Nine received positive reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented its upgrade to the band's signature sound as well as its moodier lyrical content. For Nine, the trio moved from independent service BMG to major label Columbia.
Musically, the album augments the band's pop-punk sound with hip hop-inspired programming as well as electronics. Much of the album's lyricism is dark in nature and was informed by world events, as well as Hoppus's battle with depression. Hoppus also cited the significance of the number 9 as "the number of universal love, and the number of Uranus." The color wash album cover was painted by graffiti artist RISK. While Nine builds upon their collaboration with producer John Feldmann, who also produced California, it also utilizes additional outside producers and songwriters including Captain Cuts, the Futuristics, and Tim Pagnotta.Īlthough Nine is sequentially Blink-182's eighth studio album, Hoppus and Barker decided to consider it their ninth by retroactively counting the band's 1994 demo, Buddha, as their first. The band-composed of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba, and drummer Travis Barker-began developing the album after fulfilling touring obligations for their previous release, California (2016). Nine is the eighth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on September 20, 2019, through Columbia Records.
