blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 162

So Travis is teasing 2 more tracks.

 

Sooo 2 more songs and 20 new vinyl variants with the digital album cover as the cover.

 

The drums being too loud on this album and these amateur remixes being a complete disrespectful nuisance can both be true at the same time.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with displaying a preference about mixing/production - it's part of the whole presentation. Shit like this ruins that discourse. It's like, you can think a painting is ugly but don't start adding your own shittier paint.

 

Wow yes!!

 

LOL

 

I still like it but yea I kinda agree. Compared to the rest of the songs it seems just a little half baked maybe? Even then The chorus will still get stuck in my head sometimes though haha

 

Outside of the joke songs and the interlude, When We Were Young is definitely my least favorite

 

I don’t really like Fell in Love. It’s fine but I can’t stand the pre chorus

 

There's been a trend of releasing deluxe versions on streaming services the past few years. So we'll probably get these two new songs on Friday... perhaps? Or perhaps a little later.

 

Yeah it stands out in the worst way possible. Clearly something they threw together for the announcement.

 

I skip ahead to Blink Wave once I get past More Than You Know

 

There are plenty of creative endeavors that benefit from having a lower barrier to entry but mixing and master is NOT one of them lol

 

Anyway the run from YDKWYG -> TURPENTINE is the true heart of the record imo

 

WWWY rips.

 

Album has no skips for me

 

My seven year old daughter has seen blink four times, though obviously the last tour was the first time she saw them with Tom.

Her favorite, number one with a bullet song on the new album is Fell In Love. She sings it with me every night before we fall asleep. Thankfully the edited version on Apple Music bleeps out some stuff and she can’t understand Tom anyway, so I sing, “how could I ever forget, laying in your bed, staying up all night, it’s messing with my head,” and she is crystal clear sure that those are the words.

They definitely aren’t only writing songs for people in their 20s and 30s. And I’ve made glorious peace with that.

 

She's wrong, it's 'my yead'

 

Why have I let the Pitchfork review annoy me.

 

What?! It’s cr-a-a-a-a-azy!!!

 

laughable review from a laughable publication

 

I am ashamed to share the same name as you.

 

WWWY is a highlight here lol. I think the Mark verse sounds a little phoned in actually, like work/jerk really? but the chorus and that crazy wind tunnel synth in the bridge absolutely rip

 

makes me want to sprint under city streetlights on a summer night

 

WWWY is one of the weaker songs within the context of the album. But the album fucking rules.

 

I don't like how Tom sings the chorus haha. Something about it just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe the song as a whole will grow on me eventually, but it hasn't yet.
