Neighborhoods

This album is amazing! Don't start listening to this though expecting the rebellious youth anthems that Dude Ranch or Enema of The State gave us. Neighbourhoods is a lot more like Blink-182s self titled album dealing with slightly darker and more mature topics. Now I'm going to say I am a little Bias towards Blink because I am a long time fan and think everything they touch turns to gold. But when this album came out I was very hesitant to give it a chance due to the hiatus the band had been on and the reported bad terms the band ended on. But I couldn't have been more wrong. They have delivered another instant classic with Neighbourhoods. The content may have grown up but they still give you the catchy pop-punk tunes that have given them the legacy they have made today. I give the album 4 stars only because there is a couple to tracks that are still worth listening to multiple times but on repeated listenings you might skip them to get to the albums other gems. What gives it the 5 star rating i have given it is the Vinyl its self. The vinyl is amazing and easily one of the best in my collection the gate fold folds out showing all three band members faces a very beautiful glossy album giving you that tangible feeling that reminds you why vinyl still wins. The 180gm record is very cleanly pressed and sounds amazing but to seal the deal with this album and to put it up into my top vinyls is the white pressing of the vinyl which suites the theme of the albums artwork and looks amazing. Any fan of Blink-182s self titled album is gonna find a new love in this album.

Another great vinyl from the legends themselves!

This really is one of their best albums in my honest opinion, they really have changed, and i personally think its for the better. You can't compare this album to any of their previous albums, its very different, much more mature, but very good. They have mixed in a few punk-style songs and a few with an AvA style to them, but i really think Mark, Tom, and Travis really are 5 times better when they're together, everything falls right into place. I really recommend this album. If you have listened to blink in the past and thought they were too "childish" you really need to try them again, buy this album!! full 5/5

By far one of the best Blink 182 albums. It was a very mature rock album and I love it. people hate on album because of the lack of the punk sound the gave blink their fame, which is understandable. I was skeptical of the album at first but, when I gave it a long listen it grew on me. it deals with more serious topics like death (ghost on the dance floor). which I understand can be hard for people to swallow. I love it and thats all that matters

Re-emerging after nearly a decade-long absence, Blink-182's highly-anticipated 2011 reunion album, "Neighborhoods," unsurprisingly finds the band embracing their age and continuing on the path that 2003's self-titled affair blazed. With hooks still intact, the power-punk-pop trio has all but abandoned the sillier subject matter of days gone by in exchange for more mature themes and, as a consequence, more refined compositions. Having more in common with the likes of '80s-era The Cure than '90s-era Green Day, "Neighborhoods" is almost guaranteed to be the band's most polarizing, and in turn, most interesting affair to date. The album opens with the superb "Ghost on the Dance Floor," appropriately steeped in atmospheric flourishes and melancholic lyrics by guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge that set the stage for the rest of the album. Whether it's through the post-hardcore of "Hearts All Gone" or the instant hit "Natives," which serves to give the band's signature sound a much needed overhaul, the band are in top form and don't sound as if they've missed a beat since 2003. Bassist/co-vocalist Mark Hoppus bounces off DeLonge even better than before, while drummer Travis Barker -- a stand-out talent in his own right -- serves the songs perfectly, giving them the ample space they need to breathe. There's enough spread amongst the brief ten song set (fourteen if you take the "Deluxe Edition" into consideration) to keep things interesting, yet it can't help but feel like the band could have taken things a step farther. If there's one flaw to the album, it's that it sounds incomplete in comparison to its 2003 counterpart. That aside, the album still offers enough surprises and enough catchy tunes to engage long-time fans as well as those with only a surface interest in the band's earlier material. Acknowledging that the glory days of the Warped Tour and TRL are long gone, Blink-182 have forged a unique sound all their own that pays tribute to their past and hints at the future. These aren't the same snot-nosed brats who created the likes of "Dude Ranch" or "Enema of the State," and that's a breath of fresh air. With its members all pushing 40, growing up and expanding on their sound is all but inevitable in order to survive. If you fell in love with Blink-182 at the rock show or can't remember your age, you might feel some growing pains. Rest assured though that Blink-182 are aging well with a future that looks brighter than ever. To echo a lyric that has become a cliché, I guess this is growing up.

The wait was well worth it, since 8 years ago to I hear new material from this excellent band one of my favorites. i was sixteen years when i was listening the latest album, twenty-four years now I have and i can see how much they have changed, their songs, but creativity is still apparent in each of the members of the band, Mark, Tom and Travis ... Excellent musicians. Thank you very much for this great album, I've been hearing about 7 times since i got it and I am not tired to listening.... I leave my favorite songs: After Midnight Snake Charmer Heart's All Gone (interlude) Heart's All Gone Wishing Well Kaleidoscope Love is Dangerous Greetings from Ecuador

I ordered ever Blink-182 album there's is, even for thier vinyl too. 5* services I highly recommend these guys 👍

So lange Jahre hab ich genau auf dieses Album gewartet. Blink 182 is back und zwar genau so cool und erfrischend lässig wie vorher. Die Jungs sind zwar älter und wohl auch reifer geworden, aber ihre Musik bleibt typisch Blink 182 und genau das ist es, was so super ist! In manchen Songs kann man hören, dass sie sich auch entwickelt haben und erwachsener geworden sind, aber sie bleiben sich dennoch treu. Als Intro des Albums ist 'Ghost On The Dance Floor' sehr gut gewählt. Der Song scheint etwas zurückhaltend, was ihn jedoch ausmacht. Die CD fängt mit einem schnellen Beat, cooler Musik, Lässigkeit und gutem Text an und geht auch so weiter. Sehr gelungen ist auch 'Up All Night', die erste Single des Albums, frech, aber mit durchdachtem Text und Suchtgefahr. 'After Midnight' & 'Even If She Falls' lassen Emotionen frei, die einfach direkt ins Herz gehen. Aber natürlich noch mit echtem Punk Rock! =) Der fünfte Song 'Snake Charmer' ist meiner Meinung nach sehr empfehlenswert, denn er hat einfach etwas lässiges, eingängiges und Eigenes an sich, was man kaum beschreiben kann, man muss es einfach hören. Eins ist auf jeden Fall zu sagen: Hier liefern Blink 182 eines ihrer besten Stücke!! 'Hearts All Gone' geht ebenfalls direkt ins Ohr und lässt einen auf Wiederholung drücken, und das bestimmt nicht nur ein Mal. Schneller, frecher Punk. Bei 'Fighting The Gravity' haben sie etwas experimentiert, doch nach einmal hören gewöhnt man sich sehr daran. Der Song zeigt, dass sie nun ihre Song auch etwas mehr durchdenken. Zuletzt will ich noch 'This Is Home' erwähnen, da es scheint, als würden die Jungs hier ihr Leben auf der Bühne und ihre Musik thematisieren, was man auch in der Musik hört. Hier erkennt man die Entwicklung, die sie gemacht haben. Alter Stil aber irgendwie erwachsener. Toll! Die anderen Stücke sind auch sehr cool und hörenswert. Keines fällt aus der Reihe oder enttäuscht. Jedes lässt das Herz etwas höher schlagen. Einfach eine super Playlist! Blink 182 Fans werden auf keinen Fall enttäuscht, eher werden sie die CD anhören und dabei ausflippen, denn sie lässt sich rauf und runter spielen und man erinnert sich wieder warum man diese Band doch so liebt! =) Einmal gehört, und ich bin jetzt schon süchtig! Was will man mehr?!

Muitos não gostam,mas é um belo álbum, vinil duplo com capa tripla, chegou intacto.

El album en sí tiene sus flaquezas, pero en esta edición brilla de forma muy diferente derivada del tratamiento de Kevin Gray en el masterizado, sobre todo la batería, las voces y el bajo suenan increible, en cuanto a los matices de la guitarra suena bastante separado cada sonido pero siento que no es tan cristalino como pudo haber sido, aún así creo que es un trabajo excepcional de masterizado que vale mucho la pena escuchar y posiblemente considerar como la mejor edición de este album tan controversial y último hasta el momento (sin contar el EP de Dogs eating dogs, que en mi opinión es posiblemente el mejor album de blink hasta la fecha) con el guitarrista/vocalista original. Ojala encuentren la forma de también remasterizar ese EP apoyandose de Kevin Gray y que así tengamos una versión semidefinitiva de ese material. Este album viene en presentación tríptico pero no trae más que una foto de la banda en grande e información de producción, no trae ningún inserto tampoco. Un disco en blanco y uno en negro con fundas internas como acostumbra src de plástico muy buenas, de las mejores que he visto que traiga cualquier album de vinilo.

オープニングからラストまで捨て曲無しの 最高傑作盤。 通常盤を持っていましたがデラックス盤はボーナストラックでさえ必聴の涙モノでした。 発売から10年経ったので更にリマスターデラックス盤を期待します。 アナログの180g重量盤も併せて出して欲しい。
