Great thread dammmit.


Punk music as a whole is so good at making you remember "them times" in your life.

How was their comeback album? I haven't gotten to hear anything from it and I haven't heard a single review.

Some songs were hit and miss for me, but I liked the album overall. I must say that I liked the self titled album, most of +44 and the first Angels and Airwaves CD so that gives you a sense of my Blink taste.

ETA: you can tell they just got back together and it wasn't as tight as their older music. A unifying identity was missing. I think they are on the right track to put out an excellent 2nd CD however(post breakup.

Adam is down with Blink

I enjoyed Neighborhoods quite a bit, it seemed like a half good album to me, maybe a bit more.

Could definitely tell it was the first album after a long break. Their 2nd album will smash it most likely.

I enjoyed Neigh or hoods a lot more than most. Was very turned off at first, but it really grew on me. Kinda like an old very good friend finally coming back around. Blink is my favorite band hands down

I loved Blink..Feelin this, Adams song, shite I would jam out to All the Small Things in middle school. Dammit ( the song)made me buy a guitar.

Blink 182 was one of those bands that sort of define some people's childhoods. I wasn't one of them though

I was totally going to post this today. I've been rocking the 90's for a few weeks and Blink continues to be repeated.

It's good to see the younger guys appreciating Blink 182. I've loved this band for a number of years. They are timeless as some of you have mentioned. Their music takes me in so many directions and for each song there is some sort of memory that pops into my head from my youth. Especially all the shity break ups with various girlfriends


Here is to Blink 182

Their best two albums were Enema of the State and then my personal favorite Take off your pants and Jacket. I saw them live on that tour and Green Day opened for them. It was a bad arse show. Green Day is a great live band BTW.

Bumping this thread since they announced an EP set for December release.

Tom is actually excited about Blink again.

I was the biggest Blink fan back in the day, still listen to them. I went to see them in 01' and 02', one show was with Jimmy Eat World when Blink opened up with a flaming frick sign and the other with Green Day which was insane. There won't ever be another "dude ranch" but will still check out the next album.
