What is this?! You might have done the most incredible re-branding and marketing thing ever done in music! So we came out with something really cool but the whole thing died very quickly because it created a really significant obstacle in [Blink] that really divided the band.
The label sensed that and it was the last thing they wanted; it was the last thing anybody wanted. So we just put it to the side. We did one tour and then it was gone. You tweeted recently that you and Travis had a serious conversation which obviously led to many BCR assumptions from your followers.
You've since dropped more hints and even asked who fans would want to see guest on a second album. So how many beans can you spill? What's going on? There was always talk of Box Car Racer; we've talked about it for a very long time. We just came out with vinyl, and we've gotten offers to bring it back. I don't know if it was like Coachella, but we've had things like that pop up from time to time.
It's something that's never died in our imaginations and it's something that I think we're willing to do. But I think that our passion for what we did lives strong. We do talk about it and we do want to do something but we have no desire to talk about details because there's a lot going on in my life right now, and [Travis's]. Blink's doing really well right now and everyone's in a good spot, contrary to what public opinion may be. And I'm making major motion pictures and working with people in government, so it's a big deal.
So if you were to do another album, who are some people you'd love to get involved with it, as far as the guest situation? His voice just makes me feel like I'm back in the '70s or some shit. But, I don't know That's a really good question.
I mean, do you go with something electronic and edgy, or do you go with someone who's more of a veteran of cool, where we come from? Do you put Enya on there? That'd be cool, too. I don't think there are any limits at all; it just has to be someone very authentic. That's all I care about. I saw a lot of people responding to that tweet and suggesting Mark [Hoppus], which I guess you had to expect. Oh, yeah. That was funny. I saw that, too. So if it came to be, what are the chances we'd get a conspiratorial concept album?
If we were to do an album, what are the chances it would be If it were it'd probably have a twist because I am somebody who's deeply involved in things that are contrary to public opinion when it comes to conspiracy. I know a lot of stuff and it's just always different than what you think it is, and that would be a story I would like to tell even if it's through a concept album. Your emotions cause you to define something that hasn't been defined and your emotions aren't always correct. And when you learn the real definition of whatever the subject matter is you might feel a little naive.

The band began recording their first and only album in December Jerry Finn, longtime producer of Blink, was hired to produce the album. The depression that came from being in constant pain influenced the lyrics of the album largely. With DeLonge playing bass for the album, a bassist went unannounced until the band made their live debut with touring bassist Anthony Celestino on April 1, The eponymous Box Car Racer album was officially released on May 21, to commercial success — the album reached number 12 on the Billboard , and " I Feel So ", the first single release, was already climbing the charts.
Critics praised the new direction DeLonge and Barker had taken; as such, the album received positive reviews. Slant magazine called the album a "much needed departure from the banality of Blink" and "the perfect union of pop punk riffs and instrumentation that spans all genres of rock from indie to folk.
It was announced that August that the band would be headlining their own tour with supporting act The Used; the tour began October 25, He thought it was really lame Travis [Barker] and I went and did that, but it was a totally benign thing on my part, because I only asked Travis to play drums because I didn't want to pay for a studio drummer. It wasn't meant to be a real band. It is also well known among enthusiastic followers of DeLonge's work that a song that DeLonge wrote for the album but never added to the final track list called 'Dance With Me' was sometimes played at Boxcar Racer shows.
