Blink-182 to Release ‘California’ on July 1st • Page 2

I think that's pretty much well known, AAR has been pretty quiet for the most part...

 

Not for nothing, obviously Tom will benefit financially from this in many ways. He may even have the power to outright Veto this band, BUT, I think Mark and Travis have made a bold statement release in a first song with Skiba singing the FIRST chorus that everyone was going to be hearing and judging them by. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but that is not a decision I imagine they made lightly, and therefore a deliberate move. Id say, "your move Tom," but i'm really not interested in a messy rebuttal.

 

Going to make this tour for sure. Will be my first Blink show.

 

the new song is really good. It's going to be an awesome summer

Does anybody know why the smiley logo was removed from the girl's arm in the artwork? I'm assuming because it looked like the Nirvana logo but I could be wrong.

 

I think if they were trying to make a statement about Skiba being in the band they would've released a song where he sings on the verses. I like this more than I expected to.

 

before today, my antecipation levels for this album and the single were fine. not too obsessed. now i'm crazy to hear everything and to see how this massive tour is going to unfold. bring on the new era for blink-182.

 

Is this coming out on vagrant? When trying to sign up for their mailing list I get an error message and its a vagrant.com address.

 

He sings the second verse too.

 

I was just about to post this! You see a Vagrant URL when you hit "view page source" in your browser on the blink 182 site.

 

BMG. (Vagrant is a subsidiary of.)

 

I am pumped as fuck

 

Didn't catch that on my first listen. I need to give it another listen with headphones.

 

What's your prediction for sales of this album? Do you think it'll do better sales wise and on radio over Neighborhoods?

 

I like the title of that album.

 

A billion.

Hah. I have no idea at the moment to even think of a prediction. I'll want to watch the build up for sure.

 

Calm down guys. Tom is still in the band.

 

It's on the iTunes artwork?

 

He sings the second verse. And this band has always been a chorus band. It's a big deal IMO

 

Track times.

 

thats a tight tour. and 16 tracks. nice

 

Hell yes, what a tour, what a song. I can't wait.

 

Fair enough! I'm genuinely curious to see how this goes myself. You know that the Blink management team will be very precise in everything that will happen...minus the leak today...outlier.

 

So, 14 full songs since two appear to be interludes/instrumentals....or spoken word? Whatever. Ha.
