When this album came out my younger self was totally split... I wanted to love it so bad. But something about this album just doesn't feel right...

This is their 2nd best album, it has the best replay value of all the albums . You can listen to this no matter what age and still relate to it which can’t be said for most of their other albums.

Don’t get me wrong , I love those records , and some of my top blink songs come from the skate punk era . Heck, I listen to those albums from start to finish every once in a while but I keep mostly coming back to self titled , neighborhoods, and dogs eating dogs , and topaj. Could it be an age difference?

This album sounds like way more of a direct continuation of the untitled album than Angels to me. The only real difference is the vocal style which I actually prefer for most songs I listen to this album more than any of their others

It's their best tied with Self titled and Enema. I love this album. Sounded like a natural progression from 2003. Everyone mentions the guitar on this album and the drumming obviously BUT. No one talks about Mark's bass tone on this album. It's so aggressive sounding. Like a hungry street dog.

I love this album, but I’m the opposite of you I guess. I like when they blend their side projects together. That’s just how their music has evolved ever since TOYPAJ. I’d like to see some consistency from you on that topic because you definitely didn’t criticize Tom for bringing the Box Car Racer sound to blink for the Untitled Album. Maybe you just don’t like AVA and that’s why you don’t like that sound in the Neighborhoods album? Blink’s sound has just evolved/matured at a perfect pace for me as I grew up. So, when this album came out I was a fully grown adult and this just sounded like a good adult version of blink 182 and I loved it. I respect your opinions though, music hits everyone differently.

I agree with you! That's how untitled came about in the first place. It's just so complicated with blink, because AvA and plus 44 should never have existed. And regarding my inconsistency with box car racer/ ava: the box car racer sound just fits with blink, it's also a bit punchier etc. And sure, it's probably more what I want to see in blink (personal preference). But I really like AvA! It just doesn't go with blink for me. But I'm probably very special in that topic 😂

Massive fan of Blink. (just saw them in London Oct 23) I am currently working from home listening to your re-review and have to say, spot on so far. Hate how much this album is basically just AVA. I am a fan of that band but blink needed to be separate from that project. Also this album suffered from them recording most of it seperately

I really like this album, there are exceptions with the track ''natives and heart's allgon'' which I simply can't listen to, but in general I like the sound, there are songs on this album that need to be heard more than twice for you to start liking it, But overall, I think it's a good album.

I stopped listening after Enema came out (I was 17). I felt like I grew up and Blink was ‘high school’ music. Then a few years ago I just randomly put this album on and was pleasantly surprised. Felt like they grew up and really liked it… then I immediately dropped off again after Tom left.

I just don't connect on all the reasons you hate this. The basis for your dislike just revolves around AVA. I just don't see that as a bad thing. I'm in camp - I thought Terrified was one of the best song on OMT - and a lot of that has to do with it being very BCR. I think that's a good thing! I feel like your criticism isn't based around "is this good music?" and just does it live up to your expectations.

I totally get the whole "too AVA-sounding" thing. It was my greatest stumbling block with coming to terms with this album. By all means, a fine work, and a step towards further maturity for Blink at the time. But it just wasn't them. I always saw it as a bit of Tom using Blink to work out some of his AVA b-sides before pissing off again. Mark's input was better, but still not great. I preferred his heavier +44 stuff. I also loved your reaction to 'Up All Night'. I was exactly the same: the intro, I actually liked quite a lot; the verses were really cool; but once the "get me straight" pre-chorurs came along, I was like, "Oh no, Tom, please not here ... ". Somehow, I never have gotten the hype over 'Even if She Falls'. It does nothing for me.

I think this album suffers from the context it was released in, because the songs are really good lyrically and musically. But the context hurts it badly. At that time, Tom was way too focused on produce everything himself, without relying on external producers and labels. So the sound felt that hit for sure. The recording is not great, and 2011's albums from other bands sound incredible, it shows. Also, I think this album wasn't on Tom's grand plans, because it came in the middle of Love Pt. 1 and 2, and he repeated some ideas from those two albums. Those AVA albums are some of the best compositions he's ever done, and that's because he gave them all the time the songs needed. Neighborhoods didn't have that treatment in my opinion. It was a somewhat rushed album and it shows. Tom was still wayyyy too much on the AVA mindset, he couldn't change the music because he produced every single song on both bands, and even for an amazing artist like him, it was just too much. Tom fortunately realized this and brought Ilan Rubin into the band to be his sidekick songwriter and producer, and AVA really was reborn, because the major AVA albums are outstanding. Mark hadn't recorded new music in years at that point, it shows. And his participation on this album is ok at best. The first SIX songs on the record almost don't feature him, you can barely hear him sing in 2 choruses, and even after Heart's All Gone, his participation goes down again. It seems like he maybe felt too overwhelmed by Tom's output. Mark's songs here are not that good. And on Travis's side, he was collaborating with every musician you can think of at that time. He was more of a collab musician than a band member. He went all in in this record, bringing a drum solo on almost every major song. His drums doesn't sound good, but as a drummer myself, I think some of his "drum riffs" here are very very good. All in all, it's a miracle that they made this album under those circumstances, and that it's THIS good. Because the songs are good. It actually shows that the three are great musicians. They just lacked the vision and the time to make it better. My top songs: -Ghost on the dance floor -Up All Night -M.H 4.18.2011 -Wishing well -Even if she falls

Hallo Marc, I completly agree with you on this one, I am not saying this album is their "worst" but it is deffinetly my least favorite, and music is something completly subjective after all. To me this album sounds like 80% AVA ft Mark and Travis and 20% +44 ft Tom. Too many unnecesary synths, not a lot of cool riffs, an attrocious amount of reverb on the guitars, not to mention Tom doing vibratto with his voice everytime he is allowed to... there are so many things on this album that just doesnt feel like blink.
