‘If you never left’ might still be one of my favourite songs from this whole era. It’s almost perfect 2024 blink.

That one doesn’t work for me at all. Not sure why. I have been obsessed with Every Other Weekend and no one seems to care for it much haha

Fair enough, sister.

Remember your epic meltdown about 2000s music being just as good as CDs quality were even though you were blatantly wrong and wanted to just be stubborn about it?  I can never look at my little record player the same way again without your vibe ruining it. 

All I remember is you saying out loud that you’ve never had sex with a woman. It came out of nowhere but certainly explained a lot.

Nah I fucking love that song. The whole of Pt2 is great. 

[Coddled Egg]

I honestly don’t think I’ve even listened to Every Other Weekend yet. Pretty sure I watched my boy Littleredguitar2 cover it on YouTube and never listened to the song. 

[Coddled Jan]

Every Other Weekend is good, it just sounds touched up quite a bit and not 100% like blink.  Idk, I'm gonna stay on this hill about rather hearing some grungy shitty Up All Night guitar riffs knowing it's 100% Tom and Mark dinking around in the studio vs some others.

The song itself is honestly like an A though, it's catchy, aesthetically pleasing, nice instrumental all around.  

Like those Mark versus do not even sound like Mark to me - either production or what. It's too jarring to me. 

One Night Stand sounds like some AvA one off song but with Mark & Travis (great), EE sounds like Tom going all out with that end part and the themes (great), Can't Go Back sounds like an actual proper Mark pop song he's been wanting (jarring robotic vocal shit though, again).  AIMH and No Fun are just solid jams but a little forgettable.  TMI still sucks.  That's my final review.  Probably won't hear from me ever again.

Oh and See You, CMO never happened and were just quick turd drops to boost album sales.

i love every other weekend! it feels like a perfect pastiche of the long-burgeoning love for the cure. i think it's really catchy and really should've been in place of fell in love on the main album. plus the production is softer than some of the other OMT stuff.

[allsystemsgo]

No Fun, IYNL, and TMI are the only ones I come back to. Everything else on PT. 2 can go.

If you listen to it right before blink wave its fun as hell. I like “blinks occasionally 80s” moments haha

I'd have to find them, but there are a few studies which have demonstrated that music we hear as a teenagers and young aged individuales is the music that stay with us forever. Nothing after that has the same staying power, and it's something related to the 'groing up' thing along with the music we are surrounded of in the process during that period, in which we are settling ourselves as individuals.

Yeah, I heard about this in an episode of Criminal Minds ages ago 😂 it's true that I can't fall in love with music they way I did when I was in my teenage years up until my mid-20s. Of course there are new bands I've discovered in the last 10 years that I love, but I usually give the their albums I like a few listens, and if I REALLY REALLY like them, then I listen to them for a couple of weeks or a month but then I move to the next thing. 

The truth is I always tend to go back to old stuff I love. Or like it happened to Diddy, I got into a lot of new-to-me music. Music that's always been there but I never got a chance to explore better before.

I'm really surprised that Blink Wave is so polarizing. I think it's great, it's like a spiritual successor to Always. I agree with @Kay and @boxelder that modern Blink reallyyy shines when they bring in their 80s new wavey influences. I think it's a perfect touch to combine with their pop punk roots to keep things fresh and creative.

Blink Wave, Every Other Weekend, One Night Stand, and Can't Go Back all have that feel in my opinion, and those are 4 of my favorites of this era.

[Champ182]

In fact, I'm really surprised that there's much polarization about this era or the new music at all! Haha. I certainly don't love everything they've put out so far, but the ratio for me is skewed WAYYY in the positive direction, and that's something I never expected to experience again.

Songs I love and go back to often:

1. Anthem III
2. Dance With Me
3. Terrified
4. One More Time* (music video needed)
5. More Than You Know
6. When We Were Young
7. You Don't Know What You've Got
8. Blink Wave
9. Bad News
10. Turpentine
11. Other Side
12. Can't Go Back
13. Every Other Weekend
14. If You Never Left
15. One Night Stand

Songs I like enough to enjoy when they're on:

1. Edging
2. Hurt
3. Fuck Face
4. Childhood
5. Everyone Everywhere
6. No Fun

Songs that don't do it for me:

1. Fell In Love
2. Turn This Off
3. Cut Me Off
4. See You
5. All In My Head
6. Take Me In

If you would've told me at the time of the reunion that we'd get 27 new songs over the next two years, and 21/27 would be worthy additions that fit right into the heart of the Blink catalog, I would've wept with joy haha. Yeah the mixing is a bummer in a lot of places, yada yada yada, I'm still just purely enjoying all of this crazy era.

[Coddled Jan]

Blink Wave is literally a dog poop compared to Always, please don’t.

when we were young is such a fantastic blink song, theres that emotinal power in that chorus vocal from tom its like hes forcing it to fit in but its what also makes it sound so cut trough and taking

im bothered by now more talking about how great that one is, lyrics r great 2
