blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 194

I finally got to hear the bonus tracks, not my cup of tea. Easily the worst songs on the album.

 

Fixed.

 

Yeah I've always been an album guy, I will never change the order or skip songs. Just feels wrong to me.

 

I’m also an album guy. But I’m also a to each their own guy and it just seems silly to pretend not being an album guy is wrong.

 

Conversely, we can pretend its wrong and get into fake arguments because we're bored.

 

I’ll bring up Neighborhoods again I swear I’ll do it lol

 

Imma listen however makes you happy type of guy… but personally never mess with a track-list, and am happy the band worked the two new songs in while leaving childhood as the closer, to me childhood just feels like it had to end the album so listening to the deluxe version feels like a more complete experience now.

 

I do have a playlist of like 15 songs from Cali deluxe that was my go to for awhile. But now I usually just listen to the proper album

Other than that This Addition is the only album I changed for my benefit. Not something I would prefer to do though

 

Ha! Your threats have no effect on me! I like Neighborhoods.

 

The only album I've ever reordered the tracklisting on is God Lives Underwater's Up Off The Floor, and that's only because I'd lived with the leak for so long before they officially put it out and I was used to the order of the leak. Plus ending with "Positivity" and not "Tricked" felt like a big mistake.

 

my daughter is as stoked as me

 

I’m an album guy and I wouldn’t have to remove songs if they would stop writing bad ones lol. Blink is the only band I do this with

 

Everybody ignored the context of doing it right after the album comes out. You can make playlists til your heart explodes with joy for all I care. But the people who just delete songs so fast is bizarre.

 

I don’t count listening to the version without Cut Me Off or See You as reducing the album.

 

I’d agree with that in this instance. My post was after reading that someone deleted Childhood.

 

I don’t think deleting tracks you don’t really like is ANY weird and wrong lol.
It’s not like I’m deleting them for everyone.

I’m pretty sure I got called out also for deleting Feel Good Right Now from the Fall Out Boy album ,song,that I had no desire listen again and never had ever since and I’m pretty sure I never will.

same with Childhood.Love the album but the song does literally nothing for me and I’d skip it every time just like Feel Good Right Now.

 

Yeah I don't care how anyone listens to music but I personally listen as the artist intended just because that's what I like

 

Think what you want. *shrug*

 

I don’t really care what anybody else does, but the idea of judging a body of work based on a consumer-modified version of that art is odd to me. I like receiving my art the way the artist deliberately put it out there, even if it doesn’t all work for me.

 

It deprives the song of the possibility of growing on you, is the only criticism I have of the practice. There are lots of songs that I felt nothing for the first time around and then hit me different later on.

 

*,,Do what you want” would be more like it

 

those were the days

 

I can't get into See You at all and Cut Me Off isn't holding up great the more I listen to it. I'll def just listen to the standard.

 

Exactly this. When "Fell In Love" came out I thought it was abysmal, and I still think it's easily the worst song on the album but it's already grown on me and I can't imagine playing the album without it.
