Buy One More Time... from Amazon
apologise for the past; talk some shit, take it back "2023 - who the fuck are we?" is the second-to-last question asked in blink-182's One More Time, and it hangs in reverse like a reflected shadow across an album most assumed would never exist. It's a surprisingly canny question from Tom DeLonge, he of the airplane-arms, aliens, Angels and Airwaves, one of music's most notorious flakes. But it fits with the new man we see in the extensive Zane Lowe interview on Apple Music - candid and down-to-earth, graciously giving shoutouts to Matt Skiba and smiling through recounts of both of his ugly departures from blink-182, DeLonge claims to have been through a borderline ego death upon learning the news that Mark Hoppus was sick with lymphoma.

Blink-182 have returned with their first album in four years . For a band whose legacy was concrete by the 1999 release of their fourth album (the iconic, ‘All The Small Things’ and ‘What's My Age Again’-featuring Enema of the State), they've dished out reliably few records per decade since then. The records are usually accompanied by the main event; a mega global tour so that fans can leap at the chance to relive a big chunk of teen angst nostalgia.
