I never got around to listening to the two bonus tracks so I can slap them together with this and I've got a nice little 10 track album.

 

That's exactly what I was just thinking too, I never listen to the two of them with the main album, so there's canonically in part 2 in my brain already

 

I would've released "Can't Go Back."

 

ok

 

The bridge to All In My Head is very similar to Angels and Airwaves' Anxiety.

 

CCing @bradsonemanband - was this the one?

 

Yup, I think so!

 

Why are they so determined to pretend those b-sides are part of the real album, and slot them ahead of Childhood. It's super annoying.

 

it's also slightly organizationally annoying, One More Time, One More Time Deluxe and One More Time Part 2

 

Y'all know you can make playlists and put these in whatever order you want, right?

 

There's like 6 ways to fix it, it's just annoying it's now the 3rd time I've had to do it lol

 

Please feel bad for me. I'm suffering here.

 

The band obviously wants them there and thought of as part of the “real” album, so we should all just accept that they are and carry on lol

 

Mark Hoppus can come to my home and reset the track listing if he’d like, I’ll cook him dinner. But short of that, childhood will be moved back up lol

 

Once the new songs drop i’m just going to organize them like they have on the second vinyl. This satisfies me and I will not obsess over it further. Nope, definitely won’t.

 

When I originally downloaded Cut Me Off and See You, they automatically moved to the end of OMT for me so they’ve always been at the end

 

Didn't see this anywhere but they added the deluxe CD:

ONE MORE TIME… PART-2 (Softpack CD) - blink-182 Official Store (blink182merch.com)

Those bonus tracks are still slotted ahead of "Childhood" ugh!

 

After digesting Part 2, I had some thoughts:

No Fun: The verses in this are incredibly infectious. I originally had written this song off because of Tom's rhyming with "x"-teen again, but I find myself craving those verses and the prechorus. I actually really like the intro as well. It's pretty unique and is the type of "pushing the boundary" that I want to see them continue into. The chorus sadly is not my favorite and I feel like if it was something punchier like Natives or Hearts All Gone I'd like it a ton more.

All In My Head: The hotel line. Why does that deserve a Tom echo, haha. That line aside, I dig this song a lot mainly because of the catchy chorus. The verses are somewhat lacking but not bad.

Can't Go Back: This one I could see as the I Miss You of this album. I tend to love the more aggressive and fast blink, but I really love how this song flows. Mark and Tom playing off of each other will always be great in my ears. The chorus lyrics also remind me of something +44 Mark would say, so I'm happy we are getting some great writing from him again.

Every Other Weekend: My favorite song of this Part 2. When I did my original playthrough, I had to go back and listen to this one AGAIN because of how catchy it was and had me hooked immediately. Definitely feeling the Cure vibes in it and feels like the Always of Part 2. Windows down, end of summer, this song BLASTING. Give it to me.

Everyone Everywhere: I originally wrote this song off because of the chorus. I appreciate them trying some weird stuff with the heavier guitar and robot Mark. It's like the Fighting The Gravity in terms of gettin' experimental in the verses, but actually good. That last chorus with Mark in the background, snare tamed, and something with the guitar sounding more inviting(?) is epic.

If You Never Left: A safe choice by the boys in terms of them doing what they all do best. That chorus is super catchy. Blink song through and through and could honestly be plopped right onto TOYPAJ.

One Night Stand: This one is the one that has grown on me the most to likely be my favorite from this effort. The verse lyrics could use an upgrade, but I like the Mark hand off to Tom into that "do I run" prechorus. Chorus is great, too. This song could've easily worked on Untitled.

Take Me In: I think this song takes Tom's AVA side and marries it super well with blink. The bridge definitely could've been something different, but it is what it is now and I hate that it is the only thing I find myself singing from this song sometimes. Chorus is good not great but works well with the song and although it's not my favorite on the album, it is a nice little closer for Part 2.

Part 2 is now settling in with the original release and I'm just so happy we got this blink timeline. So many songs, so many tour dates, a second prime in their career and it's epic.

Part 1 and 2 officially live in a playlist called "blink One More Toime" which has become my weekly shuffle every few days; especially on flights.

 

no one talks about tom's little growl at the end of the intro of no fun. also, all in my head is probably my favourite blink song since stockholm syndrome.
