Aileen Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 So I finally got myself the new album, it's really really different to what I expected, not sure I'm so keen on the more 'abstract/different' stuff, maybe it'll just take getting used to. Have Blink turned into adults or something? I always like to think of them as like Peter Pan characters who arent ever gonna grow up, I think I like the older stuff better!!!Having said that though, the album is fairly rockin, once you get into it!Am I talking utter bullshit or is anyone with me on this?

Dan G Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm afraid I think it is utter poopies.I have heard it and I don't like it, in fact I am pretty much an "only like the Enema Of the State" kinda guy...But like you said, I think they just grew up and just kept making the music that they like so good on them for that.

Aileen Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I absolutely love some of the songs on the album, but some others are just a bit 'not Blink' if that makes sense, it just doesnt sound right. Not sure I'm too keen on the Robert Smith vocals on All Of This but that could just be because I LOVE the sound of Blink's vocals, I think they're awesome! Maybe it'll just take time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 it's not that bad - first few times i heard it i couldn't believe what i was being subjected to - but it's a definate grower, but even now i still can't tell if it's brilliant or art wank.Best tracks are....ObvioisEasy TargetHere's Your LetterYou may also want to check out the super slick enhanced CD part...

threeornothing Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 The album got pretty old pretty fast.....I remember when I couldn't wait to hear "I miss you", no I switch off when it comes on TV/radio.....Bands always take a risk when they totally change style....BAD RELIGION - SlatedFACE TO FACE - Slated (although I love their changed style, although they went back to their roots, same as bad religion)OFFSPRING - Loved (although anyone with half a brain knows their earlier stuff is better)BLINK - Slated (by "enema" fans)GREEN DAY - dunno.....

less_than_stu Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Blink 182's new album is quite good. Some of the new stuff is excellent. Some of the new stuff just kind of blends in and becomes boring. I like the album overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott 5FD Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 if you want to hear good pop-punk by Blink, listen to 'Dude Ranch'. i think it's a really good album, picked it up for 6 in One-Up ages ago.'I Miss You' even gets played on Impulse! Radio (formerly Newsagents Live). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leckie Gilman Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 well personally i think that this one will be an "experimental" one. or atleast i hope it is. at first i was well shocked and angry that they could so totally change like that. but now im over it and it's cool. once you get into it its rockin'.the best song is "stockholm syndrome". kicks ass. and paul "easy target" is THE WORST SONG BLINK HAVE EVER WRITTEN!dude ranch rapes all blink albums.

Camie Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I have to say I hate blink's older stuff(enema and before) although I like the odd songs(such as carousel,adam's song,all the small things,dammit and going away to college). I like the last two albums and think the latest one is quite good. Favourite songs on new Album:Obvious(is the best damn song ive heard by them)Stockholm SyndromeViolenceEasy Target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leckie Gilman Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Originally posted by Scott 5FD:you know it, holmes.'Josie' is my favourite song. indeed. but i reckon "Lemmings" or "i'm sorry" or "Enthused" are the best on that album.

Danny Doubt Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 album is good and thats all i got to say about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 I've never been an out and out Blink fan but I do think they I have lost their "blink-ness" with the songs I have heard from this album. Their poppy/immature/up beat-ness was wha made blink blink. However you have to respect them for trying something new and not sticking with same old formula...shame people can't seem to say that about St Anger...
