I didn’t mean they were recorded after the sessions, I meant they probably thought the digital deluxe album would be a good idea to push sales last minute and used those songs. But seeing that tracklist I was probably wrong. I still think the songs are weaker than any other song on the album. The TOYPAJ stuff is an assumption based on several interviews and stuff from back in the day.
The last 45 seconds of Anthem Pt 3 make me want to cry harder than I’ve ever cried in my life and jump higher than I’ve ever been at a pit in a show. My heart rate goes through the roof when “it’s MY” kicks in. I literally don’t know if I could handle seeing it live. I haven’t taken good enough care of my body to experience it the way it demands.
I love both b-sides as much as the album. I’m so greedy just give me all the blink and I’ll love it. Still in the “no skips” phase of this album.
The only thing that bugs me about Edging is that Tom’s vocals sound so different from the rest of the album. Like it doesn’t have the same filter or something. It’s jam though and was awesome when I saw them live.
I really hope Travis keeps producing for blink, not only because I like how it sounds but because I think he's more driven than Mark or Tom, and I think we get more music this way lol
You don’t know what you’ve got really has become one of my favorites on here, and the bridge is a top three moment
Agreeing hard on this, the album sounds great to my ears through about 4 different systems. Really not getting the complaints about the production at all. Plus it's pretty awesome that he just took it upon himself to do the work. Between that and singing on this album, it seems like he feels more secure or confident about what he can do, with and for the band, and I love that!
This One Life One Chance podcast Travis did has been really interesting. Its super long, has been taking my entire workday to sneak in some listens. I wanna hear that original version of One More Time with the long instrumental ending!
Maybe if they do a deluxe version of the album (like California Deluxe) they might? As the earlier post pointed out, they have enough unreleased songs from this session to do a double album. I hope we're lucky and hear the rest of the songs some day.
I know it's been touched on a few times in this thread, but the idea that bedroom Reddit'ers believe their techniques and knowledge of what the general public wants to hear in a mix is astounding to me. I'm not an engineer/specialist by any means, but the mix is fine on this album as is. Good. Clean. A few muddy parts sure, nothing that requires "fixing" though. Travis killed it.
Does it detail how they went about making it? because that would be hilarious to read. edit: jk, found it!
This sounds like ass. The guitars sound way too loud and you can barely even hear the vocals. Sounds like he just turned the volume down a bit and then cranked the mids. Haha. Fail.
