great thread idea. i've sorted them by album

 

dude ranch

waggy has this really unusual tom riff in the bridge/outro that is so weird, and i just think it's cool

apple shampoo for how wildly inventive and unorthodox it is particularly in its song structure. it follows no rules, straight autobiographical

 

EOTS

the tambourine part at the end of dumpweed with that weird gated reverb effect

roger manning's organ and piano parts across the discography, specifically the bright organ in wendy clear (and synth in always)

mark's bass part in anthem 

 

TOYPAJ

bridge of please take me home (let's go!)

the sound of the drums across TOYPAJ, particularly in songs like SOALG

the layered guitar parts one-by-one in anthem pt 2

the bridge in online songs (chef's kiss... crazy hook)

"i never did quite everything that she asked... in spite of everything! in spite of everything!" in EILFY

 

untitled

808 hits in obvious

all of stockholm syndrome, but mark's bridge is craaaazy

i think go is some of the most harrowing lyrics in the discography

asthenia's wavy guitar effects and handclaps

easy target/all of this transition

the acoustic guitar in the final chorus of not now, @Kay took mine. lmfao. such a great choice to start the last chorus out that way

the overall sonics and depth in i'm lost without you, especially in the outro

 

neighborhoods/DED

bridge in GOTDF is a aural feast, even with the muddy production. it's everything i wanted the band to be post-untitled, and where i wish they could return

chorus riff in when i was young is an all-time tom riff

 

california

the way in cynical matt's vocals fade out faster on "are you back again", leaving mark left by himself, like he's alone with his anxiety, and alone without tom

i actually really like jack hoppus's screams in KOTW, i think they're rad lmao

i'm a SUCKER for "then you kissed me like a storm at sea" [piano riff] "like i'm the only one you'll ever need" in teenage satellites

bridge in misery is top-tier

 

nine

heaven is extraordinarily underrated altogether, one of the saddest songs in the catalog.

i have no notes about pin the grenade, i just like it. just one of the better, hookier songs in the matt years.

 

OMT

jangly guitar part in the verse of bad news

all of anthem part 3, it just really works.

the riff (!) in dance with me, another of tom's greatest, and his vocalizations on the outro

i like the riff in WWWY but don't really like the song. it's just another distinctively tom riff, no approximation or AI could emulate it. just very him

childhood is controversial and very hammy and phoned-in, but i love the chiptune outro

i've been very consistent in my love for every other weekend, it's so good

 

I thought this was Jan’s comment the way Cheshire Cat was neglected.

Here I'll do it so ppl get off my back:

STRINGS, one of the most underappreciated songs of the entire blink catalogue - just mood all around, amazing Tom guitar behind top tier Mark verses. "I will do anything, and that's what scares me so bad" is one of the most real Mark lines.   Starting here, best point on the album.

 

Cacophony slow to fast transition middle of the song is top tier "Sometimes I don't feel, the same way" harmony part is epic.

M&Ms Mark exit vocals next to the main riff is great

Touchdown boy intro guitar, Peggie Sue breakdown guitar + Tom vocals over it

Fentloozer Scott high point, the main chorus groove really shines here.

Now that I think about it, it’s really easy to find good things about Cheshire Cat. Just the guitar parts alone in Touchdown Boy and Wasting Time are great. Back when Tom had passion for playing guitar.  Now it’s “JuSt a tOoL”

[Kay]

The solo in Strings is phenomenal

I skipped the comment when I saw it started with dude ranch. Cheshire deserves way better.

[Emil]

Always had a weak spot for Mutt's intro on EOTS. Something about the drums and bass just hits it off right away for me.

 

Dude Ranch has some of my favourite moments as well, the first minute of Enthused, the outro to Lemmings and the entirety of Apple Shampoo among a fex. 

[Elisa]

I will always answer with the intro of Enthused & the guitar part that starts after the bass solo on the bridge of A New Hope. 

[Jan Mortensen]

I just realized Anthem 3 reminds me of a mix of Waggy and Enthused.  The beginning guitar parts at least.

Which proves they need to make another Dude Ranch type album.

(which is why that intro guitar part is one of my favorite blink parts)

The build up intros of Anthem Part 2, Violence, Dumpweed, Carousel, Ghost on the Dance Floor,

Bridges of Asthenia, Feeling This, Here's Your Letter, Adam's Song, Everytime I Look For You, You Don't Know What You've Got, Everyone Everywhere, Obvious, Please Take Me Home,

Verses of Hey I'm Sorry, Pathetic, Kaleidoscope, Feeling This, Stockholm Syndrome, Natives, 6/8, Turpentine, Violence

Choruses of Feeling This, Wishing Well, Obvious, More Than You Know, First Time, No Heart to Speak Of, Last Train Home, Violence, When I Was Young, Kaleidoscope, Here's Your Letter, Untitled, All In My Head

Pre-choruses of Kaleidoscope, PLG, Every Time I Look For You, Boxing Day

Outros of Anthem Part 3, No Heart to Speak Of, Obvious, Easy Target, Everyone Everywhere, Feeling This,

Pretty much every Tom moment when he shouts like Feeling This verses, Stockholm Syndrome verses, More Than You Know pre-choruses, Go choruses, Easy Target bridge

or every moment Tom and Mark do the call and response vocals

or when they harmonise and it just sounds so damn good like the verses of Ghost on the Dance Floor, pre-chorus of Boxing Day

Love the heavy riffs like Up All Night, Snake Charmer, Obvious, Stockholm Syndrome

or the one note riffs like Dumpweed, Adam's Song, Stay Together for the Kids, Reckless Abandon, Wendy Clear, Dammit

or whenever Travis goes crazy like the I'm Lost Without You outro, Fighting the Gravity Outro, the intro of Heart's All Gone, outro of Generational Divide

There's so many good moments even on the albums I'm not a big fan of

The drumming in Time To Break Up.

That fill in the last chorus when all the guitars take a pause is ace

[thongrider]

The bridge in TTBU is also a good suggestion!

That song has grown on me massively recently. I wasn’t that arsed about it because it was a bonus track but it’s a really great pop punk song
