Reading some 1 star reviews of the 2003 album from 2003 is pretty funny.

 

People who use "satire" as an excuse for shitty behavior are hilarious because usually 1.) They don't actually understand what it means and think saying "satire" is "he didn't actually mean what he said, it was just a joke" or 2.) See number 1, they have no idea what the hell satire means or else they wouldn't be using it to try and deescalate the shitty thing someone said because that is literally not what it's for.

 

This sounds interesting:

"And that’s not just because of Skiba’s vocals. While there’s a handful of straight-up pop-punk additions like The Only Thing That Matters, Cynical and the just-released track Rabbit Hole, for the most part California sees Blink shed the punk, jump the emo and catapult themselves straight into pure pop territory.

They’ve stuffed their guitars with layers of synths, pianos and programming, while Hoppus’s vocals have been polished to perfection, drenched in reverb and other digital effects and stacked under slabs of shimmering pop harmonies."


From: FIRST LISTEN: Blink-182's 'California' - Why You'll Love It & Why You Might Hate It - Music Feeds

So damn thrilled with all the upcoming reviews. :)

 

I hope Alabama is okay.

 

I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul that crosses Travis Barker and his family. This Youtube guy does not know or understand what kind of people Travis is friends with...

 

... so ... Blink-182.

Got it.

Haha.

 

I'm just happy they didn't do EOTS part 3 or TOYPAJ part 2. As much as I love both records, I think blink perfected that sound and should explore other directions.

 

Damn, first listen reviews are coming out. WE'RE GETTING CLOSER PEOPLE!!111!1!1

 

Welp. It's got me more excited. Although the metal chorus or whatever they said has me a bit

 

I know this won't happen, but I want to see them play "Jaked On Green Beers" so bad. #bikethoughts

 

I find it hard to believe they've come up with a song more electro-pop than "Love Is Dangerous" or heavier than "Stockholm Syndrome" but I guess that's why I'll play the album lol.

 

Republished our 2013 interview:

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 • chorus.fm

 

Glad to figure out where it was that I read that Mark hates bridges haha.

 

Haha! Nice!

 

I wonder how the reddit users are taking this review. I can only imagine...

I'm going into this album completely open minded because I understand why and that it will sound totally different. I can't wait to hear it. If reviews are already coming out, I wonder if it'll leak sooner rather than later.

 

I hope they cry their stupid eyes out.

 

That post talks about a listening session. Sounds like an in-person play.

 

Here is the finished product guys! Hope you all like it.

 

Boy, I personally can't wait for this new POP sound that blink are heading towards. It's gonna be a big departure from punk classics like " All The Small Things" and 'First Date", but hey, sometimes you gotta take chances.

 

Sick

 

I miss the days when they were most often compared to Black Flag and Bad Brains. Sellouts!

 

Ugh, don't remind me.

 

That's true. I'd like to see the album not leak just so I don't have to avoid this site for a few days or whatever haha.
