Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1448

Nine is so good

 

Nine is waaay better than California.

 

Neither are good tbf

 

I mean, I’m judging within the context of blink.

 

I'm ashamed to admit this, but this is a safe place...right? I never really gave Neighborhoods much ear time because I didn't care for the single Up All Night, nor the song people went crazy for (GOTDF). But wow, did I miss Even If She Falls. That song is such a proper happy but not too poppy song. Tom...Tom I'm Pregnant!

 

After a little time away from it, I started revisiting NINE. Definitely the album I wanted from them when they announced Skiba taking Tom’s place. I have also been revisiting Neighborhoods and that album is completely underrated. I’ll always miss Tom, but I’m still happy with the bands output.

 

California is still the better summer album to me

 

I’m a sucker for Wishing Well - it’s modern Tom at his hokiest, but I love it. And the music video for After Midnight might be one of the most beautiful thinks this band has done.

 

Conspiracy theory...

What if since California cycle Tom knew he was getting a divorce...What if he "quit" blink so that it looks like he isn't earning much. What if Mark and Travis are in on it. What if that's why Matt always says "tom will be back." What if an alien actually flew into my butt?

 

Well of course! NINE is a fall album!

 

I think the last sentence of this post probably has the most truth to it.

 

Nine is still great to me. When it first came out I played it very heavily so I kind of took a break from it and now when I listen to it it's still amazing to me.

 

ditto

 

I took a break for a bit, I played it almost nonstop for like a month or two so I had to listen to other shit for awhile. Went back to it today, still slams, still love it, still my favorite thing they've put out since untitled

 

I took a break for a while and still love it. I've started to like Youth a lot where it is on the album too. I tell myself I'm not crazy about Happy Days but I rarely even skip that

 

Honestly, I was still loving the album all the way up until the drama with the collaboration happened which left a sour taste in my mouth. I just kind of lost my enthusiasm and stopped listening to it at that point.

But for what it's worth, I still think it's 10x better than California. I liked California for what it was when it came out, but once the novelty wore off I never felt the need to go back to it.

 

This summarizes my thoughts pretty perfectly.

 

I love NINE still, but I'm off the Blink hype train right now. I've been going on Trio run since the tour announcement with Bad Religion.

 

I love nine and I still listen to it daily! But I love both California and nine equally! And look forward to what they have coming in the future. Still love this band

 

they are back in the studio but no one knows for what

 

With Matt Malpass unfortunately

 

That iheart radio thing blink is playing, opener to closer:

Billie Eilish
Blink
Rex Orange County
Coldplay
Shaed
Lumineers
Black Keys

Have concerts changed since I went to one if Billie is playing first lol

 

That is a really weird ordering of acts, but that is a big group.

Funny enough, blink & Billie are doing a joint M&G before the show, haha.

But yeah, the more logical lineup would be:

Shaed
Rex Orange County
Lumineers
Blink
Black Keys
Billie Eilish
Coldplay

 

Do you know if this will be streaming online?

 

I don't know anything else about it yet, just saw those set times listed on an Insta story
