Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 768

Watching Matt Skiba sing All the Small Thing on Good Morning America is so surreal.

 

I love this album. Seriously. This is the Blink 182 I wanted to return so bad.

 

I just want to see a Whoa-off between Dexter Holland and Matt Skiba lol.

 

My wife makes me play Sober every morning throughout the house, I don't hate it one bit.

 

I can't get enough of this album!

 

Finally heard the damn thing

Cynical- wonderful opening track. After hearing how fast it was I didn't expect it to start the way it did
Bored to Death- we all know, but it's still fantastic
She's out of Her Mind- way too catchy and they better play this live
Los Angeles- I'm loving the vibe but I felt they could have done a little more with the song
Sober- definitely got the country vibe. I don't remember this one too well though
Built This Pool- suuuuper out of place
No Future- sounded better than it used to and I actually like the gang vocal part now
Home Is Such a Lonely Place- I teared up a bit and this is the first part of the album where I really started loving Skiba
Kings of the Weekend- don't remember it too much other than the cool riff during the bridge
Teenage Sattelites- song actually had some really cool textures going through it
Left Alone- I don't remember it too well but I think it was good?
Rabbit Hole- grew on me a lot
San Diego- also brought me to tears. Maybe the best song
The Only Thing That Matters- huge Dude Ranch vibes. That can only be a good thing
California- another top song on the album. Didn't expect it sounding anything like it does
Brohemian Rhapsody- whyyyyy. Bad ending and they wasted the best riff on the album

Overall I really liked it and I know it'll grow on me. Going to listen again now! My only complaint is on first listen it felt like a collection of songs rather than an album.

 

If you don't love Skiba's verse in "The Only Thing That Matters" then you won't enjoy what I chopped up just now on lunch break.

I want Skiba to see this haha.

 

I know what your saying on it, I came around on it though and now I really enjoy it.

 

Spotify has "She's Out of Her Mind" and "Home is Such A Lonely Place" on their New Music Friday playlist

 

I honestly had to look up what song those lyrics were in a few minutes ago because people kept talking about it. Then RIGHT after I figured it out I saw this post haha.

 

Haha I love those lyrics, and how his pronunciation makes Marilyn Manson actually rhyme with flatscreen television

 

cd comes into town at 7:42am today...didn't get set on vehicle for delivery. i'm pissed.

 

How long until Tom makes a new statement? over/under

 

Was on a long drive to Cleveland and got my first listen somewhere in West Virginia at like 12:20 am - perfect cure for the highway hypnosis

 

New to Spotify so I don't know the process of updating the monthly listeners numbers, but blink 182 went up 20,000 from yesterday. I don't know if it's the first of the month and that's what they gained the whole last month or if those are like all brand new.

 

Would love to get his honest, unbitter thoughts on the record...he could repair his image big time by choosing the right forum...but I expect him to show up at a show, tell mark and travis that he learned all the new songs and is there if they need him...

 

It really feels like Spotify gave them a great push, hopefully it helps with album sales.

 

Now knowing that Home is Such a Lonely Place is about Mark's son, that song has risen up as my favorite on the record.

"I'll hold you tight, but not too much to hold you back." Damn, I love that lyric.

 

So how far behind Drake do y'all think this will place?

 

I think this will finally be the thing to overtake Drake, it was close to the RHCP numbers last week already.

 

Such a weird coincidence... woke up to a facebook memory of when I interviewed Skiba at Warped Tour on his bus 6 years ago.

 

Hopefully that means he doesn't feel so mad, feel so angry, feel so callous
So lost, confused, again

 

If I could like this twice I would haha
