I've seen a lot of hate online for it since it's release, and I have quite a few friends who are Blink fans and can't stand the CD. Personally, I thought it was unbelievable, but to each their own I guess.
I love the self-titled, but I understand why some people don't like it. It was a pretty drastic change and many didn't see it coming. Even after eight years, a lot of people just can't seem to get over that.
With that being said, my favorite Blink era/sound was always Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. I think that record is the perfect mix of the penis joke Blink we came to love, and the serious side they explored on the self-titled.
Couldnt have put it anymore perfectly. My favorite Blink CD has been Take off your pants and Jacket. But self-titled is at the closest second possible. I loved it when I first heard it, I loved that darker more serious edge that it had. It's like any band, they're not singing about sex or jerking off, so it's not good music to them. Bands grow up, and people continue to bitch.
Really anticipating the new album. Mark said it's going to be titled "Neighborhoods" and has a release date of 9/27 right now.
