Just overall vibe of it, the joke tracks, album art, etc. There was nothing else to compare it to at that time other than Enema and Dude Ranch. Which were largely upbeat and summer fun vibes. So I do remember that actually, it was their 'slightly cooler, slightly edgier' wearing all black time. In retrospect, it's really close to Enema Why would they be able to compare it to Dude Ranch but not Cheshire Cat? Interesting take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I thought the same thing. When he started describing his take on first hearing TOYPAJ, I thought he had jumped up and was talking about Untitled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take Most fans did not know about Chesire Cat really that were casuals? They knew about Enema and some Dammit and Josie. Even Dude Ranch was not that popular compared to their mega hits. At least not MGK level popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but we were talking about Rick Devoe, their manager, and his take on it while listening. So surely he knew of Cheshire Cat buddy. And casuals wouldn’t have had Dude Ranch either anyways.

You literally make no sense though. We’re talking about Rick Devoe listening to TOYPAJ and for some reason you proclaim that there is only Enema and DR to compare it to (obviously a false statement)…then you wanna talk about casuals as if casuals would have ever owned DR in the first place…there is literally no cohesive thought to your words.

It's pretty obvious we're talking where Rick Devoe wanted to take/keep the band. They were widely known as this pop punk summer band that made Enema, ATST, WMAA, Dammit. TOYPAJ was slightly heavier/darker feel to it (before First Date/Rock Show), just the way it overall sounded and the way they started dressing, acting - Happy Holidays, Fuck A Dog, Shut Up, etc. In retrospect, it's nothing, and closest to Enema. At the time, we didn't have Self Titled, Box Car, Ava, +44, Neighborhoods, etc, etc. Just Enema, and a couple songs off Dude Ranch were their known image. Tickets to Diddy's downfall - 3.0 are we on now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is you made a ridiculous statement that only enema and DR was available to compare TOYPAJ to, which again, is just utterly false and stupid.

And still do. The more and more I look back on everything, the closer they actually were to boybands than I used to think. “Hey let’s try to show everyone we’re not a boy band”…proceeds to all start wearing the same outfit and colors…lets their non-musical manager tell them they need to write cheesy songs they end up hating…I still say First Date is such a lame song, especially with where they were in their careers at that point. Yes, the video was great but they could have made the same video for any song 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it that friends who know I’m into blink assume I’m rocking out to first date 😅 lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
