This is a good point, which is why I hope they write a progressive album and not try to target the same audience they did back then.  Grow with your fans...

Well I just want them to write however comes naturally, you know?  Like I don't want them to craft it in a certain way or to fit in a genre.

 

I want organic blink.

What happened to you Ghent? You used to be cool

I can’t believe untitled is 20 years old next year. Getting old is fucking shit. I just seen a TikTok of the song violence and a comment said old but gold and I was thinking it’s not fucking old and then the realisation hit me ? Jesus Christ

My dream would be for them to work with a rock-oriented producer for an album. Ideally a name who has worked with popular rock bands. But with Travis entrenched in the process, I think we’re stuck with them chasing top 40 appeal.

For real! Get butch vig or Rick Rubin or something , along with a fully committed mark, Tom, and Travis, ready to submit to said producer and work together in the same room to go out with a bang. Tom would return to his old angsty voice and they would make one last record with some balls and great tones in it. Go out with a great last tour and Tom would try and party like it’s 1999. Okay now I’m asking way too much, but it’s obvious they benefited greatly from a great producer (Jerry Finn). Never been near as good without

Self titled is older than Appetite For Destruction was when it came out.

It feels like a blink ago, no pun intended.

Literally feels life has not stopped flying since that album.

Coincidentally, my depression started right about when The Adventure came out.  Fuck you, Tom.

The pun was definitely intended, as no one ever says “It feels like a blink ago”.

Oh, Milk's back.

But no, I literally was thinking back to that album and life since has felt like a blink.

Aren’t you like, late 20s? Weren’t you a kid when the record came out?

like I know time flies or whatever but I was literally 14 when that record dropped, I wouldn’t categorise my entire adult life as a “blink”

Don’t let ‘em bring you down @Funko Pop Sales. A wise man named Mike Ness once wrote “close your eyes (blink) and it’s passed, story of my liiifeeee.” I feel what you’re spitting dawg.

I’m not trying to give him a hard time, for the record.

Ten bucks says I can break Faplord enough to make him whinge for another 10 pages and call me a Republican again!

It's gone real fast since 2003. It has.

I'm resisting the urge to ask him if he only knows Social Distortion from Guitar Hero.

Yeah pretty sure I’m the same age as Jan and I don’t consider the majority of my high school years and entire adult life thus far as a “blink”

Okay? Then don't. What a bunch of negative wankers.

I'm 30. I was 15 when it came out. Life since high school started has essentially been a BLINK.

 

Good for you though.

[Speedo]

One more blink and she’ll be asking “what’s my age again?” on account of the dementia!

No pun intended, of course!

That's great man.  I've lived a pretty busy life since high school began and it's crazy to think it'll be 20 years soon since that record came out.

I didn't think I needed to elaborate on such an apparent controversial take, but for me life was substantially slower prior because summers were essentially fully free as a kid, around when Enema and TOYPAJ came out, life felt like a glorious crawl listening to those albums through it.  Self Titled came out when I first started working summers, then school + work/moving, then adult life.

I can't believe I'm even responding to these trolls.

I remember when I discovered Social Distortion, middle school was a hoot!
