I love “Make You Smile” and listen to it constantly, wish Carol would’ve stayed in the project. Apart from that, only really enjoy Baby Come On and Cliff Diving, the rest of the songs set me in a weird mood.
Baby Come On, Make You Smile, Lycanthrope, and Cliff Diving are the only songs I ever really return to, if they pop up on shuffle or something.
I think I burnt myself out on We Don't Need to Whisper and When Your Heart Stops Beating in middle / high school. Would only listen to a few songs if they came on shuffle for years until recently. Lycanthrope, Cliff Diving, and No, It Isn't are probably my favorites. I remember a friend burning me a mix CD with the leak Lycanthrope and No, It Isn't on it. Played those on repeat.
I love the album and it has some fantastic songwriting, but I actually sort of feel the same. It's melancholy anyway, but personally, the album came out at weird time in my life so it sort of reminds me of that every time I listen. It also brings me back to when blink was broken up which was a bummer of a time.
Yeah I'm in that same boat of the album kinda bums me out, and I haven't been back to it since around release time.
I listen to the +44 album at least once a month. I love that record. I also have to listen to it at night. I’m going to do a discography run on Angels & Airwaves soon. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the EPs.
I did a big Ava deep last fall and it was glorious. Meticulously combed through the love albums, dream walker, and a couple of eps to make one album of all killer no filler. It took me many attempts to nail the sequencing. It was so fun and ridiculous.
the +44 record is my favourite blink adjacent record / one of my favourite records ever but i don't listen to it as much as i'd like to anymore. i'll change that this weekend though.
I got through half the album or so today while I worked. There’s a couple songs I liked more than I used to. There’s a couple songs I still really don’t like. +44 and the first AVA album are pretty equal in my mind. Aside from a few songs, it’s just not stuff I gravitate to. I can listen to BCR all day long, but something about those two albums just rubs me the wrong way as a whole. Maybe it’s nostalgia. Who knows.
I listen to +44 and then immediately want to listen to BCR. I always pair those albums together even though they are separated by a number of years. I’ll never skip Lycanthrope whenever it comes on.
The songs I like a lot more today than I ever have before are 155, interlude, and weatherman. Little Death and Lillian still aren’t for me. And the rest are good, a couple are great.
The three Transplants singles are cool, but my favorite songs on that first album are California Babylon, Weigh on my Mind and We Trusted You.
