blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 133

I tried ranking the songs with the lil ranker tool til I got the Bad News vs. Blink Wave matchup and nope'd right outta there. can't do it.

 

Why are we discussing this album in the OMT thread literally ONE day after it came out

This is actual sinning

 

I get Mark’s verse from When We Were Young stuck in my head a lot.

 

This you?

 

That cornball intro/post-chorus melody does the song no favors, but Fell In Love really does feel like the bridge between First Date and Always

 

As a HUGE When I Was Young fan...it's pretty damn close between the two,

 

It was brought up multiple times before, hence that statement.

 

Idk feels like a solid week to reevaluate my entire relationship with Blink as they embark on the next chapter lol

 

Ok let's change the subject. I want an entire Blink Wave EP dammit!

 

@Jason Tate Just read your whole review... I think I fully agree with the sentiments.

 

Certainly wasn't aiming to inspire lists of people's faves off that album but

 

Would buy

 

Yes

 

That quiet guitar bit before the climax of anthem part 3…it’s such a weird timing and I can’t find the tempo before Tom says “It’s my…”

 

Side B of this album absolutely fucks

 

Accurate

 

I keep switching my clear coke bottle vinyl and the spotify one just for funsies

 

Got my red and white marble today. Still waiting on the cassette

 

Did anyone get the lenticular version from Blood Records? Was it not shrink wrapped? Surprised it seemed to come without any and a bit damaged as a result..

 

I’m guessing the When We Were Young Festival isn’t streaming anywhere?

 

Green Day have 2 albums that sold more than any blink album, and they came out either side of Blink's original 'prime' run. They have 30m monthly streams v 20m (on spotify). They are in another league live. I don't think it sucks to be them at all.
That said this blink album has the creative energy and passion that Green Day have lacked/avoided for a long time and I hope it can provide some inspiration for Green Day moving forward.

 

Sad to watch such a wonderful joke fly over so many heads

 

We are in the people doing “I turned down the drums on the songs” posting stage of Reddit now. Might be my least favorite modern trend.

 

How would one even do that if they wanted to lol

Also imagine turning down the only technically talented musician in the band?

 

I'm so confused by the complaints that Travis's drums are too loud and that you can barely hear their voices. Seems well balanced to me. I just don't like how the instruments sound computer generated, but that's a separate discussion
