context_page_description: 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, 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 last studio album to feature the Enema of the State-era lineup of the band before founding member Tom DeLonge parted ways with the group in January 2015.
  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.
context_section_description: Blink-182 first began touring in support of Neighborhoods with the 10th Annual Honda Civic Tour in August 2011. The 2011 tour marked the tenth anniversary of the tour, which Blink-182 headlined in its first incarnation. The trio headlined the 10th Annual Honda Civic Tour with My Chemical Romance, which ran from August to October 2011, with additional dates scheduled in Canada with Rancid and Against Me!. In 2012 the band embarked on a worldwide 20th Anniversary Tour. The band continued touring in 2012 with their 20th Anniversary Tour, where they performed the rescheduled European dates originally canceled in order to continue recording. They were scheduled to headline the Bamboozle 2012 Music Festival but cancelled when Barker had to undergo an operation for tonsilitis. The 20th Anniversary Tour extended into Australia for in 2013 as part of the Soundwave festival, as well as 4 sideshows along the east coast with punk acts The Vandals and Sharks. Barker, who still suffers a fear of flying, did not attend; Brooks Wackerman, drummer of Bad Religion at the time, filled-in for Barker's position for the Australian tour.
  The band has looked back on Neighborhoods more recently with a divided reaction. In 2012, DeLonge would concede that the recording method, originally his idea, led to a loss of unity, noting that e-mails dictated the majority of recording of the record, due to the hectic schedules of the band. "There's some songs on there that I love, but for the most part it was disconnected," Barker recalled. "It was like, 'You do this part in your studio, and then you're gonna play on it and send it back to me.' When we're not in the studio together, you don't have the opportunity to gel off each other." In addition, Barker was still recovering from his 2008 plane crash, which made things difficult in the studio. "Dude, I was still healing," he told Rolling Stone. "I had scabs all over my body and was, like, a bloody mess. It was just way too soon."
  In 2015, following DeLonge's departure, Barker claimed DeLonge "didn't even care about [Neighborhoods]. He didn't even listen to mixes or masterings from that record."
