The title makes me think of 'The Suburbs'.

The moment I saw those pics in the OP, I knew someone would post this.

Don't you realize how petty you sound. I mean, just let it sink in for a little. You just said you don't want to listen to a cd because you don't like the promotional t-shirts (or the people wearing them). Just...uh, fucking horrendous attitude, and it's commonplace.

^^ That really makes no sense. If a picture of some clothes and an album makes you not wanna listen, then you werent really on board to begin with.

why?

is it the staged models?

The fact that a band is trying to sell merchandise makes you not want to listen to the music they make. So I guess you don't listen to music, considering every single band ever on earth does this?

he seems like he might just be a hater, or possibly an AvA fan? lol

Blink 182 fans cant take a joke: noted.

I mean seriously?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I've been listening to the leak in my car for a week, and I'm loving it. The extra tracks on the album are...okay for the most part. IMO, this album is way better than their self-titled and the best track is "Hearts All Gone." I even went ahead and got the sweatshirt/CD bundle. I really, REALLY hope I get Mark's bass signed. That would be fuck awesome.

Spoiler

I'm probably getting the granola.

What joke? Seriously? Nothing in your post even had the slightest bit of sarcasm or joke tone to it. Work on your jokes.

those photos look terrible, as stated before, that's no joke. Saying that i wouldnt listen to the album because of those photos is such a ridiculous statement that only overly defensive fans could take it seriously and respond to it, i mean come the fuck on, i dont need to give any hints of sarcasm. Work on my jokes? work on your tolerance. Quotes to that post should have been "lol yeah those photos are terrible, oh well" instead of "YOU CLEARLY DONT LISTEN TO MUSIC BLABLABL". People here are just too trigger happy waiting for people to come and say something bad about your band. Chill out.

I was a big Blink 182 fan when i was a kid, as we all were, i'll give this a listen whenever i can.

Or maybe the songs "Neighborhood" from Arcade Fire?

 

[scoobs]

I've been a fan of Blink 182 for a long time, and even I'm not liking this album. Does it sound good? Sure. Is it typical Blink 182? No.

Look back at the previous Blink 182 albums as a whole. Usually a good mix of Tom and Mark tracks. Tom track. Mark track. Tom and Mark track. Two Tom tracks. Two Mark tracks. Etc. It was a nice balance.

I noticed with the Self Titled album in 2003, it has a majority of tracks with Tom singing. It's the same with this one, if not worse. It sounds like Angels and Airwaves, and it feels Tom is monopolizing the tracks.

Just my 2cents. Take it for what it is.

Just read what you wrote. "I don't like it because it is not enema of the state. Do i like the way it sounds? yes i do. Do i like it though? no." welp lol

 

[narca]

If you couldn't tell by my avatar, I'm pretty excited to finally here this. I pre-ordered the sweatsuit bundle. I'm waiting for my actual CD before I listen to it.

 

[Agent_J]

they hit their commercial peak with enema of the state. they hit their creative peak with their self-titled. neighborhoods was boring to me. i do not hate it after my 2 listens, but i won't be listening to this album years from now. self-titled is still in my rotation.

 

[Medalion]

It doesn't sound enough like MY band from my youth I loved

It's not a bad album... for any OTHER band, but I want my poop fart and dick joke Blink back wahhhhh

You have a shitty attitude. And clearly dont know what a joke is.

Mark Hoppus is 39 years old. If you want to hear joke songs and bad words, go to their concerts. They're still up there talking about blowjobs and other sexual things you can do with your dad.

As some one who loved Enema and hated the self-titled, this is a really good album. The only issues are it feels a bit Tom dominated, in terms of vocals, and not enough upbeat fast shit like they used to have. There are a few good ones "Wishing Well" and "Hearts All Gone" that sound like their old stuff.

great, rational comeback

Leave Salsa alone.

Travis is still a hell of a drummer. Good.

You are sounding really pathetic. It is amusing watching you completely fail at understanding why people had a problem with your post, with a slight wording difference this argument wouldnt even be happening. Also, your idiotic if you boiled my post down to "No,You".

 

[blame space]

I can't even figure out who's singing sometimes.. it's all just so forgettable.

I keep trying..

It could have gone 2 ways: either i was joking (wich was the most likely) or im really THAT stupid as to not listen to a band based on merchandise. You all picked the first one because you are being overly defensive about a band you like, all im saying.

And how could i not boil down your post to that when i gave an explanation and your answer was "you have a shitty attitude" ?


I wasnt even bothered by your post though, but rather Souldriver and scoobs

Serious business going on in here

Anyway on-topic: I didn't really enjoy it. Kaleidoscope is in my opinion the best track on the album but it's also the only one that gets anywhere near classic Blink (at least from my perspective).

 

[AgentOtaku]

Snap!

Are you a retired Blink fan like I am?

 

[blame space]

i always loved Tom's guitar work. even though he's a really shitty guitar player, he always had a kind of stylistic theme that he would stick with for each album..

this one's all mushy

 

[scoobs]

so the albums officially out everywhere now, noticed its #1/#2 on itunes US and apparently canada now too.

 

[Gouty]

I preordered in hopes of getting that half eaten granola bar.

I got some shitty little plastic rabbit and an album that isn't as good as their last.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'm waiting for my pre-order to ship, which it hasn't yet. At least I have the leak to keep me company.

I'm in the same boat. I'll post pics of my new guitar that i'm obviously getting..

It's quite obvious we are both getting Mark's basses. Which is awesome.

Fuck you guys, I ordered two bundles so I'm clearly getting two basses all to myself

I don't even like granola bars

haha, I really wish I'd get my shipping confirmation email... this is kinda pissing me off cuz i pre-ordered day 1

 

[Keylime]

Listening to this now on Spotify. Only 2 songs deep, but they sound pretty damn good. I may just buy this album afterall...

 

[Natiko]

haha, I really wish I'd get my shipping confirmation email... this is kinda pissing me off cuz i pre-ordered day 1

Yeah, I ordered my first bundle day one then ordered a second one for my girlfriend a week ago. Both are still listed as 'processing'..

 

[RoboPlato]

Same here. CD preorders never come through on time for me if they're done through a band's store.

 

[Gouty]

I preordered last Saturday and got mine yesterday.

Take that super fans!



Waiting on my Wilco pre-order

Picked up the Deluxe Edition from Best Buy today. Blink was my favorite band in high school, and while I was less than enthusiastic with their self-titled....this album is going to be one of my favorites I can tell.

So far, Ghost on the Dance Floor, Natives, and Wishing Well are the standout tracks to me. But I'm sure the others will grow on me.

 

[Erekiddo]

Take Blink-182 off of the album cover. Put on +44 = I like it. Put on Angels and Airwaves = I like it.

That's it.

 

[DarkChronic]

I had a religious experience listening to Snake Charmer for the first time.

Uh, whatever floats your boat then. Shame on you Blink 182 for evolving your sound and maturing some..

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Good god, Wishing Well has one of the catchiest choruses ever. I freaking love it.

EDIT: I don't like Heart's All Gone at all.

 

[quickwhips]

I've listened to this album 5 times now. I like it better every time. I hated it the first time though. I still think Buddah and Dude Ranch are the best cds. I mean M & M, Dammit, Josie, so many songs I really love on their old stuff. Plus I love fart and dick jokes I guess. Whatever.

 

[scoobs]

Buddah over enema is blasphemy

 

[Recon]

Agreed.

Im not big on hearts all gone either now.. Its too simple or something idk. Not as fun as it should be

 

[Natiko]

Cheshire Cat is still my favorite album. Also, my two preorders shipped today. I'm excited to see what I got!

 

[quickwhips]

I didn't mean buddah i meant cheshire cat. Give me a break I said M & M.

carousel is still one of their best tunes.
