Plus mark I'm sure had a bunch of ideas written at various stages and we know Matt had ideas before those four months even started. I think a single in February is very reasonable and they would have the album turned in polished by the last day of March. That's seven months of working together, the album should be done by then. when all you're doing is recording, yes. but not when you're still writing. i don't think they went in the studio with 10+ finished songs ready to record. writing and finalizing songs before recording them takes time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 You don't think it's a long time to write and record an album together in seven months? That's almost as long as they spent on untitled. I'm not saying it will be done by then, but it's perfectly reasonable to think the album could be done by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but with untitled it took them something like 11 months almost to the day and they knew each other inside out. I would give them longer than that as they have to learn to write together and figure out where the chemistry lies. Also, sure they may well have tons of ideas and half written songs but they'll be spending even more time figuring out the direction, sound and feel of the album. Plus, I think it's going to be scrutinised even more than Neighbourhoods was due to Tom leaving and Matt stepping in. I think they will have had and still have a huge amount to figure out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 in untitled Mark and Tom were in the house basically every fucking day for months on end and then in the studio every day for months on end. They're working together quite often but not THAT often, and it's not a case of writing ten songs, going 'that'll do' quickly recording them and sending them off. It doesn't work that way. it's writing with a new member, making sure the songs are as good as they can be, working on arrangements, and a bunch of other shit before just straight recording it. This stuff takes a lot of time for most bands that's why people don't pop albums out every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 There's also a hell of a lot hinging on this album. If it sucks, blink will be officially dead. If it's awesome, it could reinvent the band for years to come. Not something you want to fly by the seat of your pants on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most bands don't pop out an album every year because of financing reasons and because they're touring, not because it takes most bands a year to write and record.

I'm thinking of Queen in particular and obviously they were absolutely brimmed with talent. Having said that, I guess that was because Freddie Mercury was a fucking genius.

Ghent Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah- if blink was a band that released more regularly then the pressure wouldn't be on this album as bad. but when it's all you get for like 5 years it's crucial that it be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsov Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 My biggest worry for this album, is not necessarily that it will bad, but that it will be forgettable. Both Mark and Matt have had there fair share of forgettable tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's harder to reminisce on the old days since Tom is insane now BUT how fucking cool was that time. That's the dream right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextmarkhoppus44 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Well, rap artists can pump out faster albums, eps, mixtapes, or simply singles quickly. But when it comes to pop or rock artists, it'll definitely take a cool minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
