Rubbish. Whilst Blink with Matt sound really decent on the new songs, hearing him sing the older material that Tom used to sing so expertly badly (such as Down and I Miss You) has left me and a lot of other hardcore Blink fans feeling flat. 

I like it. But it isn't the same. 

I should have been seeing them this Sunday in America but that went down the shitter  

Sorry,. I'm not talking about there hardcore fans (or even their fans in general) I'm talking about people that dislike blink such as myself. 

Matt skiba joining has definitely made me take notice and skiba singing the old songs is waaaaaaaaaay better. Toms voice is nails on a chalkboard for a LOT of people.

Hardcord Blink-182 fan here. Hand on heart can say that when i saw the acoustic show last week Matt sounded 1000x better than Tom. Matt's voice is whiney enough to pull off the songs but not too much so that it can be painful to listen to live at times (like Tom could be). Matt is a great replacement.

They played 3rd at Reading last year, that's a pretty big slot.

Heard Sepultura are recording a new album, think they'd be a good booking. Would be good to see them.

In a recent interview,Andy Copping made reference to it being the 30 year anniversary of Del Leppards Hysteria.We'll probably see them on the bill somewhere next year.Headline 2nd stage?

So Blink-182's new album is 'out there'. 

After a couple of listens I think it is a decent record. There's some really great tracks on there. Although I think that it'll be popular with lots of long time fans as it is more 'Blink' than Neighbourhoods was, I don't think it is going to set the world on fire. 

My main criticism of it though is that the vocals are very over produced. I'm also trying to adjust to them without Tom's voice being there but I'm getting there, slowly but surely  

Overall though I think that it is the kind of solid album you would expect of a band like Blink at this stage of their career and I'm expecting them to headline Download next year.

Some girl on the Download facebook group is suggesting Alice Cooper is big enough to headline, christ people have zero perspective

[oneoftherest]

"I like him and hes had 26 albums so ofcourse hes a headliner"

Cause ya know the amount of albums you have directly correlates to your draw

I've heard otherwise. I've heard that it's the worse one and it's basically blink going through a mid life crisis. Mind I need to listen to it first and I can't be bothered to download it now so I'll just listen on Friday.

1. Why on earth do people still reply to Black Crow? He is a forum troll. They post lies on forums and feed off people responding to them. Baffles me how people still don't get this and still reply to him shouting that he's wrong (he knows he's wrong!).

2. Jesus christ Gazza is going to be just as fucking unbearable about this loyalty scheme as his 'cheaper R&L day tickets means weak subs' and 'Foals aren't an R&L headliner despite the fact they're headlining R&L this year' episodes, isn't he?

gazza kidding on he's thinking about going to festivals before going on to make every excuse under the sun for not doing so is always entertaining viewing.

Oh, and I love the new Blink album.
