Now that my review is queued up, I looked at some other reviews, here's what I've seen so far: Album review: blink-182 – ONE MORE TIME… | Kerrang! Blink-182 - 'One More Time' review: a surprisingly touching reunion Blink-182: One More Time review — one for hardcore fans only https://readdork.com/albums/blink-182-one-more-time/ Most feel like light first listen passes describing broad strokes of the album. (That Times review specifically sucks though.)
Decided to hold off on listening to the leak as I’m doing a blink-verse music video countdown to 12 eastern. 90 minutes to go!
God I hope so… Spotify has a countdown. I’m in central time zone but it’s showing me it’ll drop at 11p CST
My wife learned this album opens with Anthem Part 3, so she asked me to play her the first 2 parts back to back. I knew I married her for a reason.
I dont hear any NINE in the new album. Maybe a little California. My take is that the fact you have Mark doing vocals in the same song as Tom makes the Tom parts so much more impactful than just an AvA song. Likewise Tom provides an interesting dynamic that delivers so much more than the Mark/Skiba dynamic. They compliment each other so well. It's just beautiful to my ears.
Tomorrow’s gonna be a long, busy day for me at work so I’m not staying up to listen, but knowing this is waiting for me at the end of it will be what gets me through the day. Super excited. Happy blinkmas, everyone.
When I told my girlfriend that there’s an Anthem Part 3 on the album, she put it in her calendar to listen to the first two on her way to work tomorrow, then we’re going to listen to the new album in the car on the way back to my hometown tomorrow afternoon.
None of these review are doing a good job at all capturing why blink is such a pivotal band in the punk scene - really missing a lot of context as to why this record is so important in 2023
i dont wanna pay to read it, what's the jist of their review? the title sounds like they be drinking haterade!
