This is a band writing a song for both themselves and their long-time fans that have been around for 25 years, and you can't even focus long enough because it's slow. You don't have to like the song, but you know their history and why they're doing this, so criticizing it for being slow and looking back at their lives while making fun of Mark's cancer is a super weird take. I've never been around for any of your live streams, but I can see you like to hear yourself talk. If this is how you consume media, it explains a lot to be honest. I've been soured on your content for awhile, but I'm quickly understanding the general disdain online towards you and your attitude. Before you delete my comment, I hope that in the future you take the time to think a bit more before you speak. Not everything has to be a hot take.

Who's Zane Lowe... A legendary DJ! Alexander Zane Reed Lowe (born 7 August 1973) is a New Zealand radio DJ, live DJ, record producer, and television presenter. After an early career in music creation, production and DJing, he moved to the UK in 1997. He came to prominence through presenting on XFM (Alternative / Rock Music) and MTV Europe (MTV Two), developing a DJ career by opening sets for bands and eventually landing a slot on prime-time radio on BBC Radio 1 from 2003 to 2015, with the trademark 'Zane Lowe's World Record', airing the UK's best and hottest in music. In 2015, he was head-hunted by Apple to be the Creative Director of their new world-wide music station, Apple Music 1.

Both songs sound mature and damn it feels that way. We all grew up in last 30 years and you just can't turn it back. I agree that it would be great to have some up beat banger on the album, but having all of the songs down is also nice.

Both of these songs are everything I wanted. The instrumentals are great, they aren’t trying too hard, the songs don’t sound like they have been written by committee, and it sounds like it means something. Just a happy camper. It’s also nice to hear some music That has space to breathe in the mix and isn’t pumped full of vocals like we are all going to get bored instantly

I dont think Tom, Mark or Travis is the secret ingredient, I think theyre just the best recipe, when you put the 3 together amazing things happen.

IMO Blink-182 - California Deluxe edition 2nd CD is a masterpiece on it own, those songs are superb. Other than that, I prefer TOYPAJ + - era (99-2003)

I knew it wouldn't take long for you to get on this! And man this song just hits the nail on the head!

Saying thanks God for giving Mark Cancer because Blink is together again is pretty dark bro. I would choose for him to never have got it in the first place, and if that means the original line up doesn't get back together than so be it. I am excited for the new album like everyone else and the new songs are good but Tom's pain and suffering doesn't make it worth it even if he is better now, just for a new batch of songs and a tour. If anything I am worried about what this upcoming tour will do for his health. Blink are playing 5 shows in my city alone. For someone who just recovered from cancer that is a ridiculous schedule.

Travis already made his vocal debut at 2003 album. song - The fallen interlude

Saw them a few weeks back in Europe. They were.. On. Fire. Amazing show and best vocals I've heard them doing live!

More than you ever know is a certified banger. That's a thrash drum beat straight from Kreator's Pleasure to Kill with emo era blink laid over it. The question remains if they added any straight forward Enema of the state era bangers. But this song rips.

Dude. One More Time is the kind of tune that you just need to put on for the first time right after you start your car and just listen before you drive off. This was a love letter to the fans and a reconciliation that will last forever.

Blink wasn't Blink without Tom, Mark, and Travis all together. 'One More Time' is perfect. But I'll always think of Travis as Baron von Tito, the drummer for The Aquabats on The Fury album.

That 2000 Daytona spring break backdrop in one more time video was a cool shout out. I liked that

Both are very solid songs for sure.

I was looking forward to this video since Yesterday ❤️🤘

90’s/early 2000’s skater vibes… Nostalgia vibes 💯.. We needed this

more than you know could also be on a box car racer album, and it wouldn't feel weird..and i love it.

I am once again going to bat for skiba era blink. Regular blink is good, skiba blink is also good.

One More Time is absolutely fan service, and a lot of "self service" too, and that's why it's okay that it's so on the nose. The fact that a lot of people can probably relate to the gist of the lyrics is secondary, I don't think they put out this song with any aspirations of getting new fans. It's a nostalgic piece of music and video that already caused a collective tsunami of happy tears throughout the world. As for the crescendo, Travis singing IS the crescendo, you posers!

"One More Time" reminds me of Boxcar Racer and the Intro to "More than you ever know" reminds me of Angels and Airwaves, "Everything's Magic"

I feel the same as you said being with someone special that used to listen blink 182 together. Thats really hit me hard coz my late brother was always listen blink 182 back in a days when we we're kids till my late brother got married and we living in a separate ways. Early this year that my brother pass away bcoz of cancer and recently blink 182 reunite again then this song came out surprisingly bring me a very nostagic moments in my life.

Couldnt wait for you to cover this 😊

Was great sound, vocals and effects in Berlin that surprised me a lot! Feeling love between them and much love to preppie they make happy

One curious thing is that most songs don’t have a bridge. Some have an instrumental interlude but not an actual bridge with lyrics. The Rock Show is one of the few exceptions.

The only thing that drives me crazy is the Taco Bell ding at the end

I think the biggest thing that has made One More Time a big song is because its pretty much what all of us are starting to go through now were 30+ years old and realizing all the friends we lost because of stupid decisions on both sides.

More than you know is amazing I've been hitting that on repeat.

The “but I do like Angels and Airwaves” sent me 😂

I thought the music video concept was really cool. The lyrics felt so genuine too for this song. I just hope they only make nostaligia-based songs on the new album and that there's some high energy songs too.

@FinnMckentyPRMBA This is great dude. Love your honesty. Blink is my life and I agree with pretty much everything you said. Untitled is my favorite era of blink, but I also grew up on Enema and TOYPAJ. I expect we'll get a pop punk banger for sure. So excited for this album.

When I was younger Dude Ranch was my favourite album, I think because it was the first one I owned but growing up Enema of the State has really become the solid go to and listen from start to finish. Self Titled is still good by probably 3rd for me.

so this song came out 3 days before a trip back to my home city and was so serendipitous because a month before all of it my friend's dad passed away unexpectedly at 60 in great health. the dad was a church group leader for this group of wonderful degenerates I would spend a night every week with in high school but we hadn't seen each other as a group in like 10 years so we made plans to all hang out and my friend posted this in the group chat we were planning and man it hit home. literally took a death of one of the best people any of us knew to bring us back together and it was like damn why did we wait so long?

I do have to say when I saw them on the world tour this past summer it was best sounding they have ever been. Although I do agree with you though that in general they used to not be the best sounding live band. They totally blew me away this past summer though. I have seen them 8 times over the past 20 years.

More than you know has a dope Neighborhoods vibe and i love it

Blink was always a guilty pleasure when I was younger, when I felt a little too old for them, which is actually ridiculous when I consider I was 18 when Enema of the State released. But I'm happy for their fans that they are back together, and making music which sounds pretty good. It doesn't sound like the pop-punk I associate them with, but I'm sure they don't want to keep repeating themselves.

Great video as always! However, I would argue that “Edging” is that EOTS-esqe banger. Is it on the level of All The Small Things? No, but how can anything? Edging is unbelievably catchy, simple, and fun. It took a couple of listens for me to really appreciate it. Give it another listen; see if it changes your mind.

Dude boxcar racer was fire ..

One more time seems like a therapeutic song for them imo.

Patiently waiting for Finn to mention the full on double bass in the chorus of more than you know..

I think the songs are great. It’s a great evolution of the band. We need to remember these guys aren’t in their early 20s anymore. We aren’t gonna get an Enema of the State pt 2, and I’m not mad about it at all. This is the type of evolution I’d want. As someone who is a hardcore blink fan from 12 yrs old, I really like what I’m hearing so far and looking forward to the album. I wasn’t a fan of any of the stuff really after the self titled album (a side from a few songs on California, Nine was an awful album imo). I think this is shaping up to be one of their best albums yet (could be the best)

Bro just listen to the song and watch the video instead of cutting it off every 2 seconds. It’s a great song personal to them but also relatable to their older fans that grew up with them.

Zane Lowe was big in Europe in the mid 00's, he even had his own show in MTV2, so that's probably why a band which was big back then would go and get him

By the way, if you like them, that hour-long interview is phenomenal. Find it and enjoy it It's not an old interview, it was just done as the album was being released
