Is this bait?
Isaiah Powell
didn't listen to California but it makes me sad in general. They should've stayed broken up after the self titled, not spoiled a good thing and gone down in history as a perfect pop punk band
BP and PW are my picks because i am predictable as all hell and i dont listen to music
Jose Rogers

Colton Thompson
Neighborhoods and California were great though, and lest we forget that Cheshire Cat is not a good album.
Put your nostalgia aside.
It's a novelty, but it sure as hell isnt good.
Ranch and onwards they never made a bad album.
Jordan Richardson
Dude Ranch is a masterwork.
Elijah Clark
Cheshire Cat is awesome! Carousel, M+M's, Cacophony, Does My Breath Smell, Fentoozler, Strings, Ben Wah Balls, are all awesome tracks I think it's a killer first album
Also Depends gave me so much joy as a kid
Zachary Harris
I just love how angry Mark sounds in almost all of his lines.
Robert Sanders
this is not from 2016
Nicholas Bailey
Tell me im wrong
Adrian Stewart

Joseph Sanders
Is it ever not swans?
Zachary Morgan
you're wrong
Brody Morgan
your wrong
Hunter Nguyen
A really solid album, I'm glad they did this instead of hail to the king part 2.
Alexander Phillips
No contest
Nicholas Hernandez
KEK. Sum 41 still exists?
Caleb Flores
This band is the apex of pretentiousness. Not a bit enjoyable.
Brody Cook
California is the only bad album they've ever made. Their s/t introduced me to post-punk and new wave and I don't see why it gets shit on here besides "WHERE ARRRR YEEEEW"
Henry Jenkins
You're right
Jacob Cox
There's probably about 3 or 4 songs that needed to be cut from California.
It's not awful but it's not great. The Only Thing That Matters is the closest thing to classic Blink on the album.
Jordan Torres
>California is bad

It's a perfectly fine 7/10 pop-punk record. Travis brings some great drumming yet again and Mark is on point as usual. Even Skiba was pretty good, underused I'd say.
You need to remember they aren't trying to outdo Self-Titled and they all know very well that that was their creative peak.
They're just going back to the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era and having fun with it.
Just let yourself go and have fun with it yourself. There's no need to be cynical.
Jose Walker
nobody sane thinks s/t is bad.
Parker Thompson
holy christ this board is shit now.
Eli Morales
Cynical is fantastic.
I'd like to hear another record without Feldman and hopefully with Skiba feeling more secure in the song writing process with them. Also, actual individual songs not just every song being dual vocals.
Isaac Evans
Sir, you are incorrect
Thomas Diaz
feel free to leave anytime
Adrian Davis
haha, yeah!
Ethan Rogers
California sounds forced and there's no contrast between Mark and Skiba. Plus, Mark was never the guy who wrote the more humorous songs; that was always Tom's job, so Mark's joke lyrics aren't as natural. I like Bored to Death well-enough, but the whole thing still sounds too much like +44.
I miss Jerry Finn :(
Justin Peterson
this was their first outing, so there's nowhere to go but up.
According to interviews with them there's a lot of chemistry when it comes to working in the studio with Skiba.
California was really a back-to-basics approach so if things work out the way they should, they'll get more and more ambitious and start to branch out.
I do agree they don't need Feldmann anymore.
If only fucking Jerry Finn was still alive and Tom wasn't insane.
Andrew White
dude for real its been sad to see tom's decline. he was my favorite and the funniest for a long time
Jaxon Miller
...
Carson Cruz
I used to love Tom back in the day, but I can't stand post AvA Tom. Him getting back together with Blink seemed so forced and awkward. They are much better with Skiba
Chase Martin
I'm excited at the prospect of actual full songs and song ideas by Skiba and an actual collaboration with Mark and Travis. It honestly seems like Feldman had more influence than Skiba.
Easton Perez
Andy Shauf - The Party
dope af folk rock album. sounds better than some of the more hype indie stuff this year imo. i'm sure it has more appeal than it's playcount suggests. hope y'all like :)

fav track: youtube.com
Evan Hill

Easton Edwards
agreed, for the morale of Mark and Travis, Skiba has been doing wonders.
I just happy they all seem to be having fun now and sticking it to Tom at the same time.
Tom's Heart was indeed all gone. He just obsessed with trying to make AvA become the next U2 or Radiohead or whatever he wants.
I really hope for his sake that aliens exist.
I agree, but seems like a lot of the blink fans have taken kindly to Skiba so the future is bright for him.
Brayden Gonzalez
I don't have any ill will towards Tom. He seems like he's just less content with having to dilute his vision with Mark's vision. I Don't mean that as a dig against Mark, more that Tom seems to want more creative freedom than Blink allows him to. I prefer his early Blink material to anything he's done solo but I can't fault the guy for following his heart.
I'm also very happy for Skiba, having been more of a Trio fan most of my life. Skiba's paid his dues. He deserves a fat paycheck. But, like I said before I hope the next album is more of a collab. There's plenty of Trio songs I could imagine would just as easily have been Blink songs.
Kayden Nguyen
...
James Myers
which Alkaline Trio album should a newcomer start with?
I liked Skiba's work on California.
Thomas Sullivan
>7/10
>Wooo's all over the fucking album
It's a 4/10 to me
Noah Cook
If you're a Blink fan start with Goddamnit, for sure.
After that if you're looking for more scrappy sounding pop punk go for the self titled compilation of stuff released before and after Goddamnit. If you're looking for sleeker production and tighter arrangements go for From Here To Infirmary.
Afterwards, report back to this thread for further instructions.
Joshua Torres
So you haven't heard Take Off Your Pants and Jacket?
Ryan Richardson
thanks lad
William Johnson
I'm relistening to Goddamnit right now. I want live reactions to songs in this thread, boy.
If you're not begging to fellate me by the end of track 4 it might not be for you.
Jayden Sanchez
so is there any differences of consequence between the reissue and the original?
Evan Fisher
Listening now.
It's fucking amazing.
Caleb Murphy
Reissue is also remixed. I'm not sure if I like the remix.
I was just listening to this youtube upload
Brody Kelly
Jesus christ you two are stupid as shit. Thats startling
Oliver Price

Jacob Martinez

Leo Powell
Angels & Airwaves > Blink 182

California is fucking over produced garbage, you might as well listen to All time low you fucking inbred child.
Ryder Peterson
First real answer
Evan Rogers
CONGRATULATIONS YOU GOT YOURSELF CAUGHT
Josiah Carter

Christian Turner
Has anyone here watched The Pursuit of Tone about Tom? Seeing that, I realised that Tom was the more talented member of the group.
Kevin Torres
get
the
fuck
out
Jacob Gutierrez
You could have noticed that if you'd bothered to listen to blink 182
Carter Walker
California was bad.
Dude Ranch will forever be the best Blink182 album
Aaron Gutierrez
It's probably the one I've listened to the most.
And now the you mentioned it
You're absolutely right.
Josiah Nguyen
This in my top 3 for hiphop along with Still Brazy
Nathan Reed
