The thing is Self-Titled and Neighborhoods demonstrated authentic maturity. Then with California they went back to childish fart jokes. The last three albums feel like regression to me

[@Billiamwoods]

I personally have basically the exact opposite takeaway. I always thought WMAA was a funny and self-aware song about how immature you are, but if 20 years later you refuse to evolve musically or lyrically, you probably are that person. One aphorism I've deduced from experience with creators is that the "characters" people play rarely don't reflect who they are as people. For example, if someone constantly jokes about being a sexpest, they probably are. Pointing out that you refuse to grow doesn't change that not growing is kind of frustrating. The reason we liked it back then because it's funny to poke at your insecurities and faults, but they just really are like that.

[@wavebuster61]

@@vinceeager8553Actually what in the world are you talking about? California had two joke interlude tracks, sure, but aside from that there isn't a single crude lyric on the entire album.

As a huge fan of Brad, his streams, his channel, and his takes - I have to second the importance of forming your own opinions. This reaction is highly entertaining, but I mostly disagree w/ Brad here. I absolutely love this record as a long-time Blink fan. Is some of the production heavily compressed and super overblown? Yes. But I can look past it because I LOVE THE SONGS. This is, by far, the most excited I've been about Blink since their Untitled/ Self-Titled album in '03 (the cover art of which I have tattooed on my left shoulder - the famous smiley-face logo w/ the turquoise and pink behind it). I'm 31, so I grew up thinking Dude Ranch, Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, and Untitled were some of the best Pop-Punk projects ever made (and for the most part, I still believe this). But yeah, you can enjoy Brad's content and still have your own individual thoughts! I love Pop-Punk, grew up on this stuff, and love that it's making a big comeback.

[@axoharpoon]

Yeah, and I'd also argue that this album is bigger than itself in a way too, it's really about what it represents. 10 years and they're finally friends again, making music again, and most notably still alive. Mark had to relearn how to sing after chemotherapy, Tom had to relearn how to turn off his AVA voice and use the blink one again, there's been a lot of stuff going on. I love Brad's entertaining reactions lol but I've never liked a song on first listen, I think that's my problem with his channel for the most part. You gotta revisit an album one, two, five times before you can make a whole opinion on it haha

[@SeanLearyMusic]

@@axoharpoon yeah it's pretty awesome what this all represents, but even on my favorite song on the project, "TERRIFIED," you can tell how aggressive the compression is. Not looking to knock Brad, he has become one of my favorite youtube channels period. I just don't like the group-think sometimes

[@axoharpoon]

@@SeanLearyMusic yea, I hated him a while back and would hate watch his videos but his reactions ended up just making me laugh lol so i became a fan.

I remember when "Edging" came out and being strangely disappointed that they were a lot more mature when I was in middle school... 20 years ago. I'm all for having fun, but everything they've done Post-"Neighborhoods" has just not interested me and this new one left me bored. Where's the creativity and sense of rediscovery? Pop-punk in general has had this problem of figuring out how to age gracefully, which makes it a tough genre (that I still look back fondly on) to really appreciate. What's also odd is that I'm indifferent to Paramore and they're one of the few elder statesmen that still have some artistic integrity to respect.

The song is more of a thought that Tom, Mark, and Travis have had in their minds throughout their careers as Suburban Moms had nothing better to do than get riled up at immature 20-somethings talk about dicks and butts. It's normal to interpret the song as blink talking like they're a washed up comedian about to punch down but the writing wasn't written with that in consideration, which leads to the expected misunderstanding. I'd still put it down as a mistake on their part.

Tom's speaking voice is like that "nasal and young", he just naturally sounds like that in general. But he does sound like he tries to be more bratty on some of these songs where appropriate. The whole Angels & Airwaves style singing, softer and more relaxed does work for some blink songs, but a lot of fans and critics alike complained that he was getting too soft in the vocal department. It sounds like on the new album he does a bit of both. I do agree that More Than You Know is one of the best songs on the album though. As a blink fan I love Turpentine the most. But More Than You Know is a genuinely well-constructed song that I can see a lot of people who aren't even fans enjoying.

Just reacting to the title and first few minutes. Why is there this idea that the moment you hit 40 or 50 your life stops? You csnt have fun songs? Cant have sex? Cant have deeper songs mixed it, or reminiscing about youth? Like what? Im sure when were 50 we still will like fun, sex, and new found maturity mixed in and most likely recall awesome times in life.

[@fearsomewarengine8228]

you've been listening to music with Loudness EQ on this whole time? yikes bro. RIP dynamics

[@druklimack2111]

Hating everything doesnt make you a critic

[@liamcpg6590]

There was a much better pop punk album released same day as this one. Losing What We Love - Knuckle Puck. Would love to see you react to it on stream or something

[@keygasm]

knuckle puck is good, but blink is better

[@liamcpg6590]

@@keygasm blink is definitely my overall favourite band. But the quality compared to the 2 bands latest releases. Knuckle Puck smashes Blink with the mixing, songwriting and overall sound of the record.

[@Kyle_etc]

A little bit of a newsflash for Travis: if you need to turn off atmos, which is supposed to make audio sound better, your mix is probably bad

[@ggunkp1]

no, dolby is the apple music mixing thing and it makes rock sound pretty bad, on phones ut very easy to switch out, by going to control center holding volume button and should be there. his mixing does kinda suck though

[@AmericanIdiotPolitics]

Bruh spike stent mixed this lol

[@Mr_Crypt]

The people in the chat had no idea what they were talking about, Atmos isn't on Spotify

[@jamescarlisle4109]

I'm completely convinced you listen to podcasts all day and disavow music as a relevant thing in general.

[@mrseaweed88]

It isn't as bad as nine or California... But that really doesn't say much. Especially since the drums were defening, the bass is inaudible and Tom literally cannot sing anymore 😅

[@cxrt420]

To me it’s one of their best albums.

[@keygasm]

the bass is inaudible??? lmaooo bro u are deaf

@@i_fuze_hostages6 listen to Dance With Me. chunky bass tone bro

[@beanpasteposts]

@@cxrt420It's not their best album, but I definitely still put it above the Skiba ones. NINE is probably their worst album. The Jerry Finn-era ones are untouchable though (Enema, TOYPAJ, and Untitled).

[@Figurehead.]

This album is nothing but bangers through and through

[@championdger]

Interesting to hear this point if view, I like all of them.

never thought id see forever the sickest kids on a brad stream, n also i have never heard of that ron browz remix lmao

[@eeeeeeee9084]

This is definitely gonna be a controversial one. Though despite how much some people liked it and me wanting to give it a fair shot I wasn't a fan minus a few songs.

[@Ben-qn6ws]

Drums are very loud and over compressed. Travis (the drummer) mixed the album, so it’s super drum centric lol. That’s why you hire a mix engineer

[@fearfulstatic]

As someone with severe ADHD, it takes a lot to sit through a podcast or video essay. But I can sit through most of Family Man by Black Flag, an instrumental and spoken word album. But when I listened to this new Blink album, I had to leave my computer after 3 songs. Not because I got bored, but because this was so unlistenable.

[@krusher181]

DRUMS

[@ISEKAI1455]

Does this do anything but bash on everything, i skimmed through the channel and its all just, "this is trash" "this is terrible" like honestly broz you do you but dont bash on peoples stuff just cuz it gets you attention

[@sollamander2206]

Fell in Love sounds like a holdover from the Skiba era, and not in a good way. I like the songs that have more of a Neighborhoods vibe. Jerry Finn is sorely missed.

[@SalveASMR]

It's only horrible when Enema and Nine are the only album that you listened to.

[@krusher181]

Enema is their biggest album of all time. Tons of good songs. The vocals weren’t annoying yet… I dunno I’d say they peaked back then. Very obviously too

[@katoffeevhs9798]

dude you can't use effects like normalizing. it can completely change the production sound

[@chrisoreilly1029]

Such an unfair review of the album. Absolutely horrible.

Congrats on 300k Bradward Ten-tickles!
