blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 177

wtf guys, lay off Neighborhoods. it still kicks way more ass than California or Nine.

 

I hear some Box Car DNA sprinkled throughout Neighborhoods, I don’t think it would’ve raised eyebrows if they revived TERRIFIED for that album. It has 5 or 6 Tom/Mark songs and DED had 4, so I don’t necessarily see MTYK being a Tom only song if it were done back then. Granted it wouldn’t have sounded as good due to the fact that the production is much better on this album.

 

Just muted the curse words

 

Thanks for letting me know. No need to check it out then.

 

feldy and all the cowriters ruined those two albums, over produced has been pop punk. why go backwards progressively as well? i felt bad for mark back then, he is the only one who needs blink. tom and travis have shown they don't at the end of the day.

 

I don’t hear any Box Car on “Neighborhoods.” Most of the Tom stuff sounds like AVA leftovers, if anything.

 

I mean what would they really talk about regarding Scott in the Zane interview? This wasn’t a documentary about the band so there was really no reason to talk about him in depth. I’m sure Matt won’t be mentioned again on follow up album roll out interviews.

 

Neighborhoods is missing so much of the energy and care present on Nine and OMT. Tom's voice is a great example for comparison between Neighborhoods and OMT. So much energy there. Neighborhoods has great song ideas, but leaves a lot to be desired at the end of the day for me.

OMT > Nine > Neighbs > Cali

 

There are cowriters on this album too.

 

good or not, at least they wrote it on their own and didn't need a billion cowriters.

 

Poor Mark. I felt so bad for him as well with his Grammy-nominated, number one album with a number one song on it. So sad to see how far he fell smh.

 

Yeah, Scott was in the band for even a shorter period than Matt was. And it was like 25 years ago, before they had a hit song. Seems like a weird thing that they would be expected to address in 2023.

 

One More Time has just as many co-writers on it. And lets be real, Jerry Finn would've had a co-write credit on Enema-TOYPAJ-Untitled if the politics of that weren't different back in the early aughts.

 

look at ALL the help he needed to get there, that grammy nom was because they were running out of ideas for rock band anyways, look at who they lost to.. cage the fucking elephant lol

 

no it doesn't i read the liner notes,, nine had WAY more song writers on it.

 

This is a bit right? It has to be a bit.

 

dammit was a hit on the rock charts I believe, but fuck scott

 

But what about trap beats? Is this 100% pure uncut rock?

 

Why do you have to word it as "needing help" vs. "being open to collaborating with other people"? lol

Can't believe Tom was so desperate for commercial success that he had to request Mark and Travis's help because he didn't know how to be successful on his own. Poor guy.

 

Good god I hardly block anybody but I've had enough of Wade

 

These songs would not sound or be played the way they are now if written and recorded then. There is a fundamental difference in how these songs were written.

 

They play a whole two songs, sometimes one, off Neighorboods, so by that logic that isn’t a blink record. Very dumb, tired take

 

I recently unblocked everyone I ever blocked. Wade did make a random ass personal attack on me recently. I don’t know why. Was out of nowhere. I’m still in my “don’t feel like blocking mindset,” but this bit today is bizarre.

 

I don’t think logic is being used here haha
