Blink-182 double down and do it again on One More Time... Part-2, and they’re not just back for more, they’re back and better than ever.
In true pop-punk fashion, Blink-182 are proving they've got unstoppable motivation. The trio of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker are back with One More Time... Part-2, a continuation of their chart-topping 2023 album One More Time.... The album adds 10 new songs to the original 17, adding up to a 27-track powerhouse that captures all the tragedy, triumph, and the unbreakable brotherhood that defines Blink-182.
Recorded between 2022 and 2024, during their globe-spanning reunion tour that packed arenas and stadiums, One More Time... Part-2 is a “thank you” to the fans who’ve stood by them through decades of ups and downs. It also doubles as a celebration of the album’s title track, “One More Time,” which tied the record for the longest alternative airplay No. 1 run, spending a jaw-dropping 20 weeks atop the chart.
For core fans, the album is the real deal. The deluxe edition comes in multiple physical configurations that cater to collectors and vinyl lovers. The Complete Deluxe Edition features all 27 tracks on limited-edition “Blue Balls” color vinyl, while the Deluxe Tracks Only variant offers the 10 new songs, including 8 brand-new and 2 digital-only bonus tracks, on “Red Rocket” vinyl. Both editions are packaged in gatefold jackets with printed inserts.
Beyond its musical merits, One More Time... was a major milestone for Blink-182. It was their first album as a reunited trio since 2011 and scored the band their third No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200. The album dominated 2023, amassing over 1 billion streams to become one of the biggest rock albums of the year.
With Part 2, Blink-182 is closing this new chapter in style, reaffirming their status as pop-punk heroes who’ve not only survived but thrived. It’s loud, it’s heartfelt, and it’s quintessential Blink-182, a testament to their bond as bandmates and brothers. For a band that’s already conquered tragedy, their latest effort is pure triumph.
