There's just such a genuine innocence in Boxcar Racer's "There Is". I think we've all felt that way about a girl before and miss it.

The bass player forums in the noughties hated Mark Hoppus so much.
They dis show some range in their stuff, much more than the other pop-punk bands of the era.

Because he’s not Flea, Justin Chancellor, Billy Sheehan, or Getty Lee.

Inspired by The Cure, and 'Love Cats', also collaborated with Robert Smith on other tracks..
They obviously have great taste in music, and they hit the mark on this track, definitely one of my early 00s tunes.

For a band that usually had the fast paced punk rock songs, I feel like them doing this "ballad", if you can call it that, shows the potential for how good their range really was. It's probably my favorite Blink song.
Music Vid
It's their best song. It's a great damn song.

Not to mention side projects like Box Car Racer and +44 which are both great as well.

On a side note, I actually like Tom’s band, Angels Airwaves’ first album “We Don’t Need To Whisper”. It’s great from start to finish, no track skips necessary imo.
Fact. Album is really REALLY good.

Because he played eighths at the root with no variation, and many players resented his visibility over other players who they felt were underrated. For example, Tim Commerford of Rage gets no mainstream credit as a bass player specifically, even though the melody to songs like Bulls on Parade were, according to him, reworking he did of one of Coltrane songs, I think it was My Favorite Things. Tim’s work has been consistently stellar, and he’s really thoughtful about his tone and where it sits in the mix.
Though what Hoppus did on those records wasn’t out of the norm in pop punk, he wrote some fun lines. Carousel, Cheshire Cat and Man Overboard were fun lines. It didn’t reach the level of originality that someone like Mike Dirnt reached with Green Day though. Basically Hoppus had a lot more room to be creative as he was in a three piece, and chose simplicity. There is something to be said for that, but the view at the time is that it wasn’t artful, and gave the impression to the wider public that bass only could double the root.

The bottom line is that “critics” always hated Blink for not being what they wanted them to be rather than appreciating them for what they were.

No one deserves appreciation. Most of Blink's critics were from punk fans, who had to be incredibly disappointed that the punk pop and skate punk aesthetics ended in Blink. The emo and emo pop scene from the same era produced some absolutely stellar work that was more "punk" in its approach. Blink was cookie cutter in comparison.

He played simple bass parts in a pop punk band that was popular and he was visable and famous. More talented bassists playing less popular music were jelly

Reminds me of my first solo apartment in a six-plex house in downtown SLC and hooking up with my downstairs neighbor. I had the balcony and view, she liked Blink 182 and things worked themselves out. Good times.

I have these words in chunks of my stool and I can't make sense of them either.

In this blink thread... this excerpt reads just like a blink song if you read it like they would sing it
