Pros: A very good Blink 182 album
Cons: Its still Blink 182
Summary: I remember my "experience" seeing Blink 182 live in concert for the first time quite vividly. Most notably, I remember it for the sense of abject fear placed in my mind. I suppose I should explain. A few years back, the British second-wave ska band ...

Pros: Really good lyrics by mark and thomas and excellent drum play by travis
Cons: they were serious in this cd
Summary: Blink had not really promoted the album at that stage (now it's taking off with the success of 'I Miss You'). I took it home and stuck it in the Cd player and I felt safe in the knowledge that the first song 'Feeling This' resembled the Blink 182 of ...

Pros: Um...well...nothing, really.
Cons: Think of something related to music. Whatever you thought of, that is a problem. Stinks.
Summary: You know, when Blink-182 came out with a CD in late 2003, I was very excited. They've been making great punk-pop music since the early 90's, and I thought that I was in store for another great album. How wrong I was. They self-titled this album ...

Pros: More core crunching riffs but also more mature songs from the fantastic Trio.
Cons: The fallen syndrome is sh*t, thats the only con of the album.
Summary: This latest album from the punk pop trio is an excellent installment to their collection. Since problems with their personal lives Tom and Mark have grown up and thought to themselves that they do not want to write cheesy chorus catching songs anymore ...

Pros: Blink 182 is a lot more serious.
Cons: Blink 182 is a lot more serious.
Summary: This album is great. Anyone who's into the less cuss words and better music, go for it. As I got this CD, I listened to every song 3 times. I'm Feelin' This is great especially when Mark gets to sing solo and when Mark and Tom sing at the end. Obvious is ...

Pros: Some good songs, Better lyrics, Strong musicians
Cons: 'The fallen syndrome' Vocals dont fit in with the music all the time.
Summary: 'Well I guess this is growing up'. It seems an age since we first heard the chirpy pop punk vocals of Mark and Tom utter these famous words, but its taken them this long to finally do it upon the release of their newest album, the effortlessly titled ...

Pros: It proves an for an interesting album with decent music.
Cons: Maturity isn't proved with more emotion.
Summary: For a band that sang of Asian friends and having sex with someone’s mother, a serious side was almost impossible. For a band that claimed to be punk but was actually pop, good music was ridiculous claim. Is it possible for Blink 182 to have ...

Pros: Same people "only different", some good songs.
Cons: Most the cd is bad, no jokes, NOT BLINK-182!
Summary: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? Is what I ask myself everytime, this album is mentioned. The best of the best has been destroyed. And now is gone forever, or so I DON'T hope. I was what I thought of as a HUGE blink-182 fan, really big, like bigger than a ...

Pros: new, exiting, varied, easy to listen to, deep in places,top quality & about 50mins long!
Cons: If your looking for a typical blink 182 album, this is not it.
Summary: My first impression on hearing that blink 182 were going for a new direction was one of intrigue, and exitement. I love blink 182, I love the fast punk/pop stuff, but somthing different was definitely not a bad thing. But I wasn't expecting this. I ...

Pros: Great new songs, Tom does more singing.
Cons: No funny jokes about bestiality.
Summary: Okay, i bought this album the week in Novemeber it came out over here - only because I saw the release date on the internet. Blink had not really promoted the album at that stage (now it's taking off with the success of 'I Miss You'). I took it home ...

Pros: Blink's grown up
Cons: Will this alienate their fan base?
Summary: To be completely open and honest, I’ve always kind of had a soft spot for the sophomoric ridiculousness that is Blink-182. In between much of the banal tripe, this band has had many solid singles including "Adam’s Song" and "Stay Together for the Kids". ...

Pros: Mature new sound, cameo from The Cure's Robert Smith.
Cons: Negligible lyrical content.
Summary: Blink-182 has always struck me as the son of Green Day. Just as Green Day's early work was kind of jokey, Blink's brand of pop-punk has always been pretty joke-intensive. While I own "Enema Of The State" and "Take Off Your Pants..." nothing turned my ...

Pros: Great songs, meaningful lyrics, videos come along with CD
Cons: Darker and more mature material, no jokes
Summary: I must say that when I first heard that blink-182 was coming out with a "mature" and "experimental" album, I was taken aback with shock. The same guys that wrote songs about the desire to have intercourse with a dog and made jokes about p--ises and all ...

Pros: some solid experimentation and songs, Travis Barker's drumming
Cons: poor lyrics, failed experimentation, very uneven
Summary: When it comes to Blink 182, there are usually two opinions that music fans have of them. They either like them or they hate them. There are very few anywhere in the middle. Some of the criticism has been admittedly justified, given their ...

Pros: I Miss You, Robert Smith,
Cons: Over use of Effects, easily forgetable
Summary: Ok, every punk fan has heard of Blink 182 "maturing" and "growing up" but how does this leave it's army of Power-pop fans? With Box Car Racer 2/3's of the band executed their feelings to show an "emo" side to their music and this theme continues into ...

Pros: Great transitions and experiments. A real sense of maturity both vocally and musically. Surprisingly good!
Cons: Familiar choruses, some repetitive lyrics.
Summary: CAPSULE REVIEW: Never having been a Blink 182 fan, I was shocked and taken aback by their latest release in both its development and craftsmanship. They still fit nicely into the emo/pop punk mold that everyone is familiar with but this time ...
