I was at the perfect age, I was 14 when TOYPAJ came out. 

and really that's the thing about any album-to-album discussion, for a band that's been around so long. everything is tied to age. everything.

jacket came out when i was 24, so the album (lyrically) felt very cringe to me. "kids can't vote adults elect them" on the first track and i was out.

years and years later, i actually like jacket (musically) more than enema.

Tom's vocals on toypaj also rub me the wrong way now.

I prefer them much over what his voice became on albums to come…in my eyes this is the last true blink album

I don’t really keep up with blink news but can anyone update me? Anything happening? They making new music?

They're still as dead as they were in July 1st, 2016.

Travis did an interview just recently where he basically said they’re just waiting for mark to be 100% right mentally after all the shit he’s gone through before beginning to do blink again.

mark says no touring this year. his doctor said he needs until the end of the year to be back to 100% physical strength after chemo.

other than that he has been recording.

Based on the last we heard from him he is. He did an interview a couple of months ago saying basically the same that Travis recently said. Waiting for Mark to be 100% right and then when they call him he’ll be jumping straight in.

This is a really good breakdown of Dammit. I didn't know about the Bass fill in the bridge.

you can hear it on the game stem track. not a fill really, just a little walk down to complete the line right at the end.
