1. not ranking
2. Ranking

 

That's definitely not Tom's arm, but it's still a sick tattoo. It's making me consider getting a bunny tat too.

 

Only ranking I will entertain is rarities and b sides

 

1. I Won't Be Home For Christmas
2. Don't Tell Me That It's Over
3. Not Now
4. Zulu
5. Time to Break Up
6. Wrecked Him
7. What Went Wrong
8. Another Girl Another Planet
9. Life's So Boring

 

What went wrong is dangerously low

 

Really wish the TOYPAJ bonus tracks were on streaming

1. Untitled (2003)

 

"Edging" will be their biggest hit in the UK in a very long time. "First look" has it debuting at #15. I imagine it's more front-loaded than non-new releases, however, I find it hard to believe it won't be top 40 at least (in the end).

Also huge numbers in the US regarding Alternative Airplay, a format where they are staples, and a comeback after Nine singles had subpar performances. Already top 20 after just two days. Hope it reaches number one.

It also has a shot at entering the Hot 100. Maybe I'm even being cautious and it's more than likely it will... Could estimate better already if it was like the older days, when it was pretty much airplay + digital downloads. I stopped following the charts weekly by the time streaming started to count, and now have a hard time measuring that. I'm basing my thoughts on it being #13 on Spotify after its first day; the amount of Youtube views; going all way to the top on iTunes downloads... We'll see.

 

How do we make this the Christmas song of the year in the UK, like they did in Love Actually.

 

Only problem is the brick wall known as Taylor Swifts Midnight that everything will run into in two weeks.

 

I'm fully in loving this song territory now

But I wish it wasn't called Edging

 

"Ghosting" would be a fitting title. I don't mind "Edging", though.

 

It's Blink-182, not Led Zeppelin.

 

Or go full generic and just call it The Brokenhearted

 

So shocker…he doesn’t like “Edging” lol

 

Guy from Rufio made a cover

 

The TOYPAJ wiki has this very weird sentence: "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket continues the pop-punk tone that Blink-182 had honed and made famous, albeit with a heavier post-hardcore sound inspired by bands such as Fugazi and Refused."

Which parts of TOYPAJ could be described as "post-hardcore"? Lol

 

The increased used of texture and electronica on the refused side. Also it does have a little more edge and emotional depth than Enema.

 

How does it have more emotional depth? The lyrics are mostly trash. I guess people would point to Stay Together for the Kids, but Enema has Adam's Song.

 

They probably at some point said they were inspired by Fugazi or listened to a lot of Fugazi while recording and then someone made this out of it

 

some of the riffing on some of the songs is giving fugazi imo, it's not completely off base

 

I know Fugazi and Refused got brought up with the Untitled record. I wanna say in Alt Press, someone def just got mixed up with their info

 

I love Scott Sellers
