blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 82

I have gone back and “unliked” it

 

Noted haha

 

Blink Wave!!!! This song is so addicting. Love it

 

I've never been a huge Blink fan, but man, I feel like this album is coming out at the perfect time. The world could use their upbeat, lighthearted, yet poignant music right about now. It's like a much needed sonic warm hug from a forgotten friend.

 

Hey, here's to you, Flor-i-daaa-uhhh

 

Oh damn, my preorder just updated on Shop with tracking and should be here Saturday. No shipping email or anything.

 

Here's what ChatGPT spit out. Prompt was: write a review of a blink-182 album called 'one more time'

Blink-182's album "One More Time," featuring Matt Skiba, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker as members alongside Tom DeLonge, is a remarkable addition to the band's discography, showcasing a blend of nostalgic elements and a fresh, revitalized sound. Skiba's inclusion breathes new life into the band's dynamic, with his distinctive vocals and guitar work complementing Mark Hoppus' and Travis Barker's contributions seamlessly. DeLonge's return adds a thrilling twist, as his unique voice and guitar skills provide an exciting contrast to the Skiba-Hoppus synergy, resulting in a multifaceted sonic experience that fans have longed for.

"One More Time" explores themes of growing up, facing life's challenges, and even moments of introspection. The band retains its knack for crafting catchy hooks and infectious melodies, but they've also pushed their musical boundaries, experimenting with diverse song structures and instrumentation. This evolution not only keeps the album fresh but highlights the band's willingness to embrace change while staying true to their roots. With a mix of high-energy anthems and emotionally charged ballads, "One More Time" is a testament to Blink-182's enduring relevance and their capacity to adapt and evolve while retaining their essential spirit. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to relive the glory days of pop-punk while experiencing the band's exciting new chapter, which bridges the gap between their past and the promising future with both Skiba and DeLonge on board.

 

I too am a longtime lurker asking for a leak. Would appreciate it greatly.

 

Childhood though... What a closing track and way to wrap up the emotions.

Here you go, don’t tell anyone tho!

 

I see you @imthegrimace

 

I deserve all the smoke but still shamelessly hoping someone will come through.

 

what up?

 

I jumped in thinking OMT had dropped early, but realised what it was and dropped everything I was doing to chuck my headphones in and listen. The birth of my child can wait.

 

This made me click the link. I regret it.

 

Listening to Father of All as a break in between listening to this for the last two hours nonstop…

you don’t know what you got until it’s gone

 

I'm listening to OMT as a break from my endless repeat cycle of FOAM, as it should be.

 

The good news is it's no longer Tom's last LP with blink! Legacy repaired lol


Caved and gave everything new one listen. Like TOYPAJ with what they learned from Untitled. That's a great place to be.

Other Side early favorite. And everybody spot on how Bad News is a great NFG song in every way. 2023 and Tom has made great blink songs. Miraculous.

 

I feel like @Jason Tate is a proud dad watching his kids open up their Christmas gifts.

 

It’s not fair that some of you still get this Xmas gift after 16 months of insolent complaining about every teased drop being just a studio pic.

 

Nah I Grandpa Joe'd this one. Layed in bed for a long time doing fuck all but complaining about studio pics/delays and heresay, and today I'm up and dancing because I got a free album.

 

23 hours to go. Y’all are getting me hyped I need to hear Blink Wave so badly

 

I just got a shipping notification for my Spotify variant.

 

Again, haven’t listened to this, but a thought occurred to me earlier when watching the Zane interview that I didn’t really get to form before… all of this happened

When reflecting on BCR, Tom mentions how he’s learned that he doesn’t need a second outlet to experiment with things - that he can try anything with Blink because he doesn’t see them as strictly inside a box anymore. I honestly think there’s something to be said about the way he really took to Turnstile a couple years back for the way he’s adopted this new outlook. That’s how they’ve been for a long time, and received overwhelming praise for that ambition with Glow On. And I know younger bands inspire older bands all the time, nothing new there. But if I’m right, then it’s really fucking cool how heavy of a hand Tom had in them blowing up, while they in turn had much do with this fire under his ass. When Glow On came out there was all this talk around here about how it’d be a record that would make kids pick up guitars, it’s wild to think that Tom may have also somewhat been under that umbrella and now we have this
