blink-182’s back after an eight-year break between albums with Neighborhoods, returning with a more mature sound this time around. Neighborhoods, available today, shows real growth from guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker, who’ve all been keeping busy with side projects after announcing the group’s ‘indefinite hiatus’ status back in 2005.
Neighborhoods is a solid effort that demonstrates the guys have gotten teenage boy-ish lyrics out of their systems and are ready to evolve and change things up while still pleasing their fan base.
Neighborhoods is currently streaming at neighborhoods.blink182.com.
