M!ke Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 haha holy shit I remember how confused I was at the change. What happened to Carol? Who are these two guys? I was so confused, but then got super amped when I realized it meant it would be almost all Mark vocals. And then when Lycanthrope was posted, I got super excited cuz I realized the band wasn't going to be as big of an electronic band as they first announced, and in fact would sound like fucking blink without Tom's vocals. Truly Mark's equivalent of the Box Car Racer album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly Mark's equivalent of the Box Car Racer album. that's where everyone is totally wrong. +44's sound was way ahead of their time and almost came off as a prog rock album. songs like little death and weatherman sound nothing like blink. it's was totally new and that's what i loved about this band. everyone is brainwashed into thinking "it's just blink without tom" simply because it had two pop punk songs. everything was different from blink other than the fact that it had mark and travis as members, imo. the guitar parts in no way resembled tom's playing style, mark starting using more complex bass parts, travis totally raped anything he had done prior, and the lyrics were by far mark's best work. then again, it's all opinion. but come on, this band was constantly surprising me with awesome shit that blink doesn't do. iTunes cover-singles, acoustic tracks, hmnim podcasts that tied in with their stage banter, daily tour blog updates from mark, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I'd say is the same for Box Car Racer but for Tom. I respect your opinion, but I definitely hear blink in all +44 songs, including little death and weatherman.

radioactive tomdog Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (in my opinion) the only songs on self titled that sound similar to +44 are violence, stockholm syndrome, and the fallen interlude. like i said before, the guitar parts are definitely way different than what tom would have written. pretty much all of the instruments just seem more well done, making it appear separate from blink.

Sean. Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Wish I'd been into +44 while the record was being made. I only gained interest when WYHSB was released and have loved the album ever since. They NEED to make a second album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mau5 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 or this http://www.eventimagecenter.com/300x180/aaa300.jpg I thought Ryan Sinn looked like the devil and that Atom Willard looked like a pedo. I think that atticus dress shirt is fucking rad though, always have wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pussay Patrol Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 +44 sounds nothing like blink aside from the 2011 blink. If I'd heard it at the time it was released I would've been like WTF happened to Mark Hoppus and liked it after a while, but it's definitely not just blink without Tom singing.

Rickay Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I jizzed everywhere when I first heard Lycanthrope, much more so than I did for Up All Night..... And I agree with Kevin on the cool shit stuff, plus did a lot of cool shit that blink doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd heard it at the time it was released I would've been like WTF happened to Mark Hoppus and liked it after a while, but it's definitely not just blink without Tom singing. I just disagree. Yes the guitar playing is noticeably not Tom, but that doesn't change the overall sound. WYHSB sounds so much to me like Mark's BCR. Its mature and its veins run deep in blink-182. Tell me that songs like Baby, Come On and Cliff Diving don't remind you of the type of music we were hearing from blink on self titled. I mean fuck, I was saying the same thing when the album was first released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0rt3x Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I remember that the AvA site was smth totally weird and I just didn't understand what it was all about with the war vids etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brae. Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I remember used to update every week or so with a new lyric. When I saw 'Our bare feet were framed on the horizon' - that's what stands out the most to me when I think of this band. And the AVA side of things, I just remember watching that first contact video over and over again just to hear 'everyone, everyone will listen' Shit. i'm going to sit down and listen to these albums all the way through tonight. I loved WYHSB and WDNTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I remember both moments like them were yesterday. The +44 album was absolutely pure gold to me, even with the first AvA album out after all that period. +44 got me. I still think is a really under rated album, Much better than AvA and less recognized. Also, I remember the day WDNTW leaked. As I said several times, I still own that copy (which was a little different compared to the final edition). I remember the date: April 11, 2006. Great memories. I was finishing college... wow. Time passes really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 the thing i remember about AVA is being so stoked when the adventure leaked...and then so horribly bummed out when everything else did. biggest let down of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
