gotta say box car racer is absolutely successful as a side project, it contains every element that a blink fan could expect but with more depth and darkness. Personally, I feel bcr very different from the later ava.

That's because Tom wanted to explore heavier stuff that didn't fit into blink

As a true Blink182 root fan, I think Box Car Racer is the closest to sounding like Blink 182 than any other band co founded by the members of Blink 182. Which is great ! It's even better than what Blink 182 sounds like today. Too bad it didn't last long.

I can't imagine Tom writing music this good now he just couldn't do it. Every one has a golden age of song writing and this was during the height of his. This spawned Blink's self-titled which is their best in my opinion.

SDADSDSFDSGDA I think he’s just changed his style sooo much. Started off skate punk which was very weird and unique to a more pop punk and then to boxcar and then To pre Ava then to AVA which changed so much and now he’s done a lot ya probably hard to make new material. Making music is like growth spurts. You get a lot as it goes on then after a while you stop growing. But also toms made some cool AVA songs. But his early stuff is brilliant especially boxcar racer.

Mark didn’t believe the music Tom was doing which wasn’t his style. Tom was special in Blink 182. He wasn’t afraid of trying new shit. But I think Tom trying so many styles in music nowadays gave him a dryspell but he’s still one of the greatest musicians of Alternative Rock!

I definitely think “up all night” would’ve ended up being a boxcar song if they had stayed together still. He held onto that thing for a long time

Crazy this band only ever did one album, one tour, and did limited merch.

It really was an amazing album! I been a fan of Blink 182 since the self titled album I was no older than 12 years old. Found out about Boxcar Racer when I was about 20 years old. I ain’t knew Tom did a side album without Blink but this let me know Tom Delonge can shine with or without them.

Этот альбом с первых аккордов занял родное место в моей коллекции. Переслушиваю раз в несколько лет на максимальной громкости . Это сделано на века .

Honestly wish Tom had kept up with BCR instead of AVA. This was by far the best side project he has ever made. The music was so dark, heavy, catchy, and the lyrics have so much depth and it even inspired me to start my own side project aside from the band I am currently in.

@alexzemaitis1207

Hey I know I’m 2 years late but I feel like BCR and blink 182 were both things that inspired me to make music and work on trying to start a band because I like very nice catchy pop punk songs and make jokes about running on the streets naked but also do songs that are a little more dark and have more depth which is like the post hardcore side of Tom’s song writing and shows that there’s more to what Tom can do other than act like a 12 year old with blink

@@natalie_rose2861 Mark was upset that Tom and Travis decided to do an album without him with two other good guitarists 💯

I’ve been a huge fan of blink since I was 6. Started with Buddha. Then when I was 13 I traveled to Thailand. Was sitting on the ground in a hotel room in Phuket Thailand and “I feel so” came onto the “MTV Asia” channel. And I fuckin lost my mind. I searched all over Thailand for weeks to find it. And I finally did on a little island of the coast of the mainland. I was SOOO fuckin happy and had it for years. I lost it years ago now. But I’ll never forget where I was the first time I heard this CD. And this album means so much to me. Such a great fuckin album!,,,

I Feel So is maybe my favorite song Tom has ever made. So much power and emotion, plus it all seems so natural. Secret crowds is the only other song that captures that magic, for me at least, outside of his songs in Blink. I like AVA, don't get me wrong, but there is just something about I feel So..

Works can’t ever express how much this band and these songs mean to me. I’ve never had a band mean so much emotionally until I heard these guys. It started because I stumbled across my first punk song and decided to randomly listen to other songs from them one day. Best decision of my life.

i miss this Band

When I heard Box Car Racer's album for the first time (a little over two years ago at this point), I definitely saw the influence it had over Blink-182's Untitled album.

man it's crazy, bcr might be brought back to life again. It's probably the only thing that can let me forget about blink.

Really cool to know it was friends of Travis’ that did the graffiti for the wall in the “I Feel So” video. Never would’ve guessed - #resourceful

He starts that live version of “There Is” at 4:35 and I definitely thought he was playing cardboard for a moment. The difference in snare tone is crazy from this version to the studio

BCR and AVA ( Angles and Airwaves) are my favorites...

I bought this album the day it came out. I feel so, is my favorite song.

Box car racer still the best thing tom will ever make tbh

As much as I like the album, it's so disappointing that this side project single handedly strained the relationship between Tom and Mark and blink's ultimate break up in 2005. Dogs Eating Dogs and Neighborhoods had some good tracks, but it felt out of sync. The albums they've done with Matt are repetitive and boring.

Damn I never realized how big David Kennedy was back then

Tom worked hard to find band mates who would make him look short.

in most concerts, the audio engineer and crowd would say the drums are too loud. but most concerts dont have the greatest drummer ever playing.

I found God through this album.
