  • The death of the salacious album title

    Nov 19 '03
    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 ...

  • Their First Serious CD thats Awesome

    Jul 17 '05
    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 ...

  • Blink, We Are Not Feeling This

    May 03 '04
    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 ...

  • Pop Punk at its most serious!

    Apr 19 '04
    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 ...

  • Blink 182's new album

    Apr 17 '04
    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 ...

  • Well I guess this is growing up?

    Apr 15 '04
    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 ...

  • What? No Peanut Butter?

    Apr 01 '04
    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 ...

  • the death of perfect....

    Mar 27 '04
    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 ...

  • Inspiring.

    Mar 12 '04
    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 ...

  • 4 months later - it's still great.

    Mar 09 '04
    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 ...

  • Blink Grows Up

    Feb 16 '04
    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". ...

  • Dammit (Growing Up): Blink 182's "Adult" Record

    Dec 20 '03
    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 ...

  • Same Old Blink, All New Music

    Dec 05 '03
    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 ...

  • I'm Feeling This... Well, Sorta

    Dec 01 '03
    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 ...

  • One-Eighty...WHO?

    Nov 29 '03
    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 ...

  • They've Made It Through Puberty!

    Nov 22 '03
    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 ...
