  1. My two cents: 1. a return album like this does better by the fans when it's made with the right attention to nostalgia; it appeals to those of us who missed Tom in the band, pays respect to the deep lore (Terrified), and "rights" the "wrongs" done by Cali/Nine by resetting time a bit. Hey, we're the blink who wrote Anthem pt 2, here's pt 3! It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's more appealing to a large fan base and gets them back into better graces with people who care too much (me). anyone who didn't like blink before is very unlikely to start now. 2. as much as I love the album, there's plenty to be said and discussed about the production and the future. I look forward to seeing what they do going forward, as I think they now have the foundation back in place and could keep trying to push themselves creatively. that said, i don't see this as a rehash at all. I think it's more creative than biased reviewers are going to give it credit for, but you have to listen to it more than they're likely willing to. I'm loving the album, and I'm thankful for that. The boys are back, and I look forward to getting more music.
  2. Album has its hooks in me https://imgur.com/a/unlcN53 Edit - I was hoping this would auto embed because this forum's max image size is terrible. Around 300 total streams so far
  3. There's something so...soothing? about the melodies. I'm constantly singing "What if I'm not like the others? A broken man, a Frankenstein..."
  4. Had the album on on repeat this whole week, already in my top 5 albums this year 🔥
  5. Really impressive to me considering it's a slow acoustic song
  6. Favorite song so far is Terrified. Definitely gonna be my most played from the album for a while
  7. I appreciate the leak links from those who sent them over, but I've decided to wait until it's out officially so I can sit and enjoy it properly. I've been in the office and want to feel my feelings all alone at home 😂
  8. Does anyone have the full album to share? No big deal if not, I’ll listen at midnight, just figured I’d check since I’m late to the party.
  9. waiting til Friday to listen to anymore so I can have lots unspoiled 😎
  10. it's a song that's made for an album sequence. it's not gonna be most people's favorite, it might get skipped a lot, but one day it'll become your favorite song for a week and you'll develop a proper appreciation for the way it fits into the album.
  11. Incredibly fun song and so different from MTYK. This album is going to rocket up my stream list for the end of the year haha
  12. second these, they've been my set for years.
  13. Also should add that I'm really loving these now. Last week I had a few reservations, but now i'm just jamming. MTYK is so so good.
  14. It's nice to see they're still doing good numbers on streaming with new music. Too many legacy acts these days release new music and don't even break a million plays and it's sad to see
  15. Last night I grabbed my guitar, spent a few minutes to try and play One More Time, had a nice time. Felt right, since blink was one of the bands that really got me into learning guitar on my own after I quit lessons.
  16. I'm gonna check back in here later whenever my recent bout of depression chills out. I swear I should feel way more excited for this than I have been today haha
  17. serious question, why do people here hate that song so much?
  18. The high and low vocals in verse 2 of OMT 🤌
  19. I'll always do my due diligence on a leak, but it's amazing how much less I care than i used to. I used to feel so much fomo if i was late to something and now i know the day is going to fly by and it won't even matter. plus proper releases are better quality 99% of the time
  20. I'm still catching up on the thread, but I wanted to throw a few thoughts in here... 1) legit the Rubins made Tom's production sound bad for years. I think Lifeforms sounds better because other people were involved, but there's a muddiness to everything they've touched of Tom's that hasn't shown up anywhere else. 2) on a more serious note, it's been weird how on a personal level, blink's trajectory has mirrored periods of my own life. 2014-2015 were terrible years for me, 2016-2019 were progressively better but still had a lot of weird stuff, and now 2023 has been the best year I've had in 10 years with a lot of processing of trauma, healing, and repaired/improved old friendships. Seeing them in a similar place and also living through the impossible of blink getting back together properly is seriously cathartic. I couldn't help but think about all of this when listening to New World because that was such a low point for me and the music itself reflects the weird chaos that the blink camp was in at the time. thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
  21. haha i've been super out of the loop on most of this, so i just assumed this was another single tease.
  22. Is One More Time gonna be the name of the album? I don't think I've seen anyone mention that, but I could see it
  23. haven't posted here much or been on the site in a while, but i'm actually excited for new blink music for the first time in so long. gonna be a crazy ride if it lives up to the hype
