Boy, I thought we were all pretty high on NINE, weren't we? The back half, in particular, is the best stuff they've done since reuniting. If they can tap into that weird energy, I'm actually really excited to see what this sounds like.
Band has been a good listen from Dude Ranch to present day in my opinion. Plus, Mark, Travis, Matt, and Tom are all still very active right now making new music (and for multiple projects). Bring on the new music.
Well “Blink 182” “featuring” on a track is something they would’ve never done with Tom in the band. It’s crystal clear now that Tom was the glue, didn’t want to tarnish the legacy. Whereas Mark and Travis are okay with pissing out content.
The glue to what? Not wanting to get together with his bandmates and make music, but instead make bad records from his home studio?
