I needed some days to form an opinion on this record. Still struggling with the way it sounds, most fans, reviewers (People like LittleRedGuitars and such), all saying the same thing. But besides that the record is really good. Dance With Me grew on me the most and i did not like that when it came out. Best tracks: THE 2 BONUS TRACKS!, Turpentine, Bad News, You Don't Know What You Got, More Than You Know, Terrified, Fell In Love because its such a straight forward pop and love song. Don't really care for: Hurt (Interlude), Fuck face, Edging, Childhood because it just doesn't sound like blink to me and again the production aspect. After listening to the record a lot, i can no longer have California/NINE in my blink music catalog. I like plenty on those records but it doesn't feel like blink-182 canon. Listening to Neighborhoods going into One More Time is very interesting btw. Also very obvious why they left out the 2 bonus tracks, they feel different but they need to tap more into those sounds, ''See You'' and ''Cut Me Off!'' sound like songs from a 2014 blink-182 record after the DED e.p

Musically i find this album to be just great. But in terms of how it sounds out of the speakers, Both Neighborhoods / Cali and NINE sound better and more clear. At the very least Feldman had clarity within his slick pop compression fest. In some songs it feels like the drums are more in the forefront than the actual vocals. Don't let the hype tell you otherwise

This gives me much hope!

First time listening to the record now. I'm on Anthem Part 3, Great song actually but but i hope this is just my mp3 because the production/mix just ruins the song kind of. Feels like the song itself is suffocating compared to Atnhem/Anthem Part 2. Jerry Finn what a legend

PM me for a link man

Yeah i found a torrent on RUtracker, thanks for the clarity

Wait....Is the album out??? I just came home from work and walking my dog.

I have to agree with people saying the drums sound odd and robotic. When the chorus hits the drums are muddy with rapid peaks and lows which makes it sound unstable in the mix or something. On Edging there were those high cymbals that didnt sit good within the mix as well. On the other hand i don't have an issue with DWM/FIL/MTYK. Don't want to bitch( Doesnt bother me too much) but its a bit interesting. I feel like the last few years a lot of bands around the poppunk genre have switched too such a different style in production anyway. Neck Deep's ''All Distortions Are Intentional'' is a good example of weird mixing and production in the 2020s.

This sounds like if the California/NINE records happened WITH tom and without Feldman as the cook.

I talked about how this song was going to be great with +44 sounding verses eversince the first Zane Lowe trailer. Whats your problem

YDKWYG is sick! I knew this one would be a banger. Just for the verses alone. Ending is sick also! Verses are straight up +44

Really like this one a lot. It weirdly reminds me of Neighborhoods but i don't really know why.

Ah fuck me. The song is slowly growing on me. I was absolutely wrong, i think i just wasn't expecting something silly or funny.

Oh no sorry, i keep listening to it on that Zane Lowe interview trailer video. You can hear Marks verses going into the chorus. I LOVE it so much, can't wait.

That one i liked
