The blink 182 general discussion topic

[blink182.net - Jan]

TOYPAJ sounds really good but it’s definitely their least inspiring/lyrically impressive album (not counting Cali-Nine —annoying we have to do this now)

I want to put it below NH often, but it just sounds so.. iconic & definitive of the band’s sound.  OMT can be even worse lyrically.. but also better at times.

I feel that way about most of the album. But I feel like the music makes up for the lyrics in that song.

For sure. The tones on the album are incredible and the music is great.

Not at all, but it is probably their weakest album lyrically. The music is top tier though.

Agreed. Jerry Finn knocked it out of the park for this album.

The lyrics are cringe looking back for TOYPAJ but they knew what they were doing with their fanbase at the time. I know you were too young, but for us adults in the room this shit hit like crack when the album came out.

Yeah I was a chiltlin when it came out, but we all got each CD to sneak the bonus tracks/joke tracks on against our parent’s wishes.

I remember

How cool would it be to see the lost footage from the Mutt music video ??!

I asked the director of American Pie on Twitter if he still has that lost footage and said that he doesn't have it

I posted proof of that Mutt video from an article from MTV News back in the day (September 1998) where you could download a Real Video from that Mutt video shoot, so yes footage exists!

From the Creative Creature podcast (source) : 

Turns out they weren’t just making a cameo — they were also filming part a lost music video as a cross-promo with the film.

That's awesome! I hope it turns up someday !

The sound of TOYPAJ is absolutely perfect. 

When it comes to instrumentation it has to be Finn's finest hour for blink. That shit was absolutely dialed in front to back.

The homie Travis is producing Sublime’s new album. Can’t wait to see how he ruins their sound lol. 
 

P.S. - I spy an SRH shirt 😏

Who is their singer now? Last time I heard anything about them they were called Sublime With Rome, is this Rome fellow still with them?

No, they dropped Rome and Bradley’s son Jakob is the frontman now! That’s him in the bottom left pic with acoustic guitar.

i'm not a big sublime fan but i think it's so the right call that they continue to tour the nostalgia circuit with jakob at the helm. like everyone else, i liked the 1996 self-titled record. nowell had a lot of talent, and the songs endure! that said, i think the weird approach he mentions in this rolling stone article -- combining riffs and melodies in a venn diagram of sorts to "match" his dad in memory -- is a super weird clinical approach to making new music, but whatever!

Yea, I think it’s a cool way to carry the band on. It was never right to have Rome in the group. His son sounds a bit like him and obviously I don’t think his Dad would mind that his song is carrying the torch. This is actually a band that could benefit from loud drum and bass sounds so I’m curious to see what Travis does with them.
