Nosferatu

I can never get over Anthem. It might be my favourite song on Enema. Then there's Adam's Song which is just a fucking banger. It really is the perfect pop punk album. Every song on it is gold. Even ATST rocks despite it being overplayed

I still think it would've had the same issues as Neighborhoods even with Jerry Finn producing if it was entirely on Tom's terms. Tom was willing to record a new blink album by sending ideas back and forth through emails. Mark at the time felt the music should all be worked on in the same room as each other. Although he did mention in that interview from 2006 that Tom suggested recording at his home rather than a studio and obviously he felt that suggestion wasn't reasonable either because they lived a couple of hours away from each other (which is kinda weird because a lot of people most days do travel to and from work/uni with 2 hour distances from their homes so it's easily doable).

I made a playlist of the Enema album with the songs all in their exact orders. Only difference between the playlist and the album is that I added Man Overboard at the end to make it 13 tracks instead of 12. It flows nicely after Anthem as the closing song despite the fact Anthem is also a great closing song on the album

Tom looks like one sexy bastard in that photo

Mark seems to change his mind about his rankings. California was his number 1 when he ranked his favourite blink albums during the Skiba era Now he ranks OMT up there, which is a fine album but not up there with Untitled/Enema/Dude Ranch. The Untitled album was number 2 on his rankings back then and his rankings from few days ago. I guess deep down he considers that album to be number 1. He'll give his true opinion about OMT a few years from now. Surprised he has California as high as he does though I get why he doesn't seem to rate Dude Ranch as high. A lot of bands hate their earlier work but he's gotta give Dude Ranch some props. It's a masterpiece and IMO one of the two best pop punk albums ever.

As someone from UK, I've played all 3 of Football, Rugby and American Football. My worst injury was from playing football and it left me on crutches for 3 weeks. I played 30-40 matches a year, so there was a bigger chance of getting injured. Despite American Football and Rugby being more dangerous, I didn't play them much so it meant there was lesser chances of getting injured. I never had anything bad happen to me in Rugby at all. American Football though? Yeah, fuck that. Even with the pads I was always getting hurt. Nothing major but definitely loads of bruises and aching backs for a few days. The running back position isn't kind on the body. If i stuck with that I'd probably end up on crutches a lot more than once

Haha I noticed that the other day but I assumed I was just hearing things in my head 😂

I like the bridge of the song but Mark's vocals come in way too quick after the chorus. It doesn't work after the chorus. It'd be better if the bridge was doing the same thing without vocals then repeat itself, this time with Mark on the vocals

When I first heard Childhood I thought I hated it. My first response was what the hell is this? It was just so grating but it eventually grew on me. I think it's a very good song now

Toast and Bananas from Cheshire Cat Waggy from Dude Ranch Anthem & Adam's Song from Enema Everytime I Look For You, Time to Break Up, Please Take Me Home from TOYPAJ Feeling This, Asthenia, Here's Your Letter, Obvious from the untitled album Dogs Eating Dogs from Dogs Eating Dogs Los Angeles, Kings of the Weekend, Misery, San Diego from California On Some Emo Shit from Nine You Don't Know What You've Got, Turpentine, Everyone Everywhere from OMT Stay Together for the Kids (2004), Down (2004), The Rock Show (2004), A Letter to Elise (2004) for live songs

1. Anthem Part 3 2. Terrified 3. One More Time 4. More Than You Know 5. When We Were Young 6. If You Never Left 7. You Don't Know You've Got 8. Blink Wave 9. Hurt (Interlude) 10. Turpentine 11. Fuck Face 12. Other Side 13. See You 14. Can't Go Back 15. Everyone Everywhere 16. Childhood I wanna put Dance With Me & Bad News in there but I think this is my favourite track list i've created. Those two just don't fit in my opinion. Since the self titled album I've always preferred the second song to be BCR styled tracks and the 3rd song to be the slower chilled out ones like I Miss You, After Midnight etc

Listened to all the new tracks. They're not great in my opinion. Feel more like filler songs that belong on Nine & California. One issue for me is a lot of the tracks have the same chord progression in the chorus. One Night Stand, Every Other Weekend, Can't Go Back all have that chord progression in the chorus. It gets boring once I've heard it more than twice. Can't Go Back is an amazing song though, so I'm always gonna prefer that over the other two If You Never Left had a lot of potential based on the previews but it's that riff in the outro of the song I loved. The rest of the song was just a generic four chord song. Everyone Everywhere is so close to being perfect. The chorus feels more like a pre-chorus than a chorus. There should've been a better chorus after that part. The bridge is amazing. Arguably the best OMT bridge. The only other gripe I have with the song is Tom's voice sounds really harsh on one line of the chorus. I don't like how it sounds at all. Another take of that exact same line and melody should've been used without him sounding so harsh. Can't Go Back is the best by far and Everyone Everywhere isn't too far off. The rest I can deal without

Can't Go Back is amazing Not a fan of Take Me In

yeah i get the gateway error too

As someone who wanted blink to keep progressing into darker territory, I can't lie about loving some of the recent more fun songs. Songs like Anthem Part 3, Dance With Me and Bad News are brilliant. Blink are still capable of writing the fun upbeat catchy music with honest lyrics. I can't get into No Fun & All In My Head though. They're not even close to the quality of the 3 songs I just mentioned. The TOYPAJ styled riff on No Fun and the chorus of All In My Head are great though. I just wish i could like the other parts of these songs
