I believe so!

 

I was so confused by the part where he was talking about Tom quitting the second time because my brain is remembering things backwards. I thought Mark called out Tom a lot in the first breakup and was fairly nice about it the second time. Seems like the opposite based on his interview.

 

I mean he straight up released No It Isn't on Tom's bday lol. But he and Travis both were more blunt the second time

 

The way I remember it is that Tom had a lot of things to say when AvA was getting off the ground so everyone kept pressing Mark and Travis to talk about the break up, but they mainly kept quiet. They did release "No, It Isn't" which was clearly a shot at Tom, but it was quite a while before Mark finally started doing interviews where he was brutally honest. He was more or less actively avoiding talking about blink/Tom.

The second time around, Tom's departure announcement was basically paired with a Rolling Stone article where they blasted him lol

 

Man... Wish my vinyl had shipped already. Cant find the album anywhere.

 

Yeah same. I haven't really been digging much for it online but everyone's reactions are getting me so hyped up. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

 

Am I going to spoil anything if I watch the Zane interview before I listen to the record? Might hold off on listening until tomorrow because it got late..

 

IMO, no you won't spoil anything. No music clips, some talk of the new album, but nothing I'd really call a spoiler. Some descriptions of a few things, but more about the history of the songs.

 

There’s no song clips and they talk about a few tracks, but not enough for it to be considered a spoiler. You’re good!

 

^ that’s happened several times now where we’ve posted the same thoughts at the same time in blink threads lol

Wait until Friday when I post my 25k word review seconds before you!!

 

fighting words! Haha.

 

Just finished the Zane interview, as someone who lives for every morsel there is about Jerry Finn, loved those stories.

 

Y'all got any more of them PMs?

 

My kingdom for a PM

 

Anyone use this website for album art? iTunes Artwork Finder by Ben Dodson

Maybe i'm very late to the party, but if you search the artist and album you can get the high-res art directly from iTunes uncompressed.

 

Anyone know if there’s a Japanese bonus track or not? I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer.

 

I've tried waiting but everyone is so hyped and I'm way too excited. If someone can throw a PM my way, it would be greatly appreciated.

as the great philosopher Ringo Starr once said, "Peace and love, peace and love"

 

No bonus track

 

Sorry - I'm ready for a PM thanks in advance my dears

 

Zane interview was great. Loved their explanation of the album rollout. Jerry finn stuff was great. Glad they talked a bit about skiba. I know people in here don't like those albums but I think as blink fans we should appreciate that he stepped in and kept mark engaged with blink.

 

I've looked high and low on the dark web and have failed miserably to find it...

Please sir, I want some more (PM with a hook up pretty please)

Edit: I have been taken care of. Thank you

 

X2 :(

 

Blink Wave shouldn't be that good lol

 

Okay I lied before…

Just had my first listen on vinyl and gonna watch the Zane interview now.

Holy fuck, everything I wanted from a blink record in 2023. I recorded some first impressions and will try to post a cringey reaction video tomorrow for y’all.

 

I know there is an album thread but there is too much to catch up on there for now and I'm too lazy tonight...

Having listened to the whole thing now I will say this: Wow, what a ride. The whole thing felt so special. I had chills almost the whole time. The boys are definitely back. If TOYPAJ had sex with untiled and had a baby.... One More Time .

I don't smoke, but I think I need a cigarette haha.
