Mark Hoppus Wants to Experiment More With Blink-182

Can’t object to that

 

"We're doin' BABABA's now instead of NANANA's"



Jk, i'll check it out.

 

Came here to make the same joke lol

 

Blink is at their best when they experiment so I am all for this.

 

Bring Tom back into the band and write a concept album about aliens.

 

always chasing that Untitled 03 high

 

a thousand times this.

 

haha yeah man I wasn't even joking

 

This probably explains the recent collaborations. Curious to see what they do here. I'm not anticipating it sounding anything like the 2003 self-titled record, though... I'm guessing it'll be more of an attempt a "let's write songs that Top 40 radio can play in 2019" album. The self-titled record had them expand their palette by looking back at some of their influences.

I'm hoping the collabs allow them to expand their palette in a way that feels natural. It can get pretty cringeworthy when bands throw in "modern" sounds and its clearly there just to try to mix it up and stay relevant...

I don't care whether I like the songs or not; it'd be pretty cool for Blink to have another hit of mainstream success.

 

came here to make the same joke, then to say "came here to make the same joke" now I've got nothin

 

I hope they go all in. I was hoping that MANIA would be all like Young and Menance

 

So many people are gonna shit on it, but Im all for them putting out a weird record. Bro purists are gonna lose their shit, and Im excited about that.

 

This wont be a weird album...it'll probably feature production from a couple DJs and some Soundcloud rapper features...

 

It's a polka record. Confirmed weird is weird

 

I want a TOYPAJ 2 but this will do

 

I mean I could be could be it depends on what they mean by “weird.” Because when I want to listen to blink 182 there’s a certain “thing” I wanna hear. If they do new and cool things with their “thing” then bravo! But if they go too off the rails and the blink 182 “thing” is unrecognizable then that could be catastrophic! Hoping it’s is a success and, either way, I’ll give it a listen.

 

Blink-182 goes industrial, ya'll. I'm down.

 

Pretty sure this is exactly what @Jason Tate predicted on a podcast a couple years back and 100% sure this is what I want from them.

edit: assuming its not an edm polka record...

 

I'm all for experimentation from blink 182. John Feldmann being involved with said experimentation worries me tho. A huge part of me would love to know what blink would've become after the s/t in 2003 had Jerry Finn not passed.

 

Yeah if they want to experiment in the vein of the untitled album they should start by dropping John Feldmann imo.

 

Always excited for new blink but prefer songs like cynical and San Diego opposed to Los Angeles and bottom of the ocean.

 

Nothing sounds new or weird with Feldman. Most milquetoast production ever. I want to believe this but man.

 

Them or us?

 

Yes! Easily the two worst songs from the last album. Total trash, if I’m being honest.
