Blink-182

One of my all-time favorite bands. Whoever submitted this, thanks! Haven't listened to this particular album in a couple of years, but it's as great as I remember. I Miss You is my favorite Blink song of all time. This album immediately takes me back to the Summer after HS graduation; the unknown excitement of getting ready to move to a new city for college, saying goodbye to friends in hindsight you likely will never see again. Wow, what a time capsule of emotions. Fate fell short this time!

I mean, it's allright. Overrated as fuck in my opinion. 2

Unbelievable this album is not included in the books! Such iconic songs that meant so much for the punk-pop scene.

I used to quite like Enema of the State but I think I've grown away from pop punk as a whole. A couple of songs are classics but I really didn't want to listen to this whole thing. 6/10

I don't think I ever listened to this band at length before. I've got nothing against this, it's fast, it's polished. Whenever I tuned into the lyrics they seemed pretty superficial.

Two user-submitted Blink-182 albums ehhh. It's unfortunate they are so closer together for me in the list. I liked them a lot in middle/high school but after the years they are just... fine. I mean, a lot of it is nostalgia for me, but I think "Enema of the State" is probably the better album. The song with Robert Smith of The Cure was a surprise though. Not the collaboration I would have thought existed.

It's weird, I like punk and I like pop, but punk-pop seems like a stupid genre to me. Unpopular opinion I know. The singer sounds like a 14 year old brat. 2 stars.

Robert Smith, what have ye done?!

When i was younger i looked down on Blink 182. I recognize that it was MTV's fault, not the songs. Not just for oversaturating the music but also for overplaying clips of them running around naked and other pop-punk antics. It's good that they're getting their flowers now - there are some undeniable bangers and great music here.

Everyone loves Blink. I don't think this is quite as good as some of their earlier efforts (I'm partial to Enema of the State), but once again I'm shocked to be reminded that here is another artist completely missing from any edition of the book whatsoever.

Back to the golden age of punk pop, babyyyyy. Bunch of solid high school hits here

It's a generational predisposition, or one of the epoch, or something about the west coast of this continent: Praise the Californian vocal harmonies. Blink-182s is more boyish than the Beach Boys, or more pasty, any color from ink and not the sun. The band sounds only a little skatey here, but the spin on punk stretches out just a bit in length and in breadth.

I mean, a great record, but Enema of the State is a bit more vital in my opinion.

Very solid record. Even though, I think if there is a blink record that should be in the list it should be enema.

Blink's boring late-career slowdown album. They were a great fun band and this album wasn't any of that. Still ok tbh. 3/5.

5/10. Reminds me of American Idiot, but not as good.

C'est vraiment nostalgique. Il y des supers tounes qui me rappelle beaucoup de chose. I miss you, feeling this etc. mais en générale c,est juste un peu trop long pour moi 53 minutes.. 3.5

Not bad, but I prefer doofus Blink

Those first couple of Blink-182 albums were never my thing. Or as my 20ish year old self would say at that time: "Two demensional skate punk." With that I wrote them off completely and never got to hearing any of the later albums. And that turns out to be a pity! This particular album is actually pretty enjoyable. More emo-ish and musically there's a whole lot more to get from this one. From the wiki page: "the album has been described as darker and more mature than the band's earlier work." I think that sums it up for me, and also why it is much more appealing to me than their earlier efforts.

I always thought of blink-182 as an infantile punkpop band, especially when I heared Enema of the State. My opinion. But this is certainly something completely different. I can really get in to this, now that they take a more serious approach. Kudos! It could have been 4 stars, if it wasn't for the guest appearance by Robert Smith of The Cure. Damn Robert, you were certainly at the wrong party.

Or when Blink-182 wanted to mature and make a "serious" album. I'm surprised to see now that it's their highest rated album on Rate Your Music, or that it appears here. It didn't work for me then, and it doesn't work for me now, even though I've put all my effort into changing my mind since 2003...

This one is their best by far

Not my favorite Blink album (not as poppy as Enema or Jacket), but there's definitely enough here that keeps me interested in what they do next. I Miss You is the runaway hit, though Feeling This, Violence, Down and Always are really strong. Really enjoyed my time here.

It’s strange that there was no blink-182 on the original list. This album is a more mature offering that shows better developed songwriting and expands their trademark pop punk into a more New Wave direction. It works.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Feeling this, I miss you

Shockingly not terrible, but I Miss You is a godawful song.

Definitely more mature step-up from the previous User Submitted “Enema Of The State”. Some good music here.

Good

In spite of my disinclination to like it, this album won me over like a crooked smile. It's well made and a genuinely fun listen, if not mind blowing. Great energy, strong hooks, and some surprisingly lovely sounds here. There's also way more musical depth than I might expect on this type of album. But I will never enjoy those vocals. Fave Songs: Stockholm Syndrome, Asthenia, Down, I Miss You, Always, The I'm Lost Without You, All of This

Hits way less now im a non teenager! But a nice bit of nostalgia, thanks for the selection.

Blink 182's attempt to be mature and deep. It's ok, with a few nice highlights, but in the main it doesn't really suit them. Rating: 2.5 Playlist track: I Miss You Date listened: 22/08/24

Pop-punk, alternative rock, emo, new wave, post-hardcore. Ni fu ni fa.

Some core Blink songs on this one. I’ve never been a fan, but I appreciate these guys for what they are to the late 90s/early aughts punk scene.

A fun LP, but feels a bit less inspired after a first introduction to the band through Enema. This is more straight pop punk, which is enjoyable for a while but wears a bit thin by the end of the album’s surprisingly long runtime

Not their best one...

I'll jump back in when another interesting album appears. This ain't it.

Æj ekkert sérlega heillandi þennan morguninn allavega.

An interesting listen, but not one that resonated with me unfortunately.

After enema of the state I thought I’d heard enough blink 182 on this list and that’s pretty much how I still feel after hearing this. Less exciting than that album and where are you isn’t enough to make it worth it. Less punky than before and more mature in a not good way.

nooooooooo, horrible
