”you guys just don’t get it. It’s because it is boring that is why it makes it such a good song. The repetitiveness is key to it being it exciting and different to the rest so that makes it an instant classic”

Not liking Carousel as a blink fan is such a wild opinion that you almost have to give him credit for being brave enough to speak it, lol.

Brave is a strong word. I'd argue 'stupid' would be more appropriate

The other song I skip is Bad News because it's too loud and exhausting. I always listen to all the rest.  

Wow, this surprised me. Bad News for me is top 3 on OMT, easily. I love the dynamics of the song, Dude Ranch vibes, and bridge is amazing.

yeah Bad News is fucking awesome

Bad News is a homage to 2000s pop punk and Mark kills it.

I too listen to it with headphones on, and the sound coming out the stereo.  Otherwise it is over produced/loud.

Ready for my defamation lawsuit on b182online.  I said I like the rest of Cheshire better, not that it’s a bad song.

The people who hate on Fighting The Gravity are the same people who cried about Violence when it came out.  When you’re old and gray you’ll be back here just to post I’m right and I appreciate that

Also, Rick Rubin should produce the next album. Full, complete control forfeited to one man. See what happens. It's the perfect time to try it

I actually think this would be a good/interesting match because Rick Rubin DOESN'T take complete control. He's the ultimate example of a producer who is just a facilitator and a shepherd who keeps the creative vibes going and tries to help the band be the most "pure" version of themselves.

I've heard some really cool interviews with him about his approach, he's much more likely to say "alright this idea is interesting, but why don't the two of you go into the other room for an hour and come back with 2-3 more ideas we can try out and see which ones feels the most like Blink 182 to you?" than to be like "hey here's a chorus idea I have, I recorded it in ProTools already, let's put your vocals on it!" which kinda seems like more of the norm with producers nowadays.

Anyway, specifics aside, if Blink ever works with a producer again it would definitely be someone very hands-off like Rick Rubin because of how much they value their independence now and how confident they are in self-producing.

Sass Dragons can imagine more than Imagine.

Sass≥>>> Imagine by a lot. That song is 2010 to me, almost.

Violence is overrated.

Bad News is one of the best songs on OMT
