I disagree, that was obviously an awesome round of music from Tom but short lived as fuck and has been a down slope ever since.

When Tom was 'seemingly' happy (90s-pre Boxcar) he seemed much more sustainable and focused as a musician.

So you agree untitled has been grossly overrated and overhyped on this board?

It’s probably my least visited blink album. Rather listen to California 

I wouldn't go that far but it's not very high on the revisit ladder for me either. 

Personally, I'd go

TOYPAJ/Dude Ranch 

Enema

DED

Neighborhoods

Cheshire 

Untitled 

Buddha 

Nine

California

Untitled is the better album in a technical and song writing sense. I guess you can enjoy Nine more but you'd be an affront to God and eventually you'll get your comeuppance. 

I wouldn't rank Nine above Untitled, but Cali definitely.

No, Untitled was great as a one off, hence the "short lived" success from emo Tom.

Musically, it's probably their best, but I think Dude Ranch - Toypaj was more defined blink and what they're all about.

Been saying it for years.

It's not overrated you bitch.

I will say I listen to Neighborhoods more but that's nothing to do with where I'd rank Untitled.

I don't think there's ever been an album I've listened to more on my walkman. It was perfection because you could just skip the last track and start over.

I will say songs like I Miss You get overrated now (still a great song) but ones like Asthenia, Easy Target, Stockholm get mad undervalued. They're masterful.

If I go track by track and choose that way:

1.    Feeling This vs. First Time = Feeling This 
2.    Obvious vs. Happy Days = Happy Days
3.    I Miss You vs. Heaven = Heaven
4.    Violence vs. Darkside = Darkside
5.    Stockholm vs. BIOMY = Stockholm
6.    Down vs. GD = Down
7.    The Fallen vs. Run Away = Run Away
8.    Go vs. Black Rain = Go
9.    Asthenia vs. IRWIHY = Asthenia
10.   Always vs. PTG = PTG
11.   Easy Target vs. NHTSO = NHTSO
12.   All of This vs. Ransom = Ransom
13.   Heres Your Letter vs. OSES = HYL
14.   Im Lost Without You vs. Hungover You = Hungover You
15.   Not Now vs. RTFM = Not Now

Untitled= 7
NINE= 8

It's close, but Nine wins for me currently. 

This is so dumb it's incomprehensible.

I hope you're trolling, otherwise, seek help.

Oh this is interesting!  I went through and some of the matchups are unlucky.  For example I am so sick of Down, but it being matched up with GD is tough.  Pin the Grenade against Down? I'd never listen to Down again hahah.

My only real disagreements are the Always/ILWY matchups.  I have always loved those songs, kinda wish they weren't sandwiched together at the end and more spread out.

At what sense does it make to go side-by-side like that? Ever? Especially since some albums best songs are at the beginning/middle some are at the end, and with the interludes too??  Come on, my guys.
