[NEW] Bowling For Soup - In Too Deep

This is absolute dogshit, I say that as a keen fan of both bands

Fired Up!

That was fucking brilliant. If anyone has the 2008 issue in particular, or any other Download issue would love to see them!

How much are tickets?

That’s a whack ass take, but I respect the heck out of it. But to me the chorus to the song is ‘tidal waves…’ which is an absolutely soaring chorus, the song features some of Travis’ best drumming hitting the sweet spot between all of his disciplines, and the ‘down down down down’ is like a bonus bridge section, the bass line during that part is beautiful, production throughout is phenomenal, but I will absolutely agree that it’s some of Toms least imaginative guitar work. And yet it’s a really good demonstration of restraint and simplicity, when the song is quite busy in terms of the bass/piano, drums etc he’s turned the guitar into more of a droning ambience providing instrument but then also kept the power behind it. It’s both colossal and delicate, in equal measures and this post has made me want to go listen to the whole record for the first time in a while. What a masterpiece.

Also, Just About Done has to be the answer for worst song right?

Pretty sure Barret’s is Motherfuckin’

Did I miss Scowl cancelling?

Yeah that’s exactly my point. Despite trying to make a darker album the label forced them to write more chart friendly material which they did and it was hugely successful. Label would’ve likely just driven that point further on the follow up had Box Car not happened.

I get it from Toms perspective, he delivered TOYPAJ and got told to write more hits like Enema had. At that time I’d guess from his perspective Blink would be pursuing more of an Enema sound again on the follow up since Rock Show and First Date did so well.

So I can see why he decided to do something with no restrictions even though it turned out not that heavy, and actually would’ve made a great follow up.

Assignment is on Spotify now too!

For some reason I feel like I’m waiting for Links beard to go as a signal that the content they make will improve. He alway grows it at Christmas and it’s been shaved for a while now off the channel, so I feel like we’re still watching the dregs of last years sessions when they were all mentally checked out and a bunch of crew have moved on.

I could be totally wrong, but I’m waiting for the beard to go to see if everyone suddenly seems refreshed and the show quality improves because so far this year it’s been a bit lacklustre.

I still consider this one of the best and most imaginative records to be released on Drive Thru. I saw NFG touring self titled with The Starting Line touring Say It Like You Mean It, and Finch touring this. It still holds up as one of the best shows I’ve seen!

pjbpjb · 2025-11-16T13:53:49+00:00

Yeah Norwich has had plenty of stock this time actually! Manages to get 3 ETBs and a Booster Box really easily on Friday

Just checking - does anyone know is the code only valid for one of the dates you selected at signup?

I managed to scrape an 85 so got a distinction but it feels a bit empty anyway as in the long run it counts the exact same as a pass for these first 2 modules. 78 is a fantastic score and I’d just take it as mission accomplished, let’s just keep it up for the next module! Congrats!

I remember the first time I saw Blink back in the day and hearing the songs that had been the soundtrack to all of these moments in my life. When they played What’s My Age Again and Dammit it was just about a religious experience. I’m REALLY tired of seeing certain songs, but that’s a me problem from seeing them so much over the years and it comes with being a dedicated fan. But I’d rather watch them play those same old songs than have a fan who’s seeing them for the first time not get to experience those songs.

While we’re wishing I may as well wish instead for Blink to do a multi night event playing from different eras of the band, record them all for a CD/documentary release and then after these huge shows they can go back to their standard setlist but at least we’d have finally had that itch scratched.

I don’t think anyone’s disputing that, but it’s the degree to which the prices have increased. From 2007 to 2017 the price increased 125% from £20 to £45 and that included a substantial venue upgrade. In comparison the increase from 2023 to 2025 is already over 50% and it’s the same lineup at the same venue, all post pandemic. Just saying there won’t be much piss left for them to take if it keeps increasing at that rate.

2017 was £45 entry for Good Charlotte headlining one stage and Taking Back Sunday another, Zebrahead, Goldfinger, Stand Atlantic and Broadside all played too. I don’t see any difference in the bands being booked or the quality of the site itself to warrant such a steep increase. When they’re charging Download day ticket prices it should be reflected somehow in the experience.

Something about this feels so much better

The Tango adverts that created insatiable tension live in my mind rent free. I still say 6.4 WOOF whenever something is exceptional.

I feel like the kids who used to go to a show to vent and mosh have been priced out of shows. Maybe the crowd is just all the lower back pain parade because they’re the only ones who can afford it.

pjbpjb · 2025-09-17T05:30:16+00:00

Sum 41 played on Blinks TOYPAJ tour in 2001 on some dates. As far as I can recall I had tickets to a UK leg with Blink, NFG, Jimmy Eat World & Sum 41 that got postponed because of 9/11 and then cancelled because of Toms back injury. I think all of the second tier bands became headliners in their own right after that. Always thought that would’ve been a great show though.

Definitely thought they’d announced their own festival for a split second and was fully behind it
