blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 184

Blink putting deluxe edition tracks within the original track list bothers me nearly as much as people who resequence and cut songs from albums. Sorry everyone!

 

I'm just going to keep blabbing. A lot of people have been saying that the Tom heaviness on this album is making up for the last two albums that Tom wasn't on. But when you think about it, Mark was hardly on the last two albums plus DED. I don't know. I was happy when Tom left the second time because it meant that we could get more Mark. And then we got more Mark in California and Nine. So now that Mark has been pushed to the background, it's leaving another bad taste in my mouth like before. I feel like I can forgive this album just because Tom was out of the band for so long. But if the next album is like this then .... there's not just no excuse. I don't know why this pisses me off so much, but it does. I was just starting to get used to the Tom heaviness on the album and now we have two more Tom heavy songs. Damn....

 

People find so many weird things to get worked up about. Sometimes I’m glad I’m ignorant of music production.

 

Mark did not get pushed to the background lol. this is dumb

 

neither could I, but I closed the app and opened again and they were there.

 

I can't explain it but I don't like Anthem Part 3 being a single. The 'Anthems' have felt like they've been best as album tracks- childish I know.

 

Tom’s also a more creative singer, so I like that he takes a lot of the leads. Mark intertwines so well.

 

Mark is all over this album.

 

How not? List me the songs that Mark leads and then list me the songs that Tom leads. I'll wait.

 

Not as much as Tom. Not by far. Especially with these three new songs. Remember when it used to be equal? Then self-titled came. Or untitled. Or whatever.

 

The original is still there

 

Singing time is like 15m Tom and 13m Mark. Don’t be a moron. Someone did a breakdown

 

Can we start voting people off the island?

 

They sing the chorus together in almost every single song, you just hear Tom more cause he’s the higher octave. Yeah Tom does a little more here, but let’s not act like Mark is missing

 

We're 132 pages in and I haven't complained about a single thing. Let me have this one, okay?!

 

It's not a single though, is it? The only songs at radio have been Edging and One More Time.

 

So the new songs get added to the album on Apple Music and the album is no longer in Dolby Atmos? I’m confused

 

It’s been 22 years since they did the back and forth thing. It’s ok to move on.

 

Okkkkk also like the songs worked in!

 

Uhhh those two new songs are good. Woah.

 

See You is giving untitled vibes

 

I mean, yea, they used to switch songs vocally. And yea, untitled was a big change and Neighborhoods all the more. But this album feels way more collaborative as they are mostly both on every song. As someone said above, both of them sing most of the choruses. Having these two reforge their friendship and be open to both being on pretty much all the tracks singing together is fucking awesome. I hear Mark everywhere. I hear Tom everywhere. Hell, we even get some Travis. It rules.

 

Probably cuz it’s the same chord progression as “down” haha

 

I'm gonna be real mad if Apple Music pushes them in front of childhood
