blink-182 – Bored to Death
I don’t know if it was the hype of this new blink album, the fact that my buddy kept messaging me every few days about it, the controversy regarding Tom leaving, etc. etc., but whatever it was, the guys have put out an great album in California.
There were songs which went back to their roots, songs which showcased how a 15+ year band can keep their core sound but continue to mature, 30-second songs which were so reminiscent of late 90s pop-punk bands, great little riffs in Bored to Death which honestly made me mad as I hadn’t realized no one had written it before, and some excellent chord builds like in Los Angeles and solid singing from Matt Skiba throughout.
I really enjoyed every track from this album which I couldn’t say listening to Neighborhoods or even the self-titled. It’s fun for these guys to be back. PLUS TRAVIS GOATEE!
