Blink-182: 'Not all fans will like our new album Neighborhoods'

Blink-182 have admitted that they are aware that not all of their fans will be happy with their new material.

The band have insisted that they are unfazed by the high level of expectation that has been put upon their comeback record Neighborhoods and have come to terms that it will not be to everyone's taste.

Bassist Mark Hoppus told the Alternative Press: "I'm very proud of the record as a whole. Expectations are giant for this album and that's a huge honour.

"People are excited about our band even after eight years of not having a new CD. That said, there are going to be some people who are like, 'This record sucks'."

He added: "There are some people out there that just want 'What's My Age Again?' Blink-182 in Dickies shorts and Hurley T-shirts, running around just being silly and screaming and whatever. We have always tried to keep our heads down and do our own thing.

"You know what? We can't please everybody and the only people you can please as artists are yourselves, because you can't guess what other people are going to like."

Blink-182 will release their sixth studio album Neighborhoods in the UK on September 26 and the US on September 27.
