One More Time… Official Discussion (Constant Tug and Nut)

[Coddled Jan]

This album really deserves to be played front to back. Shuffle or individual songs just does not cut it and the songs all complement each other well.

I’m putting it below the classics, but it’s gotta be the best thing to come out in the past 5-6 years easily for me.

[just_bringing_good_chats]

it doesnt feel like an album it feels like a batch of songs like a mixtape

as individual songs theres fantastic songs in there 

anthem part 3, terrified, more than you know, one more time

but as an album i find it a very poor effort

Blink changed the landscape of music and influenced a generation.  Dragonforce was most known for having a tough song on original Guitar Hero.

I'm not saying I'd rather be blink, but that objectively makes them "better".  Fuck your sonic landscape. 

Most importantly is that you're on a blink 182 message board.  It's specifically for fans to go to and talk about.  Why it surprises you they are fans of the band here is beyond me.

Changed the landscape of music for the worse…oh yay a bunch of whiny, Atticus wearing, dorky PG rated blink knockoffs infiltrated the market and emo became popular. Yikes. And since you like to cherry pick things for your narrative, and you’re claiming blink is better than dragon force because blink is bigger…I’ll just leave this here: 

Albums sold worldwide

blink-182- 50 million Green Day- 75 million

Grammy Wins

blink-182 -0 , Green Day 5

blink-182- not in rock n roll hall of fame 

Green Day- been in the rock n roll hall of fame for over 8 years now

So by your standards and measurements of success, surely you must be able to admit Green Day is far superior to blink-182. 

It’s hilarious how the argument is always “blink is better theyre way bigger and made a bigger impact” and you measure that on mainstream success…until that doesn’t work for your narrative anymore like when pointing out how much better Green Day’s career has been than blinks. Then you want to pivot to some other argument “BuT ToM LoOkS cOoLeR!”

What do people think they will work on/release next? An EP or straight into another album? Personally I'm down for an EP.

I'm looking forward to band news once the tour kicks back up in February.

I'd imagine after touring ends next summer, may take a couple months off and start in the fall or even work on some stuff on the road.

Also real shocker Jan and Ditty still fucking yelling at each other. Move on dudes it's fucking old at this point.

I hope they keep more active than they've been over their career. My dreams: an EP to promote tour early next year (aroung february), something to celebrate Untitled 20th anniversary (which was in november) and/or releasing unreleased stuff, special editions, live set, whatever. Possibilities are endless, specially for blink, whose vaults are absolutely closed.

But in blink's realm the more accurate scenario will be more like this: new video/single to promote tour and keep the OMT flame alive aaaaaand that's it, at leastuntil next full lenght, which can be happening sometime between late 2025 and early 2026. I mean, I can see ending tour, taking a rest and starting to work in new ideas in the begining of 2025, so next record could be done and released in a similar date than OMT or later.

Wasn't there talk of them having quite a few songs that didn't make OMT? If true then they could possibly use those for an EP.

Ilan did say there's still more songs that are ready to release. Curious to see if they go an ep route next year at some point.

If he said so, it may be it. But, honestly, when bands release the 'second' batch of songs off of the same recording period... it uses not to be as good as the first one. I mean, maybe they have a huge album on their shelves, too. Who knows?

I still find it way more entertaining than the neutered sunshine-pumping on mark's discord.

Lol, just a few days ago I'm taking shots for wanting blink to get a Grammy win, now it's being used by the same crowd as a metric for success.

I thought commercial success meant nothing? You literally just took a shot at me over liking music that pandered to the radio on this very page.

No wonder you love "Insane Clown Posse" so much, you are a clown ?

Yes, give me all the clown reactions. This wicked clown is just trying to collect them like Pokémon! Also I never said mainstream success means shit to me. I was pointing out how it’s used to fit narratives here (blink better than dragon force), but ignored when it doesn’t fit others (blink better than Green Day). At the end of the day I don’t give a shit about a Grammy lol , you can save those all for Taylor Swift .

p.s. - go cry some more like your baby back bitch quarterback 

[Champ182]

I'm not sure what Blink will do next, but I definitely assume they'll release SOMETHING next spring/summer to promote the tour. Since it's technically the "One More Time Tour" I could imagine a little OMT B-sides collection with one of them being promoted as a big single.

[Nosferatu]

I've seen Mark have his guitar out with cables plugged in on his Instagram stories at his own studio room during the last 2 weeks. I'm surprised no one spoke of that on the boards

Could be signs of more blink stuff yet to come or he's just messing around on guitar

Some of the bitching on this board gets real old, nothing of substance being said. It's like slamming a dictionary shut on a pile of shit while looking directly into it.

This weird sock account has gone through my EP thread to clown each of my posts.

I’m not sure who I’ve upset but it’s fucking funny.

Yeah, I got caught in the crosshairs for complimenting your cover art and song
