blink-182 - NINE (September 20, 2019) Album • Page 18

Word is bond

 

Left Alone, yes...

 

No Heart is so good.

 

As is Hungover You. Those two are top level blink songs.

 

Figured out the track-listing that works best for me. Nine tracks, 25 minutes, optimal content & flow.

- The First Time
- Darkside
- Heaven
- Pin the Grenade
- Generational Divide
- Black Rain
- No Heart to Speak Of
- Hungover You
- On Some Emo Shit

 

I've really been loving this record since it leaked. Probably listened like 10 times all the way through and been jamming my favorites constantly. Its definitely a bit bloated though. I'd cut it down by maybe 3 tracks. Cutting out Happy Days (too similar to Heaven and pretty shallow), BIOMY (doesn't really fit the vibe of the record imo), and On Some Emo Shit (Not a fan of the chorus sadly) I think would elevate this a bit for me overall.

 

Album debuts at #3 on the charts

Post Malone's 'Hollywood's Bleeding' Nets Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart; Zac Brown Band & Blink-182 Debut at Nos. 2 & 3

 

94k not bad at all. They didn’t have an album bundle for the tour did they?

 

They did

 

Every tour ticket came with album, as long as it was redeemed by the concert goer

 

Even with the bundle, not bad considering they really weren't clear at first on the rollout. Youth certainly did good but they nailed it with Bored To Death last time. I think Green Day was around 90k with Revolution Radio so this is probably about the average settling point you'd see without a huge hit.

 

Admittedly, it was either Nine OR Wayne's next album

 

Oh lol well still not bad. Plus I think the album will have long legs

 

Cutting out the closer? You should be in prison

 

Yeah - definitely needs to be in that list.

I find myself loving the second half of the album after Black Rain. The first half as some really corny bullshit. I know it's Blink, but I just avoid that aspect.

 

I think what I love most about this record is how well Skiba has been integrated into it. The biggest and best choruses on the record belong to him. Hungover You and No Heart To Speak Of are huuuuuuuge.

I super love this album. It'll end up in my top 5 by year's end unless a few more incredible records drop.

 

I can't stand Matt's verse. Sounds like pop country to me.

 

OK someone help me out here.... new James Arthur song ft Travis Barker is out today

...but there is a rapper on the song. Only the two of them are credited. Genius lists Travis as the one rapping. Someone help, what is going on here...

 

Well, it's absolutely not Travis Barker rapping. I know that much.

 

Exactly, haha. I can not find anywhere online who it is, which is bizarre, so I just needed my sanity checked

 

Maybe one of the writers or producer?

 

Hmmm, seems unlikely also
