Should've said "We'll Be Damned"

Something I think I used to think about that set toypaj (and also bcr) is that before toypaj there weren't many "title drops" on blink albums, but on toypaj there's a title drop in almost every Chorus of ghe album. I think that's something I used to like but that sort of bugs me now.

I'm just saying it fit into the era not that it was as bad as the others.

Douchy dark like nu metal and post grunge.

Stftk is much "douchier dark" than Adam's Song imo. I feel like Adam's Song fits more in the classic 90s emo alternative thing and stftk fits more in the nu metal era (even if it isn't nu metal).

At the time i felt like toypaj was the album that could stand up to all the other stuff, but in retrospect I feel like it sort of caters to it compared to Enema. The Rock Show and First Date as singles definitely didnt though, but stktk maybe.

Steamer Trunk is such a great tune!

I consider Enema Cheshire Cat part 2!

Hard to say. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten into it if they didn't sound like that.

To me there's something extremely lame about the "dark" music happening at the time. Especially compared to the boybands. I feel like a lot of the allegedly dark music at the time that would've fit a lot better as boyband music to me. 2001 was just a terrible time for rock music imo. With Enema everything felt so light and upbeat and poppy in a natural sounding way. But just a year later we would get stuff like New Found Glory and Linkin Park and sum 41 at times that really mixed hyper commercial and often brilliantly written pop songs with super heavy riffs which was a combo that never sat well with me and I think toypaj leaned more into that that Enema or even what blink did after toypaj.

It's only Friday but I'm taken back by this.

I think they're one of the best 80s hardcore bands.

You a 7seconds fan?

I've also thought a lot about that the target audience of Enema were the people least likely to listen to it. I'm not sure if I'm right about that.

Yeah. A lot of toypaj is like that for me.

20 of you tombots

I remember him wearing a cap that said sox in it. Which is a dissonance as it was a cap not socks.

I'm a sycophant other.

It's cool you guys are excited about this.

Mike Dirnt did play on the classic album How to Make Enemies and Irritate People and the classic single Suzanne Is Getting Married. I remember Mark saying in an interview about Green Day that it was so cool Mike found time for that right around Basket Case being a hit.

I just saw this without the context.

I think Derek era is my least favorite trio era.

Should have just stayed Matt and Dan and become Alkaline Duo.

Same

Were the releases for First Date and Stay Together for the Kids switched in US and Europe?
