This feels more like a blueprint for an album than an actual album. The musical concepts it brings are for the most part great but the songs are short and aren’t able to dive into these ideas as much. I love what’s shown and I just wish there was more, except for some of the more boring sections.
The writing is terrible. I started just laughing at it at a certain point because it was so awful. It occasionally finds itself having only boring and forgettable songs instead of actively hard to listen to. The Fate of Ophelia unironically saves this from being worse cuz it’s actually good. There are good moments but they are ruined by everything surrounding it.
Insanely inconsistent. It’ll go from an absolute bop to a mid tune incredibly quickly. More quality than not but it feels incredibly unpolished and unrefined.
A lot of classic songs from Blink are found on this album. It feels like a more polished and realized vision of what they were trying to do on Enema of the State. The best “blink-182 feeling” album from them.
