    The HAG Interlude was an alternate version of HAG. They liked the other faster version better so used that for the album but decided to keep the instrumentals of this on the because they liked it and kind of a call back to having an interlude to the Untitled album.

    Kaleidoscope, while I like, feels like it's just missing something. It feels like an unfinished demo waiting to be heard by a producer once they get into the studio to help finish/polish it up during recording sessions. I actually think you can say that about 80% of the songs on the album that's why I feel like this is simply a blink demo album because the songs just feel half baked and there's no real direction to them.

    This was (obviously) their first work without Finn, right? Did they have a producer at all?

    It was their first album they did without Jerry, yes. They self produced it (and it shows).

    And they were in different rooms, different countries at times trying to slap it together. And it shows.

    It will always remind me of junior year and September. I remember being SO pumped I got to actually experience a new blink album while in high school. blink was the anthem of my literal entire life leading up to then lol.

    Yeah it's not a shock that the better songs on the album were the ones they actually worked on together in the same room at the same time for those 2 weeks or so they were together. I think I heard/read somewhere that they only were together working on the album for maybe a month or so. The rest was sending files back and forth. If they didn't have to cancel that European tour and forced to finish the album by the record label we wouldn't have gotten After Midnight, Kaleidoscope and two other songs that escape me at the moment.

    I'm glad that This Is Home wasn't titled Anthem Part 3 which was a big rumor back in 2011 before the album was released. Such a bad song.

    Yeah I think one of them was Wishing Well. Tom wrote it while sitting in the parking lot of his kids school waiting for them to get out for the day.

    Imagine Neighborhoods without After Midnight, Wishing Well, Natives and Kaleidoscope? Yikes.

    I feel like I recall Tom saying he didnt know it was left off the album and was mad about it .

    'Not Now isn't on the album? Fuck you guys, I'm going to look for aliens'
     
  19. Idk why but not only does this not surprise me, but it just fuels my thought that Tom has no idea what’s ever going on. Ughhhh


    I believe Travis recorded the drums one piece at a time on the bus while touring with the transplants. I always thought that was so cool. If you listen to it, it’s actually impossible for him to play that song exactly how it is on the record. Pretty sick.

    I find that really hard to believe that he wouldn't know that unless it was a record label decision that the band wasn't informed of beforehand.

    Also apparently DeVoe lobbied for this to be the lead single for greatest hits, and Mark/Travis camp argued for Another Girl, Another Planet with DeVoe winning in the end.
     
  24. So tacked on to the untitled album on Google Play music is Anthem part 2 live in Chicago and Tom sounds really good on it. Does anyone know if this was cleaned up to make it sound better?
     
  25. You answered your own question. ;-p
