Blink started out as one of the biggest punk bands on the west coast scene. As they became more popular they began to write more catchy mainstream based songs.(starting with Enema) Personally i love these songs and believe they’re some of the biggest hits of my generation. Blink’s last self titled album was a huge step away from punk music with “Go” being the only “punk song” on the album. I think the single is ok but it does not reflect where blink was as a band and who they were in the past as the band Blink 182. I understand that the guys have been doing their own thing but in the end all these effects and shit aren’t necessary or even cool. Blinks great for their catchy and simple songs that everyone loves. Tom needs to put aside his love for his other band and hopefully the rest of the album will be more punk based, at least for the real punk fans out there today that used to (and still do) listen to the punk blink. (Lemming, Apple Shampoo, Dammit, etc.) This songs a start but if blink is a “crappy punk rock band” I want some punk rock songs from the guys that know how to do it best and this single simply does not support that. I love blink I am a huge fan. But, I hate to see the punk scene die out when blink has a great chance to save it.

Blink 182 used to be punk rock and had a huge fanbase because of that. But the 18 year olds who made fart and dick jokes are now in their late 30s and have families, and just like they have matured and changed as people so has their music. It’s more dynamic and less in their basic punk rock. Everything evolves, including our past favorite band’s directions and sound. They’re different people than they were when Dude Ranch was made, and their music really reflects that, and it’s something as a fan we have to respect. To be honest I cannot say whether I enjoyed my first listen to the fun and punk blink or the newer and mature blink more.

Awe your comment says it all.True fan not like those haters. Everyone complains but come on after 10 years about 5 different band of course it is going to change, but at least they are together. Real Blink fans know what its about.

You think everyone who doesn’t like something you do is a “hater”. Like it’s some crime to not be head-over-heels for this. Well I call you a Nazi. Also, a fan doesn’t have to LOVE EVERYTHING a band puts out. I love weezer for example, but they haven’t put out a good record in quite some time. I’m still a fan though.
jaimito
July 16, 2011 5:04 pm
i agree! i have been a fan for all these years and i am so happy i want to cry that they are back together. i love the new single and i love that it sounds like their old stuff!

Blink What Happened
July 14, 2011 5:09 pm
I dont know but this song sounds much more like Angels and Airwaves than Blink. Bring back the old Blink 182!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You weasels need to get your blink 182 knowledge and vibe on!!! It sounds amazing cause it’s them and they wrote it together. It doesn’t matter who or what band it sounds like. It’s a mad chill song.
Jey
July 14, 2011 7:41 pm
Tom’s voice just needs to adjust to BLINK182 mode, that’s all.
I’m anxious to hear this song live though!

July 14, 2011 6:11 pm
haha, yeah. They’re not going to make a ton of money of this or anything.
alex
July 15, 2011 3:51 am
Yeah, you act like they’re doing this out of charity and not the millions they’ll make off a new album. That’s the only reason these guys are getting back together.
The audience has the right to an opinion. I also hate how if you don’t like something you’re dubbed a “hater” like people are just “hating” on something for no reason. Maybe they just don’t think it’s good?

Its funny how some people are raving that this song sounds like the old blink…it doesn’t, so stop fronting. Its funny how others are pissed off that it doesn’t sound like something off of TOYPAJ or Enema…what the hell did you expect? Its funny how passionate people are over ONE song, its not the greatest but by far not the worse. Its funny how people think that after everything that Mark and Tom have been through, that somehow they’d still make a three chord pop song talking about fucking their moms (And for the record TOYPAJ was the biggest sugar coated preteen pop punk sell out of an album).
Their music is not punk anymore and thank god its not cute or radio friendly either. Now hopefully all those make up wearing, long banged, emo skinny jeaned Hot Topic posers who claim to be fans will finally be weeded out with this new album. And yes, they reunited for the money…

July 14, 2011 5:19 pm
I guess it was true when the guys said it has influences of Box Car Racer, AVA & the last Blink record. Words cannot describe what an AWEsome moment it was to finally hear some new Blink in 2011. Thanks Blink & Kroq for making this happen today & not tomorrow…Loving the new direction they’re going towards!!!

Thomas C. Sossna
July 14, 2011 5:41 pm
I really LOVE Blink 182 … but this song sucks … Where’s your power gone guys? oO
Sounds like “Boxcar Racer meets AVA” in a boring way.
Don’t get me wrong, I pray to Blink 182 there is no better party on earth…but listening UP ALL NIGHT turns me very disappointed. :’(

for the most part this just sounds like Angels and Airwaves (featuring Mark & Travis of +44)… it okay, but i guess i, like many others, set the bar to high in my head after the last couple of years of hype.
lets go back to dude ranch
July 14, 2011 5:44 pm
wow this sucks so bad…this is not the blink182 i loved and i still love… you guys should have broken up after dude ranch…well enema of the state was still alright…
dan
July 14, 2011 5:44 pm
really think its a blend of +44,angels,and blink
its pretty good will take some time to really have the effect it blink songs normally do but nice job mark,tom,travis

im seeing all of these comments such as ” omg blink is back” people having an orgasm over nothing. this song isnt bad. But i would and idk about anyone else, would perfer the old blink, now dont get me wrong untitled was a good album but it was still alittle more dark than say enema of the state or dude ranch. But hearing this song has made me come to a conclusion that this upcomming album is going to be a huge disapointment unfortunately

it’s simply a band growing and maturing, evolving, it’s what happens when you go from writing music as a teen into your early 20′s to now as a band and Blink is doing a great job at it, also A&A didn’t have Mark or Travis therefor this new song doesn’t sound like A&A haha, but it is new and different.
rocker rivers
July 14, 2011 6:21 pm
i listen to it a few times already and the chorse is simply fu**king amazing the bridge with the guitar da nana NA da nana NA really f**king thrus me off….lyrics are amazing but its deffentlly a good song sounds like blink i sense them there n u can hear it during the second verse very blinkish but the best part 4 me is the chorse wow amazing sh*t

Jake
July 14, 2011 6:22 pm
Quit whining that this song isn’t All the Small Things or Feeling This or any other song you guys thought this would be like. it’s been 8 years since they’ve put anything new out. i love this song and i think it’s awesome. people change and so does the music they write. well worth the wait guys.
Corey
July 14, 2011 11:55 pm
thank you for a smart comment, yeah i was wasting my time reading them but jeez at least you have the right mind set and i couldnt agree with you more. its new, it kicks ass, theyve matured plain and simple awesomeness.

im sure theyre will be al little AVA al lil blink and a little transplants style in the whole of the album. but at least its a little bit of all of their stayle in one album f*ck it!!
Pathetic
July 14, 2011 6:43 pm
Horrible… it’s new music under an old name. This isn’t Blink-182 style… Iono about you… but Blink music used to mean havin’ a chill/fun time with a bunch of chicks. This just makes me want to turn emo.

tony santoni
July 14, 2011 6:55 pm
im unsure of the weird technoish background and the mosh part. imo heavy style parts and pop punk should never go together, but who am i to say what to play and what you guys are.
im not saying its bad in any way, its a good song. it just gives me a bit of a boxcar racer feel. i cant know if its the first track or how the rest of the cd will go. i do know that every first track of every blink 182 cd has always been energetic, fun, and is one of the many reasons blink 182 has been one of my favorite bands for the better part of almost 2 decades now.
im looking forward to hearing the rest. i know all musicians and men change and need growth in their music and themselves, but deep down inside we all want the fun, simple, happy-ish, dick and fart joking, pop punk, blink 182 to never change and always be there for us.
Jim
July 14, 2011 6:57 pm
This song is good. Its far better than any song today’s no talent rapper could make. However, this has too much AVA influence for my liking. I like Blink and AVA but only when seperate. It lacks that orgasmic sound and high energy that they had throught the 2000′s and especially 2003-2004. I look forward to the rest of the album because well….Blink 182 is the best
vanka

pretty rare song for blink, both mark and tom rocking it?! great way to come back and show they are together. anyone complaining it sounds too much like ava is an idiot – be happy there is finally good music back on the airwaves

happy to have new blink… unfortunately, the only thing keeping this from being an AVA song is Mark’s voice.

blink-182 had AvA influence even before AvA. listen to I’m lost without you, or Asthenia those two would fit in PERFECTLY into an AvA album. posers. blink-182 life. for life.

I think that this is what blink would have become if they had not gone on hiatus. If you listen to the untitled album, you will hear the evolution of the projects that Mark and Tom would later start. For instance, the long intros on Asthenia and Not Now and the former’s space theme. Blink said that they were picking up where they left off, and I’d say that they were right.
In addition, you can’t expect people to drop the music that they have been so enthusiastically involved in for seven years and change their style. People’s lives evolve, and that will, in turn, cause their creativity to evolve. If blink likes their music, then that’s good enough for me. So I say, forget this business of the “old” blink and the “new” blink. They were, are and always will be BLINK.

I have lived… to hear my favorite band world premiere the next hit single on my favorite radio station is all i can ask for…Its awesome i hear a bit of AVA (the prechorus/chorus) and Blink (all the rest) Its a perfect combination! I f**kin love this song!
Zack Gann
July 14, 2011 9:32 pm
Some of you are being very disrespectful! These men spend endless hours on days to give you a beautiful masterpiece and you complain! If you truly love this band you’ll love what ever they throw at you! I F**king Love It Blink!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Agree, for someone to call them selves a fan and not understand that naturally their sound will have evolved. As musicans all of them have grown so much and you can see this through their own projects (+44, AVA, Travis and all his stuff). I think this new song is an awesome colaboration of who they have become and to expect them to be what they were is nieve. Thanks Guys.

Ok… this has to be the most generic blink song I’ve ever heard. Sounds just like boxcar racer and NOTHING like “Pathetic” (JoeKreydt) – Noob.

I think this sounds far more like Box Car Racer than it does Angels & Airwaves – and Travis was in that band too, so it’s not “all Tom” as some people are claiming. Also, in my opinion, their self-titled album was – when you look back on it – a clear mix between Tom’s AVA desires and the ones Mark showed in +44. They’ve grown up – I think it’s not a surprising thing to believe this album would be similar to their last, rather than like Take of Your Pants and Jacket.
Also, whoever described this song as contained “death metal shit” is hilarious. A moderately heavy guitar riff is death metal? Really?

This song is great. It has all the elements of a great blink-182 song. However it is still really progressive, fresh and relavent. It sounds similar to the last blink 182 album and has given Travis a chance to really show if his skills on the drums. I love the electronics and the really cool guitar riff that breaks up the song id of like ‘violene’ and ”asthenia’.
AMASING I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM….and for people who say it sounds like ava you are tripping it just has a sonic sounding element to it but is is still exactly where blink 182 should be because they are keeping up with the times. Radiohead released Creep in 1992 and There there in 03 and now listen to radiohead’s new album it is super electonic. same with the killers….

Once the fans settle down from their excitement over having something new they’ll probably cool off on this song. It’s pretty garbage and really doesn’t stand out in any sort of fashion. I hope the rest of the album is better.

very sad.. I expected much more after 8 years.. This is a bad copy of a rejected AVA song..
Anthony
July 15, 2011 5:38 am
The chorus has a AVA sound to it but still totally a blink song just another sign of them maturing into a great band. Wish they would have picked a better band to tour with though . MCR sucks would have been cool to see them tour with the descendants or something
Zach
July 15, 2011 6:17 am
It does sound a little like AVA and Box Car Racer together. But it’s Blink and this is a Tom song, and Travis is killing it on the drums. Also bands try and change a little, so I’m liking the new direction Blink might be going. The more you listen to the song, the more you realize it’s blink

c’est une évolution et bien sur un bon mélange de leurs talent et expérience qu’il ont vécu durant ses années.
Vivement un concert en France.
i love blink182

July 15, 2011 7:06 am
umm you guys do you know its been 8 years since they released anything. they’ve all been doing their things. they’ve grown as musicians and writers. sorry but face it. this is blink now. they are not gonna go back immediatly and start writing things like whats my age again because simply put they are older now. they don’t wanna do that. after everything that they’ve gone through and that travis has gone through this is the fact. deal with it. now if you dont like it yeah go ahead and say it im just tired of everyone sayin its not blink blah blah blah.
Zach
July 15, 2011 12:28 pm
that’s what I was trying to get across on Modlife. They aren’t 20 anymore and they have each evolved individually and now it’s finally coming together, I think it will be an amazing album

blink fan since way back when all there albums were hit after hit. i was not interested in angels and airwaves and +44 was tolerable.
but this song is complete garbage! this is not the BLINK that everyone knows and loves.
they had all there real fans waiting patiently for there triumphant return only to leave us empty handed.i seriously hope the rest of the cd does not sound like this. only time will tell.

Amazingggg! Love this song as much as their old stuff. I was nervous but I am not let down at all. I’ve been their #1 fan for ten years so this is just awesome to me to finally hear them together playing again! All you ppl who aren’t true fans of blink stop w/ the negativity. You don’t know what this means to us real blink lovers who are just happy the guys are together playing & making amazingg music again. So please stop being a hater & go listen to AVA sice you’re so obsessed w/ them. Thanks! Love Blink & love this song. <3

So I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone hating on this song hasn’t quite grown up yet. This isn’t to say that this first single is mind blowing or the greatest thing that Blink’s ever created. But it does make sense.
I’m not a huge fan of the redundant melody line that Tom obviously recycled from “AvA-LIfeline” for the chorus and would’ve liked to see Travis set a faster drum beat, but because this is more of a post hardcore/punk song it all makes sense. And for everyone still complaining that its the worst pop punk song you’ve ever heard, its because Blink IS NOT POP PUNK anymore. They have moved beyond radio friendly panty dropping pop punk and I think you should too. Think of their music more as a hybrid of post hardcore/pop punk and I’m sure you’ll appreciate their new album alot more.

I think this song is awesome! It is the Blink-182 I have known and loved since the 90s. It has a little mix of everything that has been Blink through the years all in one song. I love how Mark and Tom take turns saying lines.
For those that are complaining that it doesn’t sound like the old Blink, you must realize that over the past 20 years these guys have grown up and matured. They are not the same as they were then and I am okay with that. I’m not the same as I was 20 years either. Music has changed a lot since the 90s and even in the past 10 years. If they never changed over the years, they most likely wouldn’t be around today…

I like that it sounds like AVA! Blink’s old sound is soooooo dated now. I hope there’s nothing on the new album that sounds like “What’s My Age Again”, that’s for sure!

I was so excited to hear that blink had released a new song, but this song let me down.. I miss early blink, the “punk” years. Lyrics like, “Maybe I’d impress her by being in a band, and maybe if I act all tough she’ll let me hold her hand,” won me over… I may be alone on this but I grew up with bands like Ten foot Pole, Face to face, Millencolin, Offspring, Bad Religion, Pennywise, No use for a name and Unwritten law.. A genre introduced to me by songs like “Josie” or “wasting time”… They’ll make a ton of money off of this as they should, it’s a good song.. But I challenge all Blink fans put on Chesire Cat or Dude Ranch and enjoy what Blink use to be.. I just listened to both and I couldn’t stop smiling!!..
Nate
July 19, 2011 1:06 pm
Eh, kind of a let down after all the hype. Not their worst, but definitely not something that I can see myself getting super into… It feels more like AVA than a Blink song. And I’ll be honest I think AVA sucks.

Digging the new Blink song – not digging the fact its named ‘Up All Night’. Common guys; Unwritten Law wouldn’t name their new song ‘Dammit’…

The ones who always complain about blink’s new sound: STFU or GTFO. Bands change. It’s inevitable. We’re lucky enough to have blink still make really great songs like this one. They had some really great songs from every album, but just get over the past, and appreciate the music they have now.
Dan
September 13, 2011 1:15 pm
Great song. Everyone needs to understand that all the members have done there own shit and this is a compilation of all there stuff that all of the band members have been through and its amazing. Your never going to get another Dude ranch or Cheshire cat. Bands grow in different ways some for the best some for the worst. This is definitely going to be a good change to see. Can’t wait…
