blink-182 Band • Page 1450

yeah, i agree. those first 2 songs are weak. "the first time" is easily their weakest opener, in my opinion.

 

No Grammy noms for One More Time.

 

Honestly surprised, some of those noms made no sense since they got no hype like the new Black Crowes record. Rooting for Green Day or Jack White

 

Wow I am actually very surprised by this

 

Not only that, but then they toured EOTS once it was released so whatever little momentum it did have, was crushed shortly after as well.

 

Nine has pretty high highs, but also some of the most forgettable bland songs in Blink's entire catalog (Happy Days, Blame It On My Youth, Run Away, Hungover You...)
California on the other hand, while far from my favorite Blink album, is just a fun listen. Aside from Teenage Satellites there isnt anything I reach to skip on there. It was a great summer time album.

 

On Some Emo Shit rules!

 

haha why the hell would that Green Day album be nominated over Blink??? that doesn't make any sense to me.

also, I'm kinda over the Jack White praise. he gets nominated just because his name is on it. and why is Pearl Jam and the Rolling Stones even on here? the Grammy's are really scraping the bottom of the barrel rather than grabbing what's on top haha.

 

The Enema tour ended the day Nine was released. That Enema tour was supposed to be the Nine tour until the album got delayed because they kept working on it.

 

Have you listened to Jack White's new album? It's such a fun listen. Of his past 5 releases this is the one I thought absolutely deserved a nomination.

 

Blame it on my Youth is the only Nine song I like lol. So fun to see different takes on same albums.

 

Nah, I haven’t listened to it.

 

This is where I’m at. California was a more fun time for the band than the Nine era - but I absolutely prefer Nine as an album

 

There are tracks I really like from both Nine and California but neither album works as a whole for me

 

Give it a listen. Also, the no frills punk rock approach to the tour he’s doing for it this year is remarkable. Something I wish Blink would try

Why is Darkside catching a stray lol

Play them both Mark

 

Play literally either of them

 

Things that'll never happen: I wish Travis would do some drum playthroughs of Nine songs

 

I don’t think Darkside would go over well in a live setting with Tom, but that’s just me. He’s a great fit for Cynical and Bored to Death but I don’t think he can pull off all of the Matt songs.

 

Fuck, that makes me so happy and hopeful. Love this new era for these guys.

 

"On this day, 4 hours ago, Tom DeLonge announced that there would be plans for a new blink-182 album"

 

“And said it would be their best album ever.”
