Ok I feel stupid for just realizing the “my old(?) shit ends here tonight” is the same vocal delivery as “if we’re fucked up you’re to blame” from anthem pt 2
It’s wild to me how much attention these guys and album are going to get from me over other bands coming out with new music. Like, I almost don’t even care about other music as much because I was just given the only thing I ever really wanted. Thanks, blink.
Just read @Jason Tate ’s review. Really hammered home how important this band is, especially in the sense of how accessible they’ve always been. Funny enough, I also discovered Blink through my best friend, Ryan, back in 99. We got together last night and ran through the album together and both agreed that this is the closest we’ve felt to music in years. It just feels like fucking home.
This is how I feel for More Than You Know and the end of Anthem Pt 3 also. The latter would have been more triumphant like Welcome To The Black Parade. Doesn’t stop them from being my favorite songs on the album though.
I came into work this afternoon and nobody else is here and I'm just BLASTING this album in my office. Punk AF.
I expected a bit more and they may still get there (115-125k), but these are solid numbers. Hope it's enough for #1... "Major rock albums from blink-182 and The Rolling Stones will lead the week in debuts. Can either catch Drake’s For All The Dogs (OVO/Republic) which gets the edge today to return to #1 with 109-115k? Could Bad Bunny also be in the mix for a repeat? Stay tuned. blink-182 (Columbia) 95-105k The Rolling Stones (Geffen) 75-85k Fuerza Regida (Rancho Humilde/Street Mob/Sony Latin) 30-35k" https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=338105&title=THESE-NEW-RELEASES-ROCK
Will be interesting to see the split of actual sales in these figures. I'm expecting that they and the Stones will be higher than drake and Bad Bunny who will be like 95%+ streams.
Yes, those are solid numbers. If this was 2011 (when Neighborhoods did 151k), there's no way this wouldn't reach 200k plus. But sales have plummeted and rock bands never have great streaming figures.
