Blink182's New Album

[Joe Matt]

Well, it's been about 5 days I've listened to it now, and I have to say this is a REALLY GOOD alblum. Not at all the childish Blink from past years, much more grown up and offers some good punk/rock (ok more rock then punk, but it blends nicely). I love The Fallen Inerlude myself, and I'm digging the rythm to All of This, but my biggest problem is that Violence is just like The Current, with the anvil and everything! Just there isn't any airpoles or PVC...

Blink went the same route as Good Charlotte did. Rocked the underground, got a deal, made a good record [in Blink's case, a few good], sold out and changed their style so that stupid little girls can wear wife-beaters with "I <3 ROCK STARZZ OMG! TRAVIS IS A HAWTIE" in red sharpie on them and boys can be uber-cool punks with their mascera tears, black nail polish, and a Blink 182 Hoodie.

Do you consider Green Day to have sold out? Their current sound is rather diffrent then their indie albums.

If you want to see something interesting, get the International Superhits DVD. Watch all the videos in order. Watch how the stickers on the guitars change. Its very interesting to see how they change over the 12ish years that the videos cover.

People grow up. People change. Its been nearly 10 years since Blink-182 released their first album. Do you expect them to keep making the same sound? If it sounds alot diffrent from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, consider all the sideprojects they were involved in durring those 2 years, BoxCar Racer is the big one. Experimentation keeps music fresh.

I also like how Blink-182 followed Good Charlotte...
Blink has been around 10 years more then GC has.

Now you can go back and join the music 'purisits' who will complan of another band who was good when they were indie but became popular, 'sold out' and now suck.
