Claim: Blink-182 released an album.

Neighborhoods is the sixth studio album by American rock band Blink-182 , released September 27 , 2011 through DGC Records and Interscope Records . Their first album of new material in eight years -LRB- the longest gap between albums to date -RRB- , its recording followed the band 's breakup and later reconciliation . Due to conflicts within the trio , the band entered an `` indefinite hiatus '' in 2005 and the members explored various side-projects . After two separate tragedies regarding the band and their entourage , the members of the band decided to reunite in late 2008 , with plans for a new album and tour . It is the first Blink-182 album produced by the band members without the help of an outside record producer .   The band 's studio autonomy , tours , managers and personal projects stalled the recording process , which lasted from shortly after the band 's February 2009 reunion to July 2011 . The band developed Neighborhoods in separate studios and regrouped at various periods to record . The band 's numerous delays in the recording process resulted in the band canceling a European tour and the label setting a deadline for the album to be due . The trio wrote lyrics regarding such subjects as isolation , confusion and death . The band infused inspiration from each member 's various musical tastes to form a unique sound that recalled their separate upbringings , leading the trio to compare the album to separate neighborhoods .   Neighborhoods was released to mixed reviews from critics ; some felt it was a natural evolution from the band 's previous releases , while others found it stale and disjointed . The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and `` Up All Night '' and `` After Midnight '' were released as singles , with both attracting modest success on Billboard 's Alternative Songs chart . Despite this , Neighborhoods did not sell as well as earlier releases and the band would depart from Interscope the following fall . The group would later look back on their comeback album with divided feelings ; DeLonge would admit that the recording methods perhaps created less unity within the group . Ever since the release of the band 's seventh studio album , California , songs from Neighborhoods have been omitted from the band 's live set .
