blink-182 Band • Page 1251

theyre gettin that dub tonight!

 

exactly haha

those 4 albums are kind of just locked in their little box for me, and then everything that's come out since then has their own place that's split off from those ones.

 

You came in bitching about something so small and irrelevant for no reason. Which most of us do at times. Just move on.

 

For those who missed:

- Travis wrote the hook. Thought about it writing about blink, what blink really experiences, rather than a popular/single type song
- Mark wrote all the verses
- Tom: It encapsulates what Mark has went through, what the band went through, we're so blessed and grateful to have this, and it's Mark saying he's so blessed and grateful to have his life here, to experience it.
- Zayn reiterates it's their best album and stands by it

 

Eh, I’d put Nine over Dude Ranch. But I do think this album is shaping up to boot Dude Ranch out of the top 5.

 

Suggested drinking game for the Zane Lowe interview: take a shot every time Zane says or implies to this being blinks best album

 

This song for whatever reason might have had the best initial reaction from me out of all of these singles. Just such a powerful, yet quintessential, blink song. Emotional but also easy to listen to.

 

Amazing song. I really appreciate grounded and detailed lyrics from them, as opposed to writing around general ideas like love

 

"Dammit" was the first Blink song I'd ever heard. I caught the last minute or so of its music video one night, but it never said who it was or the song's name or anything. And it was before I could just Google the lyrics to find out. So I just moved on and never heard it again, although the hook was stuck in my head for a long time after that.

Then I heard "What's My Age Again?" by a band called Blink-182, and that changed my life. And I counted down the days until Enema came out. They became my favorite band immediately. After I wore that CD out, I went backwards through their discography, starting with Dude Ranch. On the cover, it had a hype sticker saying it contained "Dammit (Growing Up)" and I was like "Wait a minute... Could that be THE song I saw the video for a couple years ago???" and I put the CD in, jumped right to track 3, and BAM! It was THE song I'd been dying to hear a second time for like 2 years. It felt like fate.

Enema and Dude Ranch will always be connected, to me, because of that memory.

 

Professional sunshine-up-the-ass-blower lol

 

For me, I got into both albums at the same time basically. There’s just far more on Dude Ranch that doesn’t hold up as well or doesn’t generally appeal to me as it did at age 13. Like Dammit was one of the first songs I learned on bass and then guitar. I just think the band got better and better before the first break up.

 

I think it’s unrealistic to expect anything this late in the discography to disrupt those 4. If anything, nostalgia is always going to win out. It’s probably why i’m even ranking this as high as I am above Nine (which I love).

 

It’s not unrealistic. I already have done it. Look at me now, dad!

 

Nine over DR is absolutely insane lol

 

Thought Zane interview comes out at 1PM EST? Not a trace of it on Apple Music yet

 

Yeah but when YDKWYG premiered he played a little interview clip talking to them about the song

edit: he also just said it's coming to Youtube as well as Apple Music

 

While I appreciate the sentiment of the song, it's by far my least favorite single. I don't mind redundant choruses, but this one bothers me for some reason. And the music is just too reminiscent of multiple other Blink songs. Regardless, to not like one out of six singles, I'll take that .833 batting average.

 

Untitled, Dude Ranch and Enema are my untouchables. As much as TOYPAJ was the peak blink times, I don't come back to it as much as those three or Nine

 

Love the song. Agree that it has heavy +44 vibes.

That bridge really elevates it too. Amazing how after Neighborhoods & Dogs Eating Dogs having the laziest bridges ever, they've done a complete 180 on this album. All the bridges have been killer!


(well except title track and Fell in Love, which just don't have a bridge at all lol)

 

Reminder that Feldmann gets credit for getting them to write bridges again

 

Where did you watch this?

 

Zayne's radio show is on apple music radio 1 right now. He premiered the song at the top of the hour and played an interview clip talking about the song and is now playing other stuff until the interview airs in ~7min.

 

Song is great. Anyone hear Bored to Death a bit in that intro?

 

it reminded me a little bit of San Diego but I can see BTD as well.
