Only a few songs in but you can definitely hear the Boxcar Racer in Terrified. I love that we got that.
I'm too lazy to scroll back in the thread but does anyone else's Spotify still show "this is not our album cover" for OMT?
So backwards to say a Bl8nk song reminds me of NFG, but I just got to Bad Bad News and I heard NFG (Not a bad thing at all) LOVING the record so far... and Fell In Love is much better in context than a stand alone for me.... far exceeded expectations every step of the way so far. This sounds like the album between TOYPAJ and Untitled at times, and a direct sequel to Untitled at others.... im thrilled. Long live Blink!
Finally listening, on Terrified. I liked Fell In Love way more than I was lead to believe in here lol
There are so many moments on this that feel like so many of blink’s albums. I’m feeling Enema, TOYPAJ, Untitled, +44, BCR, and Lifeforms all throughout and doesn’t sound disconnected. It all sounds very connected and very well put together.
I wish I had a camera filming my face the first time I listened to this album. Wonder how many times I had genuine smiles.
Crazy how Mark references Holmdel NJ in Other Side. I saw Blink there in 2016 and 2019. It was also my Warped Tour stop every year.
I still can't get over how good this is in contrast to how low my expectations were. Like I'm seriously loving some of these songs.
I just finished (TWSS), and fuck me man... I pray this isn't the last Blink album, but I'd be happy if it was. Giving the boys their flowers on this one.... makes me want to erase 2011-2023 from the entire discography tbh, anc I like a lot from Cali and Nine, but like Travis said on Zane, it's UNDENIABLE that THIS IS BLINK. Viva la Blink! Ole Ole ole!
first play through front to back. this record has no business being this goddamn good. I’m immediately drawn to anthem pt 3, terrified, and bad news as stand outs. i can’t believe we get a BCR, AVA, and gorilla biscuits song on this album. didn’t have issue with any of the pre release singles, but I like every single one better in the context of the album. I love the massive swings like blink wave. I have a soft spot for edging. After hearing the entire album it was a killer choice to be the comeback song and the standalone track we got for a year. lots of good memories tied to that song. Dangerous how rad childhood back into anthem is. infinitely repeatable. what a time to be a blink fan.
