3. Everyone grows up
Both Mark and Tom were fathers by the time they were recording the untitled album, and Travis’ wife Shanna Moakler was pregnant. All three band members were growing up, and the band had existed for 11 years. Just like a child of that age hitting the awkward years of adolescence, the band were suddenly uneasy with the identity they had crafted.

“Travis was like, ​‘Don’t think of this as the next blink-182 record – think of it as the first blink-182 record,’ ” Mark later remembered. ​“So we had this mindset that we weren’t going to second-guess ourselves… or worry if people are going to accept it or if it sounds like blink-182. If it was an idea that we wanted to pursue, we were gonna pursue it. And so we tried out all these different ideas and it was like a musical laboratory.”

its amazing that song with Robert smith as well from
The cure is a rare moment from Blink-182

5. Find inspiration where you can
There are writers who find inspiration from beautiful views, from walks in forests, from intimate relationships. For the untitled album, blink-182 found inspiration in weed and looping pay-per-view p***ography, holing themselves up in a rented house with enormous amounts of both.

Reminds me of Kanye he would have p*** in the studio during the mbdtf era

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 glad you’re are here. @Changeofheart

9. Some people’s brains just work differently
Speaking of the video for Always, it’s bonkers. It’s an amazing-looking three-way split-screen that kind of blows your mind if you think about how it was done. Filmed in the studio usually inhabited by Australian children’s act The Wiggles, and starring pop star Sophie Monk as the whole band’s ex-girlfriend, there’s some camera trickery, some incredibly tight choreography, some old-fashioned theatrical quick-swap kind of things, as well as tearaway pants and an endearingly knackered bunch of flowers.

Watch it, and try to imagine how that would be planned out on paper. No idea. Well done, director Joseph Kahn.

“That was the most technically difficult thing we’ve ever shot” Mark later recalled. ​“It was really difficult, and we were drinking a lot of red wine, so it became increasingly difficult…”

@Changeofheart @vanity @DonutHole you up for another session in about an hour . Dogs eat dogs or neighborhood’s I was thinking 🤔

I'm down

I might be sleep by then. But what are your thoughts on those compared to self titled?

Self titled is the goat🐐🐐🐐 I don’t think it can be topped. EOS enema of the state and take off
Your pants and jackets are 🐐 to as well.
I’m a huge fan of neighborhood’s though still for what it is. It’s a great question. Kk
Excited for a new listen of neighborhood’s I will say though to have a refresh. Nine though I don’t even have anything to say about and California has San Diego a great song. Dogs eats dogs is great for an wo though ! I like the yelawolf remix of pretty little girl a lot as well

naw for me it was the old line up in their prime w Green Day in their prime w jimmy eat world and saves the day as opening acts

went w one of of my white friends when I was like 11 years old

woah

I’m down in honestly 10 mins 15 mins if you are. @DonutHole if you wanna join as well of course.
Dogs eats dogs is an ep and neighborhood’s is a full album with a deluxe even it’s your choice which one. Since one is obviously a lot shorter.

Hearing dysentery live would
Be ultimate

I agree both are really good. I’ve honestly not bothered to listen to nine or California. Blink without Tom just doesn’t feel right

nine is woat

I would have to say I
Would have to
Hear California more before judging the whole thing, as I said Dan Diego
Is really nice at least. but nine just wasn’t for me honestly
Blink without I’m doesn’t feel right ! Facts 🐐 Facts
