Not even going to pretend I didn’t have tears in my eyes watching One More Time. Surely it’s everything a blink-182 fan wanted to hear
One More Time is a serious gut punch to the heart and causes my eyes to leak. More Than You Know is just pure punk rock perfection.
Blink 182 was like "you know how everyone likes our dick jokes? Let's see if we can make them cry." BOOM.
Whelp. That just made me call in to work and bring out my fender strat again to play along to the oldies and now, new tunes. My best friends 3rd anniversary of his death was a week ago and he was the one who started me on blink…and music in general at 9 yrs old. Always think of blink and fond memories. Thank you blink
I'm so sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine how hard that must be. I'm glad you can find comfort in the music. Songs are great, great. Can't wait for the album.
Good songs. I was hoping One More Time would go big at some point. But still a good tune. MTYK is closer to what I’m hoping for. Hope there’s some tunes that just explode like Man Overboard, Up All Night or Reckless Abandon. It sounds like it’s there…can’t wait!
Is anybody else utterly taken aback by the angst that seems to have miraculously returned to Tom’s voice? It really is, prime, untitled-era, TD — and boy am I here for it.
I get why they released Edging as the first single when they did and it did work. For me personally, that’s just not what I want to hear from Blink-182 anymore, I guess. These other 2 and the clips from the trailer have me very excited for this, especially after not feeling that way after Edging released.
Yeah, More Than You Know was a fun song, and OMT was powerful (I started to tear up during that montage of old clips towards the end). Really happy to have this band back in my life.
Exactly what I was thinking! I figured it’d be ‘yay we’re back here’s a fun song’ but then not put it on the record.
Honestly, might just be me being greedy, but it would be cool if they had also released an ep with the songs that didn't make the album cut and put Edging there. Which would give us the album of fresh new songs and an ep of other cool songs (with the reunion single on it).
Also, confession; Once I saw the video and listened to MTYK I typed in absolutepunk.net because I’m old.
