Personally, i think the new blink shows growth as people and musicians. Lyrically the songs deal with the same ideas, therefore the only difference is the recording quality. Most punk bands don't have the money for the expensive equipment so blink sounds too clean for for hardcore punk rockers. However, they haven't changed that much, it just sounds better. But speaking of stealing music from yourself, the first guitar riff in online songs is the exact same as the first guitar riff in boring, and honestly online songs sounds better guitar wise.
