I feel like between Wendy Clear and Anthem is a pretty good spot for it. I honestly don't think it would fit on the album. It seems more mature and less straight up pop which is what enema is.

It's funny to me that the song Jerry didn't like, was one of their more mature songs. But then again Enema of the State has Adam's Song on it, and that's definitely more mature than Man Overboard is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I think Man Overboard could have been a good closer, love that song. Anthem was just okay, but anthems were a 'thing' at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 It is interesting, I always knew Man Overboard was written in the Enema era but I always sort of associate it more with the TOYPAJ era. To be fair, the two eras aren't very different. In my mind I actually consider those two albums part of the same era of blink, but TOYPAJ does feel slightly different. Blink "eras" are sort of split by album pairs in my mind. Cheshire and Dude Ranch are early blink era. Enema and TOYPAJ are their own era. Untitled and Neighborhoods are the hiatus era (lol, I don't actually have names for any of these eras), and then California and NINE are the new era. It's not perfect because obviously Cheshire and Dude Ranch are different. Untitled and Neighborhoods are different. Cali and Nine are different. But they kind of still all work as pairs at the same time. I dunno I'm just rambling at this point lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 To me TOYPAJ and Enema are two very separate eras. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Enema and TOYPAJ are similar but yet at the same time they're world's apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthem was just okay, but anthems were a 'thing' at the time. Man Overboard probably would make for a better closer. BUT, i really like the thing they've got going on where Enema of the State ends with Anthem, and then their next proper album, TOYPAJ, starts with Anthem pt 2. There's like a sense of poetry or something there that I wouldn't want to disturb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do think Man Overboard would've made a great closer as track 13 on the album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enema I think of red shirt Mark, backwards hat Tom, TOYPAJ I think of baggy black clothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindemulder Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I always felt bad for Scott Raynor that they made this song.. I mean its not wrong, but its just that they make this hit about him from their perspective, and since he was not in the band anymore he didnt really get the chance to speak his mind and are just silenced in some way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I like it, but I don't think it could replace any Enema songs, except maybe "Don't Leave Me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
