Blink-182 - Shady California:

    1.   "Cynical"
    2.   "6/8"
    3.   "Wildfire"
    4.   "Los Angeles"
    5.   "Good Old Days"
    6.   "Bored to Death"
    7.   "Don't Mean Anything" 
    8.   "Home Is Such a Lonely Place"
    9.   "Left Alone"
  10.   "Misery"
  11.   "Hey I'm Sorry"
  12.   "San Diego"
  13.   "Bottom of the Ocean"
  14.   "Long Lost Feeling"
  15.   "Last Train Home"

 

I'll have to test this out when the album is officially out, but I think this is a good playlist for the mix of the albums. I called it "Shady California" because it's darker, I don't know. I like concept albums, so I tried sequencing them to make a story. I'm not a huge fan of DMA and I forgot about Wildfire but I found a way to fit them in. 

My BS concept idea for the album is that it's about being reckless and as you get older, you realize that there are consequences in life. You hope someone can save you from your mistakes and realize you can only save your self. You look back in your life to the "good old days" before you grow up. Starting from track 7, the album ends up focusing on losing family and relationships with friends and loved ones as you grow older, or perhaps, losing yourself.

I don't know, some deep bullshit I pulled out of my ass.

 

EDIT: Forgot BOTO

Would make a solid album. A 2017 TOYPAJ softer progression ft Matt Skiba.  I'd say close to equal quality to a your Neighborhoods/DED.  Maybe...not that good, but not a huge gap anymore.

15 real songs, 2 joke songs. Starts upbeat and fun, gets darker during the mid-record and then bends back to more neutral grounds during the ending along with some joke songs. its 50% cali 50% Calideluxe

This stuff is really difficult when there are 27 songs.

Holy shit I did it! Thanks to their decision to make a Deluxe edition I was able to pick and choose enough songs I like and make an album that can at least be in the ballpark of their old albums! From now on I can pretend the other 17 songs are just weird B-sides... Haha. It would still be my least favorite Blink album by a lot, but at least I can throw this version of the album on every once in awhile and enjoy a quick listen.

Teenage Satellites grew on me a bit. Still not a huge fan of the lyrics. No Future, well I get it stuck in my head all day after hearing it, and not in the annoying way like sober does with me, so I give blink credit there.
