M!ke Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Alright, just hear me out, you know Mark, and how he is on Twitter and all that. I feel like if enough people kept pestering him about a 20th Anniversary Edition of Untitled on social media, that maybe we could get his attention on just the idea of doing something for the 20th anniversary of Untitled next year. Especially since they did do a 10th anniversary tour for the album a decade ago (holy shit), they know how important that album is to so many people, and I'm pretty sure they all regard it as their best album at that. I desperately want there to be a deluxe Weezer-style anniversary album for Untitled. One that includes all the songs, the b-sides, alt-mixes, maybe even any unreleased songs they had back then if there were any. As I said elsewhere, in addition to the 14 tracks of the standard album you would get something like: 15. Not Now 16. Another Girl, Another Planet (maybe) 17. Hope (maybe) 18. I Miss You (James Guthrie Mix) 19. Down (TLA Arrangement) 20. Violence (Feeling This sinlge version) 21. Action (if a good early mix exists of this beyond the Madden '04 version that's just censored and lacks the 'Get Ready for Action' part) 22. Shoulda Got Caught (there must be some full mix of the early Asthenia that we could hear based on how much we already have) Beyond that, international versions of the album and singles from the album included these live tracks that maybe could be on like a separate EP with such a deluxe album (or omitted entirely I suppose, they aren't integral, though I really like the Minneapolis versions): Rock Show, Anthem pt 2, and Carousel live from Chicago I Miss You and Rock Show live from Minneapolis Go BBC session I believe there were more pro recorded songs from the Chicago show that could be included too. But I digress, and I'm getting away with the premise here, it could just be a small selection of these extras and I'd be happy (Now Now and the I Miss You and Down alts should all definitely be included though, if nothing else). Really I guess I'm just saying I hope they do something for the 20th anniversary of Untitled next year (again holy shit, where does time go?), even if my dumb call to action here amounts to nothing lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I say leave the poor guy alone, he doesn’t have any real control over any of that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Pestering Mark would amount to nothing more than annoying him and probably make him be off the idea more. Remember when people kept pestering him about playing Online Songs live and he got sick of it and just decided they’d never play it? This is what pestering him would do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted them for my own archives and Jake worked with the label to track them down and digitize them. Pulled out of storage. The reels baked. Digitized." blink have demonstrated time and time and time again that they are not a backward-looking band. no deluxe editions, anniversary editions, non-album track collections, etc etc. they just don't care and it is not their thing. the most anyone could hope for next year are some 20th full album shows like they did for enema in 2019. but i wouldn't hold your breath.

Hit me up Jans ex Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 They did an Untitled 10th Anniversary Tour? That’s news to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Seeing an untitled anniversary show in person is my dream concert. Obviously I’d love it more with Tom but even with Matt it would be great. I loved the Enema 20th anniversary show I went to with Matt.

They do need to play Online Songs though. Untitled and Enema have both gotten anniversary treatments. Maybe TOYPAJ will get some 25th anniversary attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Eh I wouldn't really be interested in much of that since it's already been out in the world this whole time, but early demos and stuff would be a dream come true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who was a fan when the album came out remembers that it was polarizing. It's just that a lot of the people who hated it stopped being fans and aren't particularly involved in blink spaces anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many fans still consider it a masterpiece for some reason. I am not one of those fans lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
