  1. Not on topic, but has anyone heard Yoshi's remixes of the Love albums? Pretty great stuff. He honestly turned a lot of those songs into gems.
  2. How many times have we heard that bullshit? We'll probably get more crap like California and Nine.
  3. They know all know the damn fools will eat it up. They can keep the dream alive that Tom will return the band..... whilst promoting their projects.
  4. When Tom sticks to the stuff he knows how to write, he's an amazing songwriter.
  5. I like it. That's what you can say about Tom. He can make a catchy song. He also can make those feel-good songs. That's what I feel Blink has been missing the last 4 years.
  6. People who chargeback are scum, especially when it's going to a good cause. I hope Mark takes this further and gets the money.
  7. Tom's always been a talented song writer when he sticks to his roots. It's what Blink have been lacking the last 5 years.
  8. It doesn't even state he completely sold the rights: Tom DeLonge said: “It is an honor to have been playing music for so many years and to be in a position to partner with the great team at Hipgnosis to support my work." It clearly states he's in a partnership with them. Seems like he'll still get royalties but not to the amount he was getting.
  9. I'm pretty certain Blink will do a tour with Angels and Airwaves. Mark did say he would be open to it in the past.
  10. I never liked Nine at all. Bland album that was written by a billion different artist because Mark has had writer's block for like 10 years now..... and Matt adds absolutely nothing to the band. Tom may not have gave a shit about the band before he was let go, but Blink are a much worse band without him.
  11. "Why can't we get divorced for Christmas? 'Cause it just isn't the same" At least they're self-aware of how terrible they are now.
  12. Better album than California, but definitely not a good album.
  13. Oh dear. What a disappointment this album really was. Very average to shit songs from start to finish. I know Blink have to change their music to keep it fresh, but this was just so different that you couldn't even tell it was Blink for most of the album. You literally could tell it was written by a bunch of different people. Like seriously, not even one good and catchy song in the whole album? It just felt very bland to me. Black Rain had potential, but then it went to complete shit after 40 seconds. It felt like they wrote one part of the song 1 day and came back to it weeks later. Pretty much sums the whole album up to me. Mark and Travis should have just started a side project and asked Matt to join, because this is not Blink-182. It's so far from Blink-182. At least then we'd understand if they were trying something different; Mark and Travis did it with +44, which worked out pretty well at the time. But to me, they're doing more damage than good to Blink's legacy. But I guess we all know why they're using Blink's name. I guess the kids of this generation will like this type of music. But this isn't the Blink I used to love. Before you say, "oh, they have to change. They can't make music like they used to." I get it. I understand. But it's like they're just trying to force out music that fits the music of today. I would prefer if they took a risk with their music. It's worked out many times with Blink in the past, so it wouldn't hurt. And when Blink did change their music, it still had the Blink-182 feel to it. That's not what Nine had. It just felt like they made different music for the sake of it. I'm now certain Tom is the most talented song writer out of the lot of them. He always knew how to write a catchy song and get Blink in the right direction. Am I asking for Tom to come back? Probably not. But Blink will never write another good album again if he's not there. It's just the truth.
  14. Anyone got a link of the album they could pm me, please?
  15. I'm just hoping we get 1 good song from the album. Let's be honest here, we've had 2 terrible songs, 2 average songs and 1 song that's really short, so we can't really class it as a song. About 95% of the album has been written by other people (that includes Feldmann) with the help of Blink-182. Pretty shocking that they literally can't write an album by themselves anymore.
  16. I have no hope for this album at all. California was pretty bad, but at least it had some catchy and Blink type of songs. These songs from the new album do sound like they were written by other people. I honestly think this is going to be the worst album they've ever made.
  17. It's not a bad song. You can tell Blink are clearly missing Tom's input. He just adds the energy to songs. He can also write a lot of catchy music.
  18. Not the best way to sell copies of their album or sell tickets for their shows if they're trying to piss their hardcore fans off.
  19. It's clear they meant this as a serious and fun video, but it literally doesn't match the song at all. Now they could have shot it in a nightclub or have them riding in a car or something.... at least that would have made more sense.
  20. I'm sorry, but if this is the direction Blink are going in with their music videos and their music, I have no hope for them at all.
  21. What the fuck did I just watch?
  22. People may have criticized their music from 1997 to 2004 at the time of their releases, but after like 6 months to a year..... a lot of people generally accepted it and realized it was actually good music. Neighborhoods has been out for 8 years and a lot of people still don't consider that album anywhere close to the level of their music from 1997 to 2004. California has been out for 3 years and a lot of hardcore Blink fans hate that album. You literally can't say the same thing about their last 2 albums because enough time has passed for people to give a proper opinion. If Mark's stating people always complain when Blink bring out new music no matter what, he's clearly off base. It's also a bit of coincidence he's bringing this shit up now because their new album is coming out in like 3 weeks.
  23. I guess Mark can't take any criticism with his work anymore.
