The album you never thought you'd love
The new Blink 182 album. They took some time out to learn their instruments, especially the bassist. They collaborated heavily with The Cure. They slowed down quite a few songs and gone towards a regularized ballad tone with many of them. The album is NOT peppy, light, indecent, or immature. It is possible the single best collection of songs from a band I previously abhorred and now respect. I know alot of people are going to write it off as "Blink sucks, oh well" (though they may not voice it), especially since their single "I'm feeling this" seems like just another catatonically-fast, catchy pop-punk hit. However, the rest of the album has a solid foundation with ballads like "All of This", "I Miss You," and "Obvious" providing it a darker, deeper tone to it. If you've enjoyed what Blink182 put out before this, you probably will not find yourself entranced by more hyperspeed punk riffs and catchy lyrics. This album is honestly worth checking out, if only to catch all the songs The Cure helped out on.
