    Further evidence Feldy saved his best songs for post blink:

    Conspiracy theorists have been doing good this year, safe to bring back out the Feldmann was sabotaging after infiltrating Travis due to long standing jealousy of prime blink?

    This song is dope. Thank you for sharing 🥰

    Got my AAA yesterday and I'm 2942/3000. 😔

    I listened to AAA EOTS twice and also the CD version from 1999 in between. It's not a revelation, but man the compression is gone and you can single out things like Travis' drumming a lot better. Some sound-effects are definitely easier to hear and isolated more, like the one on Mutt (it's like a bang that happens twice). I could see somebody preferring the CD version because it seems designed a bit to be all on top of each other and hides I think a few shortcomings i.e. the vocals and since the sounds are more on top of each other. Tom & Mark's singing on the record is at times very ...poppy? They sound obviously layered and goofy but you're hearing it much more pronounced and less buried in the mix which is a bit jarring. It's always been like that but you hear it much more clearly and you can tell they were trying to make a POP-punk record with vocals to sell it with effects and all. If you prefer the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show version of the songs, this might be a reason as they have a looser, rougher touch. I do wonder if that was them trying to make a somewhat of a re-imaging of that record with a more traditional blink sound from the get-go. But overall it sounds great, way more dynamic, and doesn't feel like any real liberties were taken. However my gf thought Mark was singing "I wish it didn't have to pee so bad" on Wendy Clear 🤨. I think there's just this weird higher vocal pitch they were going for that TOYPAJ abandoned (thankfully). It's still the record you've always known and for my money, the best way to listen to it. The quality of the packaging is better than a typical blink pressing and it came with a record of authenticity, so heh. The two biggest upgrades for me were Adam's Song (even prettier and more potent) and Anthem (Tom's vocals here are actually great and used well on here).

    If you have any interest in blink-182 on vinyl, I say pick it up while you can. Enema is already a well made record (I believe it was all on tape, then fed to protools for correcting/effects) and a total re-working/mix of it would be hard to achieve ... and that's if anyone in the blink camp thinks it could be made better (with Jerry gone, nah). A more distorted/layered affair would be interesting but I think it would require a total re-imagining of the record, maybe using out-takes etc. I have to assume Dude Ranch or Box Car Racer will come, and my goodness, I will be buying that too. 

    lol for years ive always said it could be “I wish I didn’t have to pee so bad.” I haven’t delved in to this yet as it came in the mail just before work the other day. I listened to dumpweed real quick but with not enough attention to listen to the details. I plan on rocking it all this weekend. I got copy 312/3000.

    I splurged and got the Enema Of The State DSS One-Step vinyl and I'll let you know how it is when I get it as it shipped out the other day. I don't have a fancy set-up, but I did get Dre's The Chronic DSS One-Step they also put out, and it's great.  

    I got it too. Paid for it a couple months ago. Just got the noticed it was shipped yesterday!

    I was way out of the loop - I thought Green Day was going to perform at halftime, similar to when RHCP popped up during Bruno Mars's halftime show awhile back. When did Green Day play? I never saw them.

    They kicked off the Super Bowl and played at the start of the broadcast at 6 pm EST on NBC.

    Would have been nice, but at the end of the day they bent the knee which is no shocker.

    Have you ever seen that video where they got spooked and ran offstage? Bunch of pussies if you ask me. 

     

     

    I was at this show dumbass. Comerica Park in Detroit. There was a drone flying around and security rushed them off stage. Weird you think that is some “gotya” moment. I don’t really care what you think about Green Day though. Again, you literally voted for Trump multiple times and you were too dumb to realize what we were all telling you for years until it was too late. You don’t get to criticize anyone for “bEnDiNg tHe kNeE.”

    Thanks for the laugh this morning. First off GD are the biggest bunch of phony hypocrites to walk this earth. Do you really still buy their anti establishment schtick while they play the superbowl and suck the corporate tit everyday of their lives? Sounds like you are stuck in 2004. Or maybe even 1994. Jesus dude. 

    Second, do you seriously think the solution to everything going on is some tiny 54 year old man, with an equally miniature guitar, with dyed blond hair and botox, saying "MAGA agenda"? LMAO! Yep- That will sure slow the wheels on a dictatorship! Good job as usual Ditty!

    Cry harder. I know what they are dude it’s not like im saying they’re fucking prime nofx or some ultra anti-mainstream act lol. They just have a big platform and it woulda been cool to see them shit on Trump. Youre way overthinking it per usual. You got us into this fucking mess so why don’t you get off your fucking ass and go make yourself useful?

    Why would I be jealous? Green Day are one of my favorite bands from the 90s/early 2000s.  Blink just reigns supreme. #1

    Except for you have no metric other than your personal feelings to put blink #1. That’s why I can’t take you seriously. Green Day is 1a and blink is 1b. If you can’t accept that, then youre a fucking clown who’s opinion will never be taken seriously on anything else because you don’t look at things objectively.

    Billie Joe looks like a lady who cut my hair one time.  They sound good though.  All American Idiot songs, like I said, clinging on.

    please tell me that’s not Noodles with them. Looks identical.

    nice backtracks by the way pretty clear on American Idiot right now @fap how does that make you feel?

    Youre such a hypocrite dude. You’re a clown, and once again coming from a place of jealousy and envy, so I won’t even bother addressing your lies and false statements here. Cope harder
