With guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge back in the fold, on 'One More Time...' Blink-182 returns with their best album in years
is a knockout return for the pop-punk institution — a homecoming parade of hooks masking veiling the band’s patented suburban angst. It’s loud and fast, silly and sad, and a sincere restoration of brotherhood following guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge’s 2022 reunion , the true Blink order feels restored here. The goofy-gone-grand chemistry between DeLonge, bassist/singer Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker is no less palpable than it was two decades ago.
“You Don’t Know What You’ve Got,” a mid-tempo burner with melodies similar to past tracks like “Bored to Death” and “Always” , touches more pointedly on Hoppus’s health woes: “One phone call wiped out a year … Long weeks of impending doom … Always so close to goodbye,” Hoppus laments. Somewhere between the extremes of existential despair and pre-teen humor, the album’s rollicking core is anchored by driving guitars and DeLonge’s revitalized vocals, which regularly soar with serration . “Terrified” stirs an addictive punk frenzy, born from a long-shelved outtake from DeLonge and Barker’s heavierside-project.
The album isn’t perfect. The pensive closer “Childhood” is too precious in its “where did the time go” wonderings. Lead single “Edging” is a mediocre punk number even Green Day might have left behind, and “When We Were Young” is undercooked and appears to battle its own time signature.
