I feel like they're all in on it. Like a major insider secret between the major artists. Word probably traveled fast how they're making 4X (if not more) on ticket sales right now through dynamic pricing/ticketmaster, where they make most their money anyway. It's not like the artists made ticketmaster dynamic scamming, but they probably are nothing short of happy people are spending $1K to see them play sometimes. That adds up so quickly. Trying not to let it bother me personally with the artists, but I'm pretty convinced they are far from naive about it.

It's either they're really selling out or getting scalped, or they are just getting insanely even greedier-er than ever, and saw how the 'fake' demand can bring even higher sales, so they're doing the next level now.

Such an odd album title looking back. Feel like there's better ways to stay edgy/humble post being successful. Feel the same way about the Fuck sign blink still rolls out.

There's so much cool emotion behind the album. The whole traveling around between eachother's studios, all these years later, has to create a unique element to the album. Mark back in San Diego? I just can't see them doing all this and just coming up with "Teenage Suburbia Put Up A Parking Lot!" Even if it sounds just like Edging, it makes a world of difference to have the band "back" back again.

It already is losing steam. They really had it as the thing on everyone's minds to slowly fading out a tiny bit. New song or major update or bust this month imo.

He looks a lot more like Dude Ranch Tom, somehow. But that's okay. It's probably the least AvA thing he's done in 15 years, so there's that.

Travis new beat leaked, grabbing link. Fast pace, sounds kinda like Natives. Woohoo.

Gotta get that MGK hair. Immaculate locks.

The amount of care I have for Tom getting a hair transplant or not You guys are weird.

Nah, Tom seems like a great dad. I agree. Embarrassing? Maybe. But what Dad isn't. His involvement and his support for his kids, baseball and such, is pretty awesome. I've seen a lot of posts to believe he's pretty cool overall with his kids. The divorce clearly was good for his mind so I'm not sure what you're getting at there mr. speculation.

You lied Ghent! We told you the Delonge riffs were indispensable! They really are. Simple or not, they are almost as distinguishable as his voice for blink.

All I remember you saying is how good this album is gonna be and overhyping it.

So they definitely did not have this album done yet. Oh well, hope we don't have to wait forever ever (and after). Good thing is this means Edging might have been rushed out a bit like it somewhat sounds.

I can totally see them laughing at shit going by on there. Caught that too.

Dang, that is just so cool to see. If they are seriously just doing their own project like this, almost like a Neighborhoods but more cohesive I'm all ears.

What are your guys thoughts on dropping a guitar line -12 cents and making it a bit of a pseudo bass? I really don't feel like recording or finding a bass player just to add to my personal stuff. It sounds pretty cool, but is it going to f with the final? I switched back to Garageband. Loving the move, so many less buttons!

Yeah, the whole edging/dick jokes galore comeback thing was and still is amazing, truly, but the song title is kinda dumb. Hopefully it makes more sense on the album or will always stick out like a sore thumb and doesn't really land since the song is not even cleverly connected or anything.

I usually quick skip over the drum intro, listen to a bit of Tom's part a bit, then fast forward to the "special place in hell" part and finish from there. Solid decent quick song with a bit too much Cali bop to always want to listen to. Need more though to be able to come back to it.

All these people in the comments and such want Anthem pt 3? Am I the only one that's like 'nah'?

Yeah this isn't even edging, they fell asleep during the handjob.

Tom says blink music today. Not sure what that means even. We'll see. Surprise drop would wreck the world again. Give us something tasty.

Beautiful, wow @Speedo, this is what I've been searching for, for like 3 years. I hate sending shit to friends or local people, so fucking nice to have 3rd party people who are likely just as good if not better to. I can die happy now. Speedo BOTBM 2024! Also agreed with @Kay, you can't do everything. If you just wanna write, you just wanna write. If you want to mix only, it's hard to do your own shit, and kills the momentum tbh. Etc etc

@Kay @Speedo That makes sense. I truly, just for myself, want to make out the songs I've been writing on for years, I have the idea for it, but making that happen within the DAW is just excruciating. I knew there had to be some type of service out there. Downloading templates has been..helpful. But then it's always going to have so many layers in it you are kind of stuck in that sound. Bringing it to a studio is just embarrassing (and expensive). So with Fiverr, you essentially can send over the fully arranged song, and have them send it back to do final touches on I presume? Thanks, seriously. I'd love to just get the arrangements down, send it off, then be able to still add extra touches/effects after instead of getting majorly distracted early/mid way through. But I don't want it to be 'finalized' so to speak

@KayI'm not sure how you do it. I'm not even taking it seriously or anything and still can't find myself to finish a single project, it's mind numbing to get everything right. Your stuff is really good by the way, good vocalist
