"Neighbourhoods" is like wine, it gets better with time. People weren't ready for this album, including myself. Sometime later, I loved it and still do! ❤
Sorry but i wouln't call it underrated. I'm a big Blink 182 fan since my adolescent years. I love all of their albums, but as i think Neighborhoods was a good one, it wasn't a great, different or outstanding effort. It just isn't up there with Blink 182 or with TOYPAJ. Let's not even talk about how this one compares with Enema of The State or Dude Ranch.
Nah, Ryan, I kinda agree with you. I don't think you can judge any Blink against any Blink album. Enema of the State is now one of my least favorite hind sight as they've grown....but it took that album to grow and I loved it when I was a kid. I'm 30 now. Their newer works relate to me more. Neighborhoods was good, but that it wasn't celebrated like Enema of the State may have been due to Jerry Finn's death. He helped Blink achieve what they did. Blink's music is era-istic. Early on, their immaturity was awesome....loved the dick jokes and stupidity (as in funny videos). The self-titled and Neighborhoods albums both just felt like a change in that demeanor. I feel like I've grown up with the band. Immaturity, some maturity, and a bit more mature...will always be a fan of this band. This all being said, I listened to Enema the other day....and thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of it. If you like it and think it's awesome, fuck it.
It was recorded in separate studios for the most part (With the exception of 3 or 4 songs) due to Mark Hoppus living in London, while Tom and Travis lived in California. Dogs Eating Dogs was a follow up EP they released a year later in December. Boxing Day was a Christmas song, but the other tracks aren't. It's actually a very solid EP. If you haven't already, check it out!
+TasShuffler Me, as drummer, I can tell you that this is easy when you have experience, sometimes I play 2 or 3 hours (including this song, I play punk rock, covers and own songs), I can play without getting tired, to tired, lol, I love drums!
Robert Lewis completely different styles. metal drummers use double bass, travis does not. No one is better or worse when you are comparing apples to oranges
Whenever I Feel So damn pist or depressed, I go on Spotify and listen to FOB, MCR, P!ATD, Green Day, blink-182, Sum-41, ATL, BMTH, BVB, SWS, and anything I'm going to listen to later. blink-182's music is given to us cheer up, like Mother's Day, Dick Lips, Just About Done, Transvestite, and Built This Pool. The real Therapy comes from All Time Low.
RockMusic Reviews its a simple drum part. listen to Matt Graska's parts in Animals as Leaders group, he plays solo everywhere:D ( sorry for my English:) )
Genius! Cold, dark and modern with subtle changes from how punk usually is written without moving away from the genre. They knew they had to do something highly modern and fresh with this new album and this song is a proof of that
One thing among the monay other reasons why I love this band. No matter how old I get.... High school feels right around the corner. This band keeps me young! 🤘🔥
Been listening to every song since July 3rd denver show. Best band in my life time grew up on them since I was 4 or 5 and waited till I was 27 to finally see the boys and it was worth it.
After reading Mark's and Travis' interview on Tom and how much they struggled in the last several years to motivate Tom, the intro where he says "We got a show to do!" over and over sounds more and more facetious and tongue in cheek everytime I replay it. Interesting.
Mark, Tom and travis toured for 10 straight years together after and before enema of the state. they broke up after that. try going on the road with 2 of your friends for 10 years playing the same songs every night and see how you feel after year 2.
They used to turn them loose in the night like fucking Jekyll and Hyde they were supposed to be having the time of their lives but they were dying inside. Oh wait nevermind those are lyrics on this actual album. So once again it's not bullshit brother it's the truth spoken by their own lyrics.. It happens today and every single day to talented beloved bands and shitty bands alike, all over the world.
Travis is the best drummer ever, Tom is the best crazy man with the best voice ever and Mark is the best smart crazy man ever! LOVE THEM! ♥ blink 182 forever!
One of the greatest things about Blink 182 is their ability to have fun and put on a great performance and interacting and joking with the audience, it brings the concert to a whole new level, plus i never laughed so much during a concert b4 :D
For as much as people didn't like Neighborhoods when it first came out, I think it's fair to say we'd lose our collective minds if a banger like this was the first single off their new album.
I realize he played guitar, but people saying they miss Tom I'm assuming are talking about his vocals. If they miss his guitar playing...why? The dude's not Jimi Hendrix, Watson.
If I wouldn't have seen this video and was just listening to the song, I would have guessed it was 10 years old. This totally sounds like old blink, very fast, energetic, and to the point lol
I have to respectfully disagree. While I do enjoy all of their work, Mark's songs are almost monotone. There isn't a lot of range or variety. Epic builds ups though.
Take off the gloves We fell in love by the side of the road This desert will break you down The veins you cut Your smoking tongue is the end of us all But you only care about Fame and fortune Watching others tortured Casting your reflection Grocery store perfection This is the last time Sent to the front line With dirty boots on the ground You said I'll make this all mine You seemed so sweet at the start But the start's all wrong You say you speak from your heart But your heart's all gone Yeah your heart's all gone Blackjack and architect Let's drink ourselves to death The crimes of everyone Passed down from father to son Hopeless and destitute Destroyed by gratitude Your strongest lines of defense Are all just self-inflicted wounds You seemed so sweet at the start But the start's all wrong You say you speak from your heart But your heart's all gone You seemed so sweet at the start But the start's all wrong You say you speak from your heart But your heart's all gone Yeah your heart's all gone You seemed so sweet at the start But the start's all wrong You say you speak from your heart But your heart's all gone You seemed so sweet at the start But the start's all wrong You say you speak from your heart But your heart's all gone Yeah your heart's all gone
Of course: Dogs Eating Dogs (The song), Disaster, Dont Leave Me, Party Song, Dumpweed, Aliens Exist, Man Overboard, Online Songs. Pretty fast songs. :) And these ones originally drummed by Scott (blink's first drummer) but you can find Travis'' versions via live shows on youtube: Pathetic, Carousel, Josie... If you like Travis, check out +44 and Boxcar racer songs too. You're welcome! :)
Wilkie Ejiroghene Dammit, the music video will have scott drumming but it is one of their best songs, Violence has a lot of Travis drumming and is amazing, Lost without you, a slow song but it has a very unique double dueling drum solo at the end that is just pure amazing. Always, travis does a really unique intro beat to the song using the side of his snare and floor tom. Those are the ones travis really shines, but their best songs (imho) are really everything on every album! =P - youtube Enema of the State full album and Take off your pants and jacket full album
