One More Time: A Reunion Album
One More Time is the ninth studio album by Blink-182, and the first one to feature the original trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker since 2011. The album was released on October 20, 2023, and has already spawned two number one singles: “Edging” and “One More Time”. The album showcases the band’s signature blend of catchy melodies, fast-paced riffs, and witty lyrics, while also exploring new sounds and themes.
The album is a result of the band’s reunion in 2022, after DeLonge left the group in 2015 and was replaced by Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. The band announced their reunion with a surprise performance at Coachella in 2022, followed by the release of “Edging” as the lead single. The song was a hit among fans and critics alike, as it addressed the band’s hiatus and reconciliation. The band also released a documentary titled One More Time: The Story of Blink-182, which chronicled their history, struggles, and comeback.
