Dude Ranch at #8 is so fucking bad.

I feel like he automatically puts records in slots depending on the lineup and current status, rather than the quality. 

My guess is DR is so low because it's a Scott album.

Was about to post this, I just deleted my previous post. Thanks lol.

I had no idea Matt was gonna be on it outside of doing woah’s. Got chills when he came in. He sounds amazing. I dig the song but it needs like a chorus or something (if there wasn’t already one). Didn’t Matt say that the album they were working on after NINE was actually completed before it got shelved due to Mark’s cancer and Tom rejoining?

I think they were gonna release a deluxe edition for NINE, but that got scrapped. There was also a collaboration EP they had planned but IDK if anything ever leaked from it. “Same As It Ever Was” may have been one of them, as it was very EDM-y. I figured they would've added the other collabs from 2018-2019 to the EP and included a couple others.

I’m guessing “Love’s Not Pretty” and this song would be on the hypothetical 3rd blink-182 album with Matt Skiba. I think everything worked out in the end but fuck I miss Matt sometimes. IDK why Mark has to hold the Skiba era hostage but I’d pay for all of the unreleased material, even if it was released nonchalantly in some gimmicky format on his website.

Yeah, I never thought about it this way, but it's evident from the ranking. It doesn't matter if the songs are good, he just doesn't see them as good as the songs he's made with the best blink lineup possible.

The Dude Ranch anniversary tour is never going to happen. 

[Tenks]

NINE ahh track.

Mark seems to change his mind about his rankings. California was his number 1 when he ranked his favourite blink albums during the Skiba era

Now he ranks OMT up there, which is a fine album but not up there with Untitled/Enema/Dude Ranch. The Untitled album was number 2 on his rankings back then and his rankings from few days ago.

I guess deep down he considers that album to be number 1. He'll give his true opinion about OMT a few years from now. Surprised he has California as high as he does though

I get why he doesn't seem to rate Dude Ranch as high. A lot of bands hate their earlier work but he's gotta give Dude Ranch some props. It's a masterpiece and IMO one of the two best pop punk albums ever.

Seems pretty obvious why he does that.  Same thing movie directors always do too.

Dude Ranch not sure though, Dammit sort of made him and set them up.

Mark’s ranking in 2020:

1. Untitled
2. Enema Of The State
3. California
4. Take Off Your Pants And Jacket
5. NINE
6. Neighborhoods
7. Dude Ranch
8. Cheshire Cat

Mark’s ranking in 2024:

1. ONE MORE TIME... ➕
2. Untitled
3. Enema of the State
4. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket
5. California 🔻
6. Neighborhoods 
7. NINE 🔻
8. Dude Ranch
9. Cheshire Cat
10. Buddha

 

He put OMT on top, and then knocked down the Skiba era albums by one. I think since a lot of animosity towards Tom dwindled, that likely cleared up his vision a bit. I’m curious to see how it changes over time again once OMT is no longer brand new. I have my doubts that it will remain #1 in the long term.

Although he’d never put the +44 album in here to avoid controversy with Tom, I’m very curious where’d rank it.

+44 isn’t a blink album, so why would he rank it amongst blink albums?

Exactly, I’m not saying he would. I’d still be curious though in that hypothetical world. It’s the only other full album he’s done in his professional music career.
 

It’s positioning may even provide more reasoning for why he ranked the blink albums. For example, if +44 were ranked high on the list, it may confirm my hunch that California has been ranked so high due to the fact that his influence played a greater role than usual.

 

It seems like Mark is mainly judging and balancing off of these 3 factors:

- How good the albums were

- How new they are 

- The circumstances with the songwriting process
