Blink 182 have admitted that they finally found "the tension" they needed to finish working on their brand new album, 'Neighborhoods'. 

The pop-punk trio spent a lot of time recording and tweaking the long-awaited record - even postponing their UK arena tour by a year because it wasn't completed in time - and explained to the NME that they worked on parts of the album separately as it helped them developed independent ideas for the sound:

"That’s the tension we need in Blink. I think it is the way forward for us. It’s the way we can all work together and explore all of our ideas. In the past, when we’ve all been in the same room, you’re recording your parts while the other guys are sitting around waiting and this way enables each of us to explore every single idea we might have, in our own time, in our own comfort space."

"One of us will have an idea and then the other one will suggest something different and want to change it. That tension is what makes Blink sound like Blink."
