blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 117

It’s beyond me how they choose Edging and Fell In Love over the tracks above. If I heard those as singles - I would have been way more hyped lol

 

old ass Rolling Stones ... fuck outta here.

 

Exactly. Those two singles perplex me.

I guess I get Edging. It's an ear worm. But I still don't love it.

 

Idk what else they even had done at the time they released Edging. It definitely wouldn't surprise me if it was the first or only song done at the time they had to announce their comeback

 

JFC I hate Apple Music so much sometimes. I subscribe to Apple Music and was able to play the album earlier today in Dolby Atmos. I then also purchased the digital album and it auto downloaded at out the album in my library. Fine, no biggie. But now I can’t play the thing in Dolby Atmos anymore. I can’t download it and play it in DA either. I then delete it from my library and try to “stream” it and it’ll only play in Lossless. I have DA “Always On” and “Download in DA” enabled. I’m about to throw my goddamn phone into the street…

 

The songs sound so much better as a whole album. Such a cohesive album. I haven’t been this taken with an album since idk 2006

 

edging is probably my least favorite song on this. wild it was the lead single.

 

Counter-point, they better reflect the "edges" of the record sonically, without releasing CHILDHOOD as a single

 

At least the Spotify version is the same as the leak

 

so weird.. maybe it has something to do with Apples Dolby Atmos.

 

Okay, Childhood has grown on me. Not a top 5 but a solid closer for sure.

 

Not now, Grimace. We're trying to get our boys a high chart position.

 

audibly laughed out loud in my office reading this

 

Relevant to Jason's review, a couple days ago I actually found the tape my friend made to get me into blink:

 

My spotify vinyl has arrived, and it sure is pretty!

But a lot of the lyrics on the insert are wildly wrong lol

 

Warning, molten hot take incoming: I think this is fine overall. I'd say like 10/17 tracks are keepers for me which I think is a pretty good hit rate at this point. They did some cool stuff on songs like Blink Wave, Turpentine, Terrified and it worked well for me. Some others I don't need to hear ever again tbh.

 

Had my very first listen in the car last night on the way home from TWY in Boston. Had a big grin on my face the whole time. Can't wait to spend more time with it.

 

This is most nostalgic blink has been with the callbacks: anthem, angels, boxcar.

also, some of the lyrics (among other things) make me really question if mark is truly cancer free…

 

I think you may have narcissistic tendencies.

 

I like how Anthem pt 3 has major Lagwagon influences

 

Tom throws in a solid “yead” in Anthem Part 3.. very grateful for that.

 

I heard that and immediately said "Tom is so fucking back"

 

This is my take after my first few listens. It feels like they took mostly all of the right lessons from everything they've done, both as blink and with their other projects, over the last 25 years and brought it together into this.
