Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 64

Start the Machine

 

No It Isn't

 

I'm cool with doing WDNTW and I Empire but I'd like to forget about 90% of everything else AVA released after that.

 

My favorite album of theirs is The Dream Walker

 

There are some good songs on Dream Walker but theres also a lot of throwaway. But really what makes that album so unlistenable to me is the awful production.

 

I'd be cool ranking everything but Love Part 2. That's the only one I didn't at least like

 

This and Chasing Shadows EP are really underrated

 

I feel like the Chasing Shadows EP is actually really overrated. "Overload" is pretty good, but I wouldn't even put it in the top 10 AVA songs or anything.

 

I feel like no one talks about the EP

 

Reddit does fairly often

 

I don't use that, so I'll have to trust you on that haha

 

You're better off.

 

WDNTW and a handful of tracks after that are all I really care for from AVA. The Adventure is probably the favorite but The War is huge. I could see it being the dark horse

 

I loved WDNTW and iempire. Front to back. After that, there's been maybe 4-5 from each album I like, the rest I skip.

 

No it isn't, which might be my favorite song Mark has ever written

 

I listened to this the other day. It's amazing how being removed from the album so long helps show how much I hate most everything on it. I liked mercenaries when the record came out and that was about it but mercenaries compared to literally anything else before it is just laughable. IMO, of course.

And the production is the worst thing tom ever put his name on next to the solo album. IMO, again.

 

Aright everyone I thinks time that we close this chapter of the Blink-182 bracket challenge and move on to the last side project. Tough match, two very good songs but here is the final totals:

No It Isn't- 18
Chapter 13- 11

This will see No It Isn't move on to the champion bracket for the side project rounds, and Chapter 13 move on to the Wild Card challenge. Up next is the final side project bracket, Angels and Airwaves' We Don't Need To Whisper, and then on to the finals. That will be coming up momentarily,

 

What will you do with all the free time you'll have once this is over? Write a book? Search for aliens? Be bored to death!??

 

Alright, Alright. I had intended on just letting the game end now that we have covered Blink-182's ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY. But I am getting requests to do the side projects as well. A lot of requests. I didn't think this game was THAT well liked. So allow me to introduce you to:

BLINK-182 MADNESS
BONUS ROUNDS: SIDE PROJECTS

If the last game was the main season, think of this as post season exhibition or something. Or Don't idk. This will operate just like the Official Blink-182 Madness games except for one change. I'm voting this time. Because I said so, and I literally just counted votes for over a month and only got to vote twice. Anyways, we will do BOXCAR RACER, +44, and ANGELS AND AIRWAVES. Since the first two only have one album, it's only fair that we don't go through all of Angels' 5 albums and the EPs, so AvA will only run WDNTW. At the end, the Champions and 1 Runner Up from each will face off for Side Project Champion(...woooo), after a wildcard bracket of the runner ups. Now, up next my personal favorite of the three:

BLINK-182 MADNESS
BONUS ROUNDS: SIDE PROJECTS
ANGELS AND AIRWAVES- WE DONT NEED TO WHISPER

ROUND 1+2

Because of the amount of songs on this album, the bracket is running differently than Blink's did, half the album had to get byes into round 2 so we don't end up with an odd number of finalists. Here is the first two rounds:

Round 1:

The Adventure Vs. Do It For Me Now

The Gift Vs. Distraction

A Littles Enough Vs. Good Day
---
Round 2:

Winner of 1 Vs. The War

Winner of 2 Vs. It Hurts

Valkyrie Missile Vs. Start The Machine




Round 1 starts now.

 

I-Empire is decent but I don't have enough of a connection to it to vote. WDNTW is the only one I could vote on lol

 

Probably be counting imaginary votes in my head after over a month and half of doing so every day lol

 

Do It
Distraction
