Up All Night

July 15, 2011

Blink 182 have finally released the first single from their new album, Up All Night.  I don’t really know what I think of it yet, but on first listening I’m not that impressed.  It really seems like Tom’s the driving influence on this track at least as it’s pretty reminiscent of Boxcar Racer, Angels and Airwaves and even Blink’s I Miss You.  This isn’t really the sound that we know and love.  It makes me wonder what the die-hard fans are going to say… I know that one defence will be that they’ve grown up and the music’s matured but – in my opinion – it’s not any more mature, it’s just an overgrown emo kid who used to be fun.  I really hope that the rest of the album is a little more upbeat.
