WPGBlink Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 These fuckers did it again. I will add some more commentary on this as time goes on but I am just sitting here with my mind-blown. The best way to describe my immediate reaction is this album is legit like your favorite team winning the championship. Seriously. After all the fucking uncertainty, suspense, turmoil, highs, lows, over the years, these guys did it. They pushed themselves, took a ton of chances, and they dropped a creative masterpiece. This album feels like a celebration. There truly is nothing like these three together. Thank you, blink. 3 4 Quote
just_bringing_good_chats Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 i like how the very ending (last choard) of blink wave sounds just like the ending of i think all the small thing on enema, very nice fitting trowback regardless of if intended or not Quote
faithfellshortthistime Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I think Mark's lyrics in YDNWYG might be the best lyrics ever written ? 2 Quote
CozYaDunGoofed Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I think this album might have dethroned Untitled... 2 Quote
ben182tx Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Bad News is like the second part to “Not Another Christmas Song” Quote
Bucko Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I remember the time we fell in love with this album. Fucking fantastic from start to finish. Love Marks harmonies in Terrified. Fell in love has grown on me too. What is this. 1 2 Quote
Locean Breeze - Jan Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Man I guess I’m still nutting, but while Self Titled was a pure cinematic masterpiece that’s hard to top, this has more of an essence of blink behind it. Self Titled has no flaws in it..but this is a ‘bigger’ album if that makes sense. it is a collection of everything they’ve ever done PLUS some sick 90s punk and 2000s music homages. 1 1 Quote

A chill song to finish the album after having our minds absolutely blown. A Gorillaz plastic beach meets Postal Service, but it works because Mark is about that shit. It’s CRAZY. To end on arcade noises made me just grin, this is Blink. 4 Quote

Knapppers Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Fuck just got home from work and wanna finish watching Zane Lowe interview but also just wanna listen to this on repeat. Quote
prankerd14 Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Blink wave should of been a single, its probably one of the best songs they have ever written! Thats not even me being over excited ?? 3 Quote
Bucko Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Slide your mom on top of me. What an elite lyric. 4 2 Quote
Pirate Mexicano Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 I'm trying not to let the newness of it all cloud my judgment... but at the very least, there is an argument that this is one of their best records. Low key, I've always been hesitant about this second comeback considering it was following all the same steps that the first comeback was (near death experience brings them back together, fun reunion tour, etc.)... but this record got out so much faster than Neighborhoods and it is SOOOO MUCH MORE COHESIVE. There were good songs on Neighborhoods, but it was so fucking disjointed. This is not the case here. Maybe Tom does get bored again in a year or two and blink ends for good, but after the last 19 years of us sticking with this band despite all weird shit, they finally came through with everything we were hoping for when they first got back together... and more. Fuck this record is special. 1 Quote

kcx182 Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 After listening to the album once, I can only say the following: They took old blink, blink untitled, +44, Box Car Racer, California, Nine, and this came out. Quite melodic, Jerry Finn would be proud. 3 Quote
OrganGrinderX182 Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Holy fucking WOW the whole thing… just fucking insane. The sounds and musical eras they captured and still made it sound like Blink. But a new fucking amazing blink. Im so impressed and happy and fucking so many other inexplainable things haha 1 Quote
