hold off listening to the record so far. Tomorrow morning is going to be special.

Also... still no idea where my pre-order is. ha.

 

Bradsoneeightytwomanband - ha am I the first to crack this joke?

 

Still scratching my head at hearing people dislike Rabbit Hole. Easily one of my favorites.

 

Definitely has that 90's punk sound to it. Simple, and effective. A great track.

 

I listened to this album quite a bit and it got me hankering for some throwback pop punk, so I've been listening to Less Than Jake's Anthem, which is a blast of a record. Maybe perfect.

Then last night I finally spun the new 1975 and @Jason Tate... Holy shit

 

like, "holy shit" it's mediocre? haha juuuuust kidding. kinda. i liked the first album way more. meh!

 

Just going to break my power rankings into tiers as it's still being absorbed:

Tier 1 (Please sir may I have another)
Cynical
No Future
San Diego
Left Alone
Sober
Bored to Death

Tier 2 (I think we should hang out more)
The Only Thing That Matters
She's Out of Her Mind
Kings
Teenage Satellites
Home is Such a Lonely Place

Tier 3 (I might give you a call... might)
Rabbit Hole
Los Angeles
California

Tier 4 (Hey - who is this? I lost my phone/your number)
Pool
Brohemian

 

Yaaaaaaasss.

Also LTJ are so good. Haha.

 

Come on our friends in Japan, we need the bonus track!

 

Haha no, I loved it. In fact it's hard to go back to California now, I'll be listening to the 1975 a ton. I'll keep a physical copy of California in the car for summer drives though.

 

YES, PERFECT ALBUM!

 

haha yes, you are the first. also, it took me a minute to figure out the joke. i thought it said "BradsoneeightyWOMANband" and i was like, "80 women? i don't get it." haha.

 

The 1975's latest album is really good, about as good as their debut. I disagree with most on this site that it's some massive leap forward though.

 

Well that because you're supposed to sit in your basement with all the lights out and pretend you're watching a cinematic film in order to enjoy it - little weed probably helps too.

Haha I keeeeed. I love both albums, they have their pros and cons but I've been listening to the new one more this summer and save the old stuff for the weekend when hanging outside clowning with friends

 

the new one is a lot more cohesive than the first was, but it doesn't have enough single tracks that grab me the way that the majority of their debut did.

 

So far, I am pleasantly surprised Mark hasn't addressed "San Diego" being about a whale's vagina rather than Tom.

Or is that too easy?

 

Well, you know how we Germans get when we try to make jokes.

 

It's the middle section that loses me. I'll admit that those middle tracks have grown on me (didn't care for them at all initially), but I still think songs like "Lostmyhead" and "Loving Someone" are underwhelming. I like them, they just don't blow me away...

 

your avatar works perfectly for this particular post, haha
