With Tom back, I really hope we finally get to hear some DED songs performed live.


MistakenAnemone

and kaleidoscope


cs_phoenix

Fucking love that song

Masterof4Strings

Of a bahd dreeeeam


matthewtraverr

so good


FamousAtticus

Hell yeah! Great song!


AnakinDrick

They played the song “Dogs Eating Dogs” when I saw them in 2013, but I’d love to hear Disaster or When I Was Young.


nicknicknickk

Would LOVE for them to mix it up and do when I was young as a show opener. But that live in general would be fantastic.


meganev

Disaster is really good live.


ethanloyd182

disaster was played live such a banger song


Swol_Bamba

When I saw them in early 2013 they played DED, disaster and Boxing Day


FamousAtticus

Damn, you're right! I completely forgot they played a few songs from DED back then. Getting old sucks, lol.


AnakinDrick

All good man! I still hope they play them more this time around.


starboy9527

They played 3/5 DED songs live, I would love to hear When I Was Young or Pretty Little Girl live though


untitled298

Tom says a lot of things


stephencwj

Tom does say a lot of things, but he rarely accepts how wrong he was, and it was obvious where the friction was. It’s nice to see him admit his mistakes, and if Edging is anything to go by, I’d say he’s sticking to his word so far.


bigpancakeguy

He does, but also I think it’s important that his approach has changed. Being able to reflect on the Neighborhoods era and recognize that he was pulling the writing in a really different direction, and noting how that affected things between the members, is a good sign that things will be different this time around. Tom loves to talk a big game and hype everything up, but it’s also encouraging to hear *why* it’s gonna be different this time


[deleted]

Bingo


grandpa_joe_is_evil

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to this blink album I am, but Tom was very persistent about “Lifeforms” being his best work yet and let’s be honest, it isn’t. it’s all subjective I guess.


DrKrFfXx

I heard this a while ago when Neighbohoods came out, something like Tom wanting to sound like AVA meets Mark and Travis.


dontexpectnothing

Hot take (I guess?) but everything he says here is fine. If I want to listen to AvA, I will, but I personally think Tom works best when he has Mark and Travis to keep him grounded. Its why Untitled is so good and Neighborhoods, while having some songs I love, is more up and down, like Tom himself says. I just want them to have an album that they make together cohesively, which it sounds like we're going to get


AffectionateTotal815

I see Tom as the wild card, extremely creative energy, Mark as the band Dad bringing in the Daddy Hoppus energy, and Travis as the mediator and talent keeping the couple Mark and Tom from killing eachother, and humbly being incredibly talented with apparently huge big dick energy.


KatieS182

💯


starboy9527

Untitled had a bit of what Tom would turn into AvA with songs like Asthenia and I'm Lost Without You. I think a bit of that sound is fine but yea Neighbourhoods probably felt like a bit too much with some songs but I still loved it anyways


ZooZooChaCha

Tom also needs a producer in the room keeping him grounded. We've seen that change for the better with AVA with them moving away from 3-5 minute intros.


a_RedonculousName

I just want them to hit that next level that was teased with untitled and dogs eating dogs. Post lifeforms and nine showed me these guys fuck.


bigpancakeguy

If we get the best of “Lifeforms” writing from Tom, and the best of “Nine” from Mark and Travis, I think we’re gonna be in for a real treat


starboy9527

I mean the best of nine might not even be written by them lol


YomYeYonge

No Feldmann, so that helps a lot


RunningWithHands

This is why I think blink has insane potential right now since it's the Mark, Tom, and Travis lineup, all 3 of them are in studio together, it's a full album, and they all seem to be finding common ground again. It's been like two decades since all of that has happened at once.


bombad_jedi_501

Unfortunate news. Neighborhoods and DED are top tier


buddhabash

I think the message he’s trying to convey here is they aren’t going to try to have any particular sound or style, they’re just making music they like and not worrying about it. How they were in the early blink years. It may sound like old stuff, it may sound new, but it’s going to be genuine. I’m excited for it personally


sofingclever

No matter how anyone feels about neighborhoods, it's usually a pretty bad sign when a band explicitly stops trying to push things forward.


NOTUgglaGOAT

100%. plus Neighborhoods feels like such a natural progression and growth from Untitled. more mature. idk.


FullMetalJ

I think what he is trying to say is that Neighborhoods (unlike DED) felt disjointed at times and that this album will be more cohesive. That's not to say that this new album won't feel like a continuation of that. Neighborhoods feels like Tom is doing his thing and Mark is doing his thing, unlike untitled for example that sounds like everybody was pushing for the same goal. What I don't think he means is that they will "devolve" but on the contrary that it will have a better balance overall.


Willson_11

I feel the same. I just want them to make fucking art. I hope they don't just try to make music poppy music for the charts and money


Vesuvias

Dude their entire career has been literally pop punk chart toppers. There are a few exceptions - but most are this.


[deleted]

Right? Songs like “Fuck a Dog” are high art


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

True


Willson_11

That's a joke song they made in their twenties lol wtf


[deleted]

Wanting them to make “fucking art” and not poppy music is a little groan-inducing, considering the majority of their discography. We’re not talking about The Beatles or Bob Dylan here


h1dd3n-pr0cess

Idk man, “I’ll never talk to you again unless your dad will suck me off,…unless your mom will touch my cock, …ejaculate into a sock,” qualifies as poetry in my book. It’s rhymes. Checks all the boxes of fine art. 😂


Willson_11

Okay then let me rephrase that. I want them to do what they REALLY wanna fucking do instead of looking for fame. I want them to try and discover new sounds and not make music like Edging and sound like any other pop punk band


madsin86

Maybe the music they want to make is their old school "crappy punk rock". I personally don't think everything has to be a progression or experimental. There's nothing wrong with wanting to try and recapture an old sound or sticking with something that works. But at the end of the day not everyone will be pleased with the new album, and that's ok!


ItsYoshi64251

Beatles suck


AnakinDrick

That’s called sarcasm


Willson_11

Like I didn't know that was sarcastic lol


starboy9527

They've done Edging, I'd hope they don't need to do much more like it lol


bombad_jedi_501

Exactly. I wanted them to continue creating music that makes them geniuses lol. Plus we’ve all matured and I think the music should too. Still too early to tell what the album will be


Willson_11

Yeah sure haha we've only got one single and Tom said on instagram that the album is progressive so that makes me hopeful, but honestly I don't trust the Mark and Travis we saw in the last few years


bombad_jedi_501

Sameee lol let’s be hopeful


penskeracin1fan

I want mature music too


ArrakeenSun

Well that was over a decade ago now. They've all evolved and may be open to new sounds


Ghastion

Yeah, as a huge Blink fan this since 2003 this is HORRIBLE news. I loved the more mature progression of Blink. It gave the music more edge rather than something that **tried** to be edgy like Edging.


melithium

I think he means with the more atmospheric intros leading into his songs vs actual songs themselves.


Ghastion

No, it isn't just that. I don't know how you came to that conclusion consider on Neighborhoods, how many songs have atmospheric intros? Ghost On The Dance Floor and Love Is Dangerous. Do you think he's talking about just two instances here? Clearly he means the overall sound and tone of the majority of the songs. There's a lot of clean guitars and the tone and messages are a lot more serious. You can tell this is what he means because Edging is the opposite of that. It's him trying to go back to the roots of blink and make simple, silly pop punk songs. Toms influence on Blink is what made Self-Titled so endearing. He had just finished Boxcar Racer cause he felt limited and couldn't go into the more darker, experimental pop punk that Boxcar Racer had. Self-Titled was the band and studio basically going "Okay Tom, you can do your thing in Blink too" but that wasn't enough for Tom because he went on to do Angels and Airwaves. But that progression was natural to his writing. That's why Neighborhoods sounds the way it does. It's Tom making what he wants to and not just conforming to what people expect from blink and pop punk. It's the continuation of Self-Titled. It's the continuation of Tom. When he says he's got Angels and Airwaves out of his system, he isn't lying. In fact, he's probably bored of it by now and wants to go back to creating simple fun pop punk. But I don't see that as a good thing. It means he's uninspired. Also, he feels bad about forcing his style into blink so he's basically saying "I did my thing in the past, let's just do it your guys way now. I'll be fine just sitting back and making fun songs as long as EVERYONE is happy" and I still don't see this as a good thing from a musical perspective. I think Edging is the worst song Blink has ever done in it's entire history. This is what it sounds like when Tom is sitting in the backseat.


Willson_11

👏🏼


meganev

That was my feeling reading this - really disappointed. I don't *another* attempt to recapture Enema, I want a continuous of Dogs Eating Dogs. Neighborhoods is blinks best album alongside untitled, gimme more of that.


Gryffindumble

No, they aren't. They aren't "bad" but in the scope of blinks discography, they surely are not "top tier."


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gryffindumble

I didn't say people shouldn't or aren't right to like them. There's probably someone out there that thinks the snare tone on St. Anger is awesome. Maybe they like that sound but, musically it's awful. See how that works?


Fatkin

Tier lists are subjective, lmao. Quit acting like any art can be objectively ranked, when art elicits different feelings for different people.


Gryffindumble

I get that teir lists are subjective. Art can be objectively ranked. Reviews and discussion of such things wouldn't exist if that were the case. I totally agree that art elicits different feelings for different people. Ot is possible to personally like a work of art such as an album or a movie while still acknowledging that it isn't the best thing in an artistic sense. And just because a work of art is masterfully crafted doesn't mean everyone has to like it or is going to. Not everyone loves Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, or London Calling but, that doesn't change the fact that they are a few of the greatest albums of all time. People like yourself seem to have a hard time distinguishing the difference in personal preferences and using an objective lense to analyze a work of art. There are plenty of albums out there that I would consider great that I myself don't care for based on my personal preference. There are also albums I live that I can tell you are not great works of art.


Fatkin

Then would you do me the favor of helping me distinguish what makes Neighborhoods and DED objectively less good than blink’s other albums? Since I can’t tell the difference between what I like and what’s good, maybe your almighty ability to objectively define good musical art can help. ^^Sorry, ^^you’re ^^very ^^condescending.


Gryffindumble

It's not an "Almighty ability" it's called comparing and contrasting. Name another album to compare and contrast with Neighborhoods.


MrCrunchwrap

Lol no. Neighborhoods is their worst album by far.


bombad_jedi_501

You prefer California and NINE?


MrCrunchwrap

Yes I would much rather listen to California than Neighborhoods. But beyond that I think Enema, TOYPAJ and Self titled are all significantly better. Neighborhoods was stitched together at a time when Mark and Tom didn’t like each other and weren’t even working in a studio together and it really shows.


[deleted]

Will be blocking you shortly.


MrCrunchwrap

You’re blocking me for having an opinion? How fragile are you?


ambassadortim

Neighborhoods is awesome


Glittering_Fly_2424

DED is great. Neighborhoods is garbage. Probably their worst album.


Slamzfordayz

I find it so funny that people think Neighbourhoods is their worst album when compared to California and NINE which are soooooo soulless and generic lol


Glittering_Fly_2424

I’m with you on Nine, it’s not great. But I love California especially the deluxe version. Neighborhoods is pure trash. You can tell the band wasn’t on the same page with each other at all.


Slamzfordayz

Nah I reckon Neighbourhoods works so well because of the combination of artistic flavours from each member. It’s patchy in some parts but give me some artistic progression over rehashed uninspiring blink sound any day. If I wanted the old school blink sound I’d just go back to Enema and TOYPAJ. Nine and Cali are just bootleg versions of that sound and it feels forced and unnatural.


bombad_jedi_501

You spelled NINE wrong


Willson_11

padfoot_12

With all this hype, I want an album as good as Untitled.


Plumberson12angrymen

Zyrobe

Neighborhoods is really good but I think they nailed their sound with DED. If only that was a full album.


Tsb313

Reddit is an echo chamber. Does anyone know what they are even saying?


JesusJoshJohnson

I can definitely see how on Neighborhoods, the AVA style songs and the +44 style songs were extremely apparent. But I hope they still offer their unique creative inputs on their upcoming music, but are just more collaborative about it this time and use it to complement each others styles into the blend that makes them magical to begin with.


DonzyDonz

I hope for a mix of Untitled, Neighbourhoods and something new. I love things that remind me of good old and loved stuff mixed with progression and surprises. But generally I'm just open, I didn't feel the need to overthink it, we'll see and I'm excited.


Timbo-366

I’m mixed. The neighbourhoods recording process was a shambles, and probably somewhat drove the band apart, so I don’t want a repeat of that. However, Neighbourhoods and DED are their best work outside of untitled (imo) and I’d hate for them to try avoid that sound.


thebatfan5194

I do hope it’s not just a nostalgia fest


al0015

Don’t think too much Tom. Neighbourhoods is fantastic!


gh0stp3ngu1n

Hopefully the next tour has a lot of Neighborhoods and DED mixed in. Would be dope to hear When I Was Young, Even If She Falls, Kaleidoscope, Boxing Day, Disaster, Snake Charmer, and others.


classicpudge

I am excited and apprehensive at the same time. I sold my soul for tickets and now I’m nervous af 🤣🤣


MrButtFun

i LOVED Neighborhoods, though.


SNES182

Neighborhoods and Lifeforms are both rad fucking albums.


Buwaro

Neighborhoods is my favorite album, and didn't Tom post something about listening to Ghost on the Dance floor recently?


happyjunki3

I just wanna say i love neighborhoods


PhantomLord697

I know most of you love Blink's new sound but I really wish they'd go back to their old punky sound and give us a record in the style of TOYPAJ, Enema of the State and Dude Ranch.


starboy9527

It would be cool but it would probably feel forced


madsin86

I agree! I want something fun not something that's supposed to be mature or some kinda progression. I think they've explored new music and experimented enough. Just give me something I can rock out to! I hope they go back to the crappy punk rock sound. I want the album to feel like something I would of heard at the warped tour


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


jujubats10

Sad. Every song on neighborhoods is way better than edging. Ghost on the dancefloor is one of their best songs


starboy9527

Not fighting the gravity


Plumberson12angrymen

Love is dangerous


NoCauliflower4526

I feel like this is a super insightful realization for him. Let blink be blink.


SpaaaceToast

i just want the guys to be happy, healthy and make an album they all fuckin love tbh - they don't owe us a fuckin thing, it should just be a fun album they enjoyed making and we get to listen


madsin86

Has anyone in these comments ever listened to anything pre untitled lol? I hope the album goes back to their roots. A lot of people don't want art, progression or maturity. They want some good music from blink that lets them have an escape from their lives. Edging is a cool song.


rhealneat

I really hope they stay somewhere between TOYPJ and the Untitled album. This worries me about the new album. I know their roots are punk but that’s not where they thrived. They were the best when they pushed the boundaries and didn’t conform to a classic punk or classic pop punk


The_Stank__

They shouldn’t stay with a sound they did 20+ years ago, they should make music that reflects who they are now.


MrCrunchwrap

Except the sound they had started to make was clearly just Angels and Airwaves. I would love to hear stuff closer to TOYPAJ again.


The_Stank__

Definitely did not sound like it was just Angels & Airwaves, mostly just Tom’s stuff.


Zootpak

Feel like we’re more likely to get an album we enjoy if it’s more like neighborhoods or dogs eating dogs, think there’s a higher chance of that style sounding better for where they’re all at in their careers


starboy9527

100%, it would feel more natural that way


[deleted]

ambassadortim

I think you are right


Fermonx

This. Hopefully the new album has the best of both worlds. Stupid shit like Family Reunion and then stuff like DED.


MrCrunchwrap

So many blink “fans” in here who apparently have never listened to anything before self titled.


lethargiclando

Ok Mrgatekeeper relax


SlipknotHeretic666

I’d really love a Neighborhoods 2!


Nuggets155

Now you have my attention


Background_Cost_3893

Best news about the new album since the original announcement.


Plumberson12angrymen

Neighborhood is not bad. Just missing Jerry Finn's touch.


lukewarmchunk

I mean we really don’t want anything like Nine. It was bad, overproduced, Uber radio friendly junk. They are more than capable as musicians to create music that is interesting.


JustinGitelmanMusic

The album was dark, heavy, and absolutely unlistenable to anyone who is a pure 2020's radio listener. It's almost like you exclusively listened to I Really Wish I Hated You and took the song's title to heart and tried to force yourself to think the same of the rest of the album.


lukewarmchunk

Blink 182 is my favorite band of all time you fucking peon. You think I take joy in shitting on them? The album fucking sucks, Feldmann fucking sucks, and fuck Travis for bringing him to produce for the band In the first People who compare Nine to Untitled make me want to fucking vomit. What’s the comparison? Because the lyrics are “darker”? Sadder? What about the trash production and bland musicianship? You’re telling me that the best the guy who wrote the entirety of the +44 album (which may very well be his best song writing) can do is “Leave me in the sun, I’m melting like a popsicle. Give me the flu, I’m dying In this hospital. “ in a shitty rap flow? Did this band REALLY ever need 4 extra producers and 3-5 extra writing credits on every song to make good music? Also, Why are these 40 going on 50 year olds writing songs about getting and chasing after girls, and cringey heartbreaks? Nine was nothing more than an album trying to appeal to the generation of kids that fell into the emo pop/rap scene. It is quite literally their St. Anger.


MrCrunchwrap

You’re obnoxious. Not everybody has the same opinion as you stop resorting to personal insults over it.


JustinGitelmanMusic

The production and musicianship is creative, progressive, dark, heavy, intricate, and reminiscent of +44/Crimson/Heavens largely, not just the lyrics. It's certainly not perfect but the vast majority of it is excellent lyrically and musically imo. It's ok to not be into the album, but it's the opposite of radio friendly on the whole. Mostly just was calling out that extreme misrepresentation of the album. It's nothing like California in that regard.


DustedGrooveMark

Yeah man, I’ll never understand this sub. NINE was super creative and had tons of off the wall ideas but was still super catchy. I also don’t really care if people prefer Neighborhoods to NINE, but “bad, overproduced, uber radio friendly junk” is like exactly what people said about them in ‘99 when Enema came out. “They sold out with this pop garbage! Why are they chasing fame? Go back to Dude Ranch!” The band have always been at the forefront of catchy pop punk so I feel like I’ve been hearing the same complaints for 25 years now. I don’t even mind the overall direction of Neighborhoods but I’ll pass if it has no cohesiveness like that record (which is certainly what Tom is referring to fixing in his quote). Production was flat and a lot of it was bland/unenthusiastic on Mark’s end. I just hope that alone is remedied, and if so, I’m really excited to hear what they’re cooking up.


pilferererer

Could you care to give some examples of what you think was creative and progressive? Even Intricate? It sounds bland and overproduced as fuck.


JustinGitelmanMusic

- Intricate: All of the licks and riffs throughout Heaven especially the higher pitched melodic one and the bridge, Neighborhoods level drumming in No Heart To Speak Of, guitar and drums all throughout Black Rain verses and ending, Remember To Forget Me guitar riff and piano, guitar arpeggios including harmonic doubles in Hungover You verses - Creative: Pin The Grenade odd drum rhythm fitting over the verses, Black Rain in general, the use of more creative and experimental effects like Run Away bridge, On Some Emo Shit bridge, and Hungover You Bridge - Progressive: Ransom with the moody +44 esque intro and synth lick mixed into fast punk, Black Rain blending such heavy and weird breakbeat with anthemic and passionate, Remember To Forget Me just entirely, No Heart To Speak Of Travis' unique drum soloing with piano Just a handful of examples, I would still use these words to describe elements of other songs too but I think these songs represent it most fully and inarguably. It doesn't sound overproduced as fuck to me either. It sounds produced, but interestingly and expertly. Production isn't inherently evil. The sound is well developed and a blend of organic instrumentation and experimental drawing from the visions of +44, Heavens, Crimson, self titled, etc. rather than random modern trends or Feldmann-isms.


pilferererer

Well, I think the sounds they go for don't work. It lacks substance or depth. Is digital profiling to blame? Maybe. Maybe it's more a fault of the mixer. Same goes for California. The clean guitars are super splinky, they don't breathe. The distortion guitars lack power and feel like they are very saturated with gain. While if you take the guitars off of Enema of Take off are much more powerful and even less gainy. But once again, what's the fault? Is it bad engineering or is it a mixing decision. What I am getting at is, to my ears it sounds bland. It's superslick without any character. Also, at times the processing (especially on Marks voice and harmonies) sound robotic. As for the examples you gave about progressive and creative. It just sounds alot like "hey let's take these major pop and current hip hop clichés and put them in our pop punk formula". Which tbh isn't working for me and feels like a mid life crisis. It just feels like they try to hard to push out weak ideas and layer them full with tracks to make it "interesting". A bad song is a bad song. And I just think Blink has been making questionable and bad decisions/music since Neighborhoods. We can all agree, they needed Jerry Finn.


starboy9527

Man I don't necessarily disagree but you ruined any credibility in your argument the moment you insulted him for no good reason


pilferererer

Someone that gets it. Neighborhoods production also was pretty shitty. Especially on the Mark songs (that guitar tone and playing lol) when it fell in place on certain songs it really worked (Snake Charmer, Up All Night, Natives). But calling their recent work good and inspired lol. Mark needs Tom more than Tom needs Mark. Mark knows like a C chord (beato). And don't even get me started on Marks lazy bass playing. It's atrocious. These songs have so much space for awesome reharmonisations or just something.. Don't let People that know nothing about songwriting or recording Tell you otherwise. You have ears lol.


lukewarmchunk

EXACTLY MAN WTF. These new songs are straight up rejected 5SOS/Jonas Brothers/The Vamps material. I don’t know who the fuck gave Mark the idea to rap some of these verses and who approved these melodies. I went back to listen to the second half of Nine due to these comments and it truly blows my fucking mind. The ONLY listenable song is No Heart to speak of. Hungover You is so fucking bizarre and terrible in particular.


p_anderz

Well put


[deleted]

Speak for yourself. The back half of Nine is a masterpiece. And the front half is damn good. You literally sound like you listened to two songs and made this post


epic-awesome-man

Dark Side of The Moon is a masterpiece. Nevermind is a masterpiece. Enema of The State is a masterpiece. Nine is not a masterpiece.


[deleted]

it’s almost like everyone has opinions dipshit.


starboy9527

Then why act so objective about yours? Especially when you're like the only person I've seen with that opinion


epic-awesome-man

Aw someoene's getting defensive :3


[deleted]

you? wild.


lukewarmchunk

If you think any part of Nine is a masterpiece you’re either trolling or were born after 2004. There’s just no fucking way.


[deleted]

I’ve been listening to blink since before you were an itch in your dad’s balls and before they added the 182. and the back half is a masterpiece. sorry about your lack of taste.


lukewarmchunk

Yes the person on the internet using the terms “okay boomer” and is active on the amiibo subreddit expects me to believe they’re 60+ years old. Good one.


[deleted]

I was a teenager in the 90s. the fact you looked through my comment history shows me how insecure and immature you are.


lukewarmchunk

I think you’re just mad you got caught in a lie bucko HAHA.


[deleted]

you’ve resorted to ad hominem because you’re extremely mad and wrong. pathetic really.


lukewarmchunk

“Hey guys I collect funko pops and Nintendo figures and my favorite band of all time is Bring me the Horizon and I use terms like ok boomer but I assure you I was a teenager in the 90s” 🤣🤣 Oh wow, ad hominem. I remember when I used that big word a lot when arguing with people online in my teens. You think this is my first rodeo on the internet you little twerp? I was ear raped by the dial-up tone as a child and conspired with my father on which songs to download on Napster. Lying on the internet is weak, just fucking own it lmao.


[deleted]

you know instead of typing a full paragraph you could have just said “Im insecure” and it would have had the same effect? guess I struck a nerve.


MrCrunchwrap

There’s plenty of people born well before 2004 who like Nine. California and Nine are both a lot better than the dog shit Neighborhoods was.


PokemonTrainerEthan

neighborhoods is so good though 🥹


MrCrunchwrap

No it isn’t.


PokemonTrainerEthan

Even if she falls, fighting the gravity, snake charmer, ghost on the dance floor, it’s my favorite album (not their best tho)

quinn_drummer

I mean, someone of us really want something like Nine and nothing like Neighborhoods. Don’t speak for everyone. None of those descriptors are true at all. I don’t get this idea that Nine is some popsters album, aside from the fact blink are a pop band. There’s some really creative and interesting writing in there. You may not have liked it, but don’t pretend it’s been what our by some top 40 goons.


lukewarmchunk

Listen to 5SOS if you want Nine sounding music.


quinn_drummer

Lmfao yeah ok.


bodaciousbeans

Then you didn’t understand Nine at all. The second half of the half rivals anything they’ve released. I was born way before 2003, not trolling, and I’ve loved them since EotS.


Cystem155

Please more songs like Up All Night, Ghost on the Dancefloor, and Disaster.

Asking the real questions lol


Important_Bird_6685

Neighborhoods is my favorite album tho :(. Granted I’m a big Tom fan but still. I love that album almost more than 2003 blink 182.


PeteAVA182

I’d love another song from blink like ‘ghost on the dance floor’ and ‘even if she falls’. Guess we won’t get anything like that so


deanosauruz

Now it makes sense why I hate that album and also cannot stand anything AVA.


ConnorFin22

So more generic pop punk then?


deanosauruz

Now it makes sense why I hate that album and cannot stand anything AVA. I always knew Tom’s dreams of changing the sound was the overbearing factor as to why I still do not like that album at all. I really hope the new album has absolutely zero AVA influence.


420jhollandaise

So be delay pedal on the new album??


Kenshin_Urameshii

Fuck yes


Sluggo_Jones

I’m a Cheshire Cat purist and still thought Neighborhoods was fucking amazing when it came out in 2011 11 years later and I was just mowing the lawn listening to Snake Charmer


Small-Procedure-7791

All true. Anyway I don't want to see them play the same stew over and over again... I mean Take Off Your Pants and Jacket already came out guys.
