"This time we weren't in the same studio the whole time. We'd start by going to the studio in Los Angeles and recording structures for songs. Then we would break apart. Tom would go to his studio in San Diego where he would work on guitar parts or vocal ideas. I would work on stuff in Los Angeles with Travis, recording drum and bass.


Then we'd all get together and compare ideas and change some stuff. The cool thing about recording this way is that everybody got the chance to explore all their ideas without the other guys in the studio waiting to record their bits," Hoppus offers on the recording process.


In addition, Blink 182 talk about meeting and satisfying fans demands.


"We had to make a continuous effort to set that [fans expectations] aside and just do what we have always done, which is keep our head down and make music that we love. I can't second guess people. We're going to put something out and some people are going to say, "I wish it sounded like Dude Ranch."
