blink-182 - NINE (September 20, 2019) Album • Page 13

This is so much closer to the album I wanted to hear from Matt, Mark, and Travis. I'm real happy with this

 

The only songs I'm still not huge on are BIOMY and I Really Wish I Hated You. Happy Days works better for me in the context of the album. Ransom start out kinda not great with the autotune but the strong second half saved it. My Early Favorites are Black Rain, No Heart To Speak Of, On Some Emo Shit, and Remember To Forget Me.

 

On Some Emo Shit night be the best song here, really wish it had a different name

 

No Heart is still my favorite song, but the bridge of Emo Shit is probably my favorite moment on here

 

Aside for the some reason stellar vocal performances and the even better drumming than usual (jfc Travis hihowareyou) I am having a hard time understanding why people are so stoked about this album.

 

As someone who was ultimately disappointed with California, this is miles better.

 

It’s good, I’m not even going to pretend it isn’t. But I guess I expected a more exciting album after the reactions in the threads.

Darkside still slaps so there’s that.

 

I dig this album but I’d for sure love to see them go even more towards a post-punk/experimental sound

 

Hot take: BIOMY is the best single and a top 3 song on this.

 

I respect the heat level of this take, but I world argue it's probably the worst song on the record.

 

Something more like the Untitled album?

 

You can see yourself out.

 

Matt Skiba Replaces Tom Delonge to Lead Area 51 Raid

 

First: Rabbit Hole for life. It's the only track on Cali where the gang vocals and whoa's actually work, the lyrics are appropriate for the age of the members in the band, and the bass work throughout the track is supreme.

Second: It would have been cool if NINE was the first album they released with Matt.

 

Listened to this twice while mowing my lawn yesterday. I absolutely love about every other song on here. I love the BIOMY to GD sequence, also the best standouts that I remember are Heaven, Black Rain, and Ransom.

After listening to I Really Wish I Hated You when it released as a single, I was meh on it but for some reason now, it's been constantly stuck in my head

 

Yeah, I wasn’t really into IRWIHY when it came out but I like it more within the album and then seeing them play it live on the Spotify thing made me like it more. I still really enjoy BIOMY a lot too. Still not sure I would’ve picked those songs as singles though.

Happy Days might be my least favorite track on the album too.

 

Did your copy come without happy days?

 

Happy Days was my favorite prerelease track and still one of my favorite from the album

 

I really wish they would’ve extended the ending of Black Rain it’s so damn good

 

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. I really wish I hated you, on some emo shit, hungover you, no heart to speak of are my early favorites.

 

Yes, I love this album. I woke up and the first thing I wanted to do was press play on The First Time

 

You're right. No Heart into Remember is a great way to close things out. My current version is this:

- The First Time
- Heaven
- Darkside
- Generational Divide
- Black Rain
- Pin the Grenade
- On Some Emo Shit
- Hungover You
- No Heart to Speak Of
- Remember to Forget Me

 

Also, this album is great to listen to on a run.
