Hairy Potter Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think I just prefer Mark's voice to Tom's as I've aged. Used to be the other way around. I also think a lot of Tom's lyrics are slightly more childish. I gave this a listen yesterday (for the first time since it came out) to decide if I should try to grab a copy. I also listened to Box Car Racer for comparison. I feel exactly the same. If the +44 record was just released, I would be blown away. The actual year it came out it wasn't as good to me. I guess growing up a little made BCR seem childish and +44 ahead of it's time. That being said, I think we all can agree that Mark and Tom write better together than apart... in the late 90s/early 2000s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I dont know, but BCR is super blunt, boring, shitty recorded and poor produced. IMO it has 2-3 good songs while +44 have 7-8 great tracks The bluntness is what pulls me in. Don't get me wrong I still like +44, I just find myself playing BCR more often than +44, but I agree with you that WYHSB has a bunch of great tunes.

Ogrejoyed Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I know this has probably been answered, but any idea on when the BCR repress will drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I know this has probably been answered, but any idea on when the BCR repress will drop?I think early next year. Not 100%, but like 95% positive that's what Travis said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant justify that delonge tried to "sound dry and cheap" like punk rock bands from 80. The only difference that they've tried to sound as good as possible, but couldnot, and delonge did that on purpose. This is exact reason why I HATE last linkin park album.

MikePortly Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Any chance we can get one of those big lists of which stores are getting +44 Travis, or is it still too early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already at a bunch of stores, so it's definitely not too early for that...I grabbed one Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Where are you located? Portland, OR. Most west coast stores have probably gotten this, and the orders at least have to be in for the east coast stores if they haven't already been sent out.

fatmilo Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wait, was the guy's wife actually a whore or did she just steal his Alkaline Trio records? Or did she have sex for money AND steal his records? Either way, +44 is a band alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I asked Travis Barker tonight (at his LA book signing event) about Dogs Eating Dogs being pressed on vinyl. He said it'd be really cool but he didn't know anything about it. No progress.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it's up to Travis, Mark, and Tom on whether or not to press it on vinyl since they self-produced the EP if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah I'd think so. Oh well it was worth a shot, his book is really fascinating, if anyone has a chance to go to the signings in San Diego or San Francisco check it out.

greenfaerie Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I swear the call center is outsourced. I have to slowly spell everything anytime I call..... I had issues when placing my MTTS and had to call it in "you want Blink one, eight, two?" Like does the person live in a box? One-eightytwo fack.. and they sounded like a younger guy too.
