Twenty-three years ago, two of the three members of Blink-182 veered away from the band to create a record regarded as the greatest side project by any of the members. This, in particular, caused a stir within the group, as many times in history it is just one member leaving for a solo career instead of multiple. With them already competing for top spots against major competition such as the hit-making Green Day, anything that deterred them from their work didn’t seem like it was in their best interest at the time. With all the history they had, it was surprising they wouldn’t want to channel all their energy into what they had already built.
