So has anyone picked up their latest cd yet?
It's amazingly good, very different from previous blink stuff ..
Lots of emotion in this one ..
There's a lady that reads letters written by Marks Grandparents that they had written to each other during the war at the end of the song called Violence that leads into the song called Stockholm Syndrome.. Mark writes about his Dad in the song Go ..

And the booklet is awesome .. each song there's a little note by each of them about what the song is about, how they wrote it etc ... and 2 ultrasound pictures of Travis's baby boy and Tom's baby girl ..

Robert Smith from the Cure did some of the vocals in the song All of This .. he did them in England then sent the vocals back to Blink .. very cool ..

I'm very impressed
I like this side of Blink ..

My favorite song is Down ..
Feeling This is cool .. "This was the first song that we wrote for the record. Tom and I went into different rooms, and he wrote the verses and I wrote the choruses, wthout discussing the subject ahead of time. It turns out we both wrote about sex. Two different sides, the passionate, lustful site (verses) and the romantic side (choruses).

Go buy it

that was my first song on my christmas list.
In fact I already went out shopping with my Dad and made him buy it.
Stupid Christmas...making me wait for CD's.

i'm gonna pick it up tomorrow i think. unless i want to wait till Christmas.

Trust me, you don't want to wait until Christmas. You want it now

it's settled then.

I heard that it wasn't very good at all.

Don't believe everything you hear

I don't believe you. :*)**

Good .. you shouldn't.
Make your own decision on the album ..

I haven't listened to the album enough to give a review or all, but from what I've heard its a really good cd. They have a much more mature sound for the most part. Plus a couple songs have a Cure influence to them which is always good. Give it a try I say

I downloaded the cd off supanova...............I like it.

THAT explains it!!! I couldn't understand why the verses were so incredibly horrible, and the chorus was really good. That song confuses me, cos I hate it, but like it, too. Tom needs to stop... everything. Whoever decided he should be a lead singer needs hearing aids. *runs*

(Oh yeah, and I like Blink... really I do... I just can't handle Tom's voice... and apparently, some of his songwriting. )

Quick useless Blink fact! Did you guys know that Tom's REALLY freaking tall? My boyfriend (literally) ran into him at a Silverchair concert recently... and had to look up to see him... and Monkey's 6' tall.

ahh i liked the lyrics tom wrote ..
no tom bashing
tom is the greatest .. well after travis of course

I think I will go buy this cd because of what you said...

woohoo!

now if you think it sucks, please don't hurt me

i've had the whole cd on my computer for a couple of weeks now and i'm completely in love with it. this is definitely the best work Blink has done so far. I also bought the CD on Tuesday and the cd cover is awesome.
My favourite songs are All of This and I Miss You

ahahha thats how i felt about it..at the beginning i thought it was horrible..but as it gets going you start to like it...so confusing

I love the new Blink cd. I only have a burned copy, becuase I found the entire cd online a couple weeks ago. But, I will buy it soon enough, I think it's awesome

Show me the way to bed
Show me the way you move
Fucking is such a blur
I love all the things you do

Tom is a lyrical genius Nikki

Though I seriously do like this verse:

Look to the past
And remember her smile
And maybe tonight
I can breathe for awhile
I'm not in the seat
I think I'm fallin' asleep
But then all that it means is
I'll always be dreaming of you
