A few months after teasing a collection of demos that were meant to be future blink-182 songs, Tom DeLonge has released an official stream of To The Stars… Demos, Odds, And Ends.
I’ve listened to the release a few times now, and I think I’m ready to say that I’m glad Tom is no longer a part of blink-182 if this is what he was bringing to the table. While the release isn’t entirely awful, it’s not something that I’d ever give a second listen to. Songs range from frustratingly mediocre (“New World,” “Suburban Kings”) to downright embarrassing (“Golden Showers in the Golden State” is without question the worst thing we’ve seen from the Angels & Airwaves frontman), and the short run-time leads me to think that this release was thrown together in an attempt to save any goodwill from his blink-centered fanbase.
You can stream To The Stars… below, but you don’t have to, and honestly, you’re probably better off not doing so.
