Enema Of The State

Love some blink man. Maybe a bit hit or miss, but the highlights are HIGHHHH. 7/10

​Released in 1999, Enema of the State isn't just a collection of catchy tracks—it’s the definitive blueprint for turn-of-the-millennium pop-punk. It took the fast, raw energy of skate punk and polished it with massive, radio-ready hooks that completely revitalized the genre for a new generation.

4.7 One of the few albums that I was in shock wasn't on the main list. It's so hard not to rate this with nostalgia, but being 10 years old when this came out, I cannot tell you how *huge* this release was. In an era of nu metal (limp bizkit/Korn), rap (Eminem), and generic pop (take that, boyzone, spice girls, etc.), as a kid looking for something new this was incredible. Obviously took a lot of inspiration from the earlier pop-punk flavours of Green day and Offspring, but this to me is the seminal pop-punk release, being slightlier poppier than Dookie/Smash whilst not coming across manufactured in the slightest. The video to All the Small Things was such an amazing piss take of all boybands at that time. And Mutt's (and theirs) appearence on American Pie, a movie which is a 10yo opened my eyes to a whole new world I was about to come crashing into, was brilliant. Musically fantastic, from the opening minute of Dumpweed you can tell how beastly Travis was, totally different vibe to Scott that took them on a new trajectory (whilst admittedly I still think Dude Ranch is an absolutely brilliant release). So many more bangers in this album. Going away to college. Adams Song (which I think slightly glorified suicide perversely). Anthem. Haven't listened to this properly in years as I rinsed it dry decades ago. But when I hear it now I'm transported back to having a feeling of hope for this world. A fleeting fuzzy feeling. Makes me happy.

not as good as the self-titled album actually

Meh

As someone who was really into pop punk before Blink even hit the scene, I always felt they were a knock-off, less interesting version of the Lookout! bands I was listening to at the time. Still feel that way. Barker's drumming is outstanding, but the rest I could do without. 2.5/5

Good album Their 3rd best Wendy Clear is the best song

One of the best

Late 90s / early 00s "Punk" was terrible, this album is no different. 3/5

Avoided them at the time but it was a fun and surprisingly deep album

What's My Age Again? Same as theirs. I grew up on probably the same bands they did: Descendents, Bad Religion, NOFX, etc. At the time, this felt like an immature version of that sound. An immature version of NOFX, for God's sake. I hated them when they were new, and they were awful live. I first saw them when they opened for Lagwagon and Pulley. Still they were unavoidable for a couple of years. Then the 2000s happened. Bands like Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy gave me a new baseline for disposable pop-punk, and suddenly this didn't seem like the bottom of the barrel anymore. Looking back now, the album is actually pretty good and it should have been in the book as a key album of the late 90s and early 00s.

Vapid guitar pop. I get that for some people this will hold nostalgic value, perhaps recalling the discovery that there's more to music than just vapid teen pop? But come on man, even if that journey starts with Blink 182 (et al), it doesn't end there. Embarrassing.

Je suis pas mal underwhelmed, genre le cover est tellement inconique, mais la musique ressemble trop à du Green Day diluée

Two blink-182 albums on the user list, not sure what that says about the audience. So this is the radio-friendly, shock-the-parents version of blink-182? The singles certainly stand out; some cringe on here too.

Eh, not really my thing, and doesn't benefit from a nostalgia bump - I'd listened to Green Day's "Dookie" a bunch in my teens and then moved on to NOFX, so when this arrived it felt a bit too poppy and I didn't check out the album. Fave tracks - "What's My Age Again?" and "All The Small Things" benefit from me hearing them a bunch I guess. "Adam's Song" stood out to me on this listen - apparently that was a single too, but I don't recall hearing it before - maybe it wasn't big in the UK? "Wendy Clear" was also alright...

Best Song: Adam's Song. I'm a sucker for upbeat songs about sad things. Worst Song: Anthem. The arrangement feels punk but the vocals are so egregiously pop. Overall: I missed the boat on blink-182 when I was younger, so I have no nostalgia for a band that really feels like it relies on nostalgia to be listened to in 2026. It's pop-punk in name, but the "punk" part feels at times like the thinnest veneer over a deep core of pop. Combined with vocals so nasal they're basically Neil Young, it's a lot to deal with.

God I listened to this so much when I was in my 20s and hardly ever since. I was surprised (stupidly) by how aged it sounds. Production is fine, but as I got older and snobbier I want a little more politics in my punk and a little less wee and poo

Pop-punk, skate punk. Un megahit. Venga, un 4.

yeah sure why not

early 2000's pop-punk. As influential and omni-present as it was, I've always found Blink to be like junk food (or the Bloodhound Gang), immensely satisfying in the moment, but not very nutritional, and too much of it will make you sick.

I'm actually shocked at how good I found this to be. Not that I think it was great or anything, but blink-182 has always been one of those nothing bands to me that everyone seems to love. I found the vocals grating, and the hits especially predictable. However, the deep cuts, the more skater punk like tracks, are pretty solid, and I'd even say I liked a song or two. I think that equates to some amount of proper recognition, no matter how little.

It's fun and quick! There's definitely more depth to this one then some of their previous albums, but it's still pretty light and bright overall. Enjoyable and repeatable

It’s a classic. Sure it’s immature and a bit cringe. But my god it’s such a tight album. My favourite has always been aliens exist, I just love the lyrics ‘I know the CIA would say what you hear is all heresay’, ‘nice to know ya, paranoia, where’s my mother, biofather’, it’s just such a fun track, oh and ot flows do well into going away to college, which also flows into what’s my age again .Dumpweed/ don’t leave me is a 1/2 opening punch telling the story of a toxic guy and the end of his relationship. Dysentery Gary is so childish, sounds like a 13 year old wrote it but it’s charming. Then Adams song, probably ‘the best’ song in terms of songwriting, it still has the charm but by this bands standards it’s depressing. All the small things is just a pop classic. Worst song is the party song but it’s just okay, not a bad track here really. Mutt is solid not one I’ve spent too much time with but good quality anyway. Wendy clear is a great song overshadowed by 10 better songs but the hook (‘but I’d play with fire to break the ice line, I’d play with a nuclear device, I wish it didn’t have to be so bad’) is really strong. Anthem I just think ‘I time bomb, I time bomb’ 5/5

This music is just not something I know how to appreciate LOL. I personally just can’t really see the talent. I mean I’m not offended by this but just wouldn’t listen again.

To be fair, these guys are really good at what they do and I'm familiar with a few of these cuts. I just really dislike virtually every aspect of it. No point in nitpicking and trying to convince the 3 people that read this why I don't like it, just that most of this entire genre is just eye-rolling to me even if this was so big it really should be in the book. 4/10 2 stars IMO: Belonged in the book? yes.

it encapsulates a particular time and place. It's very teenager-y and at times there's nothing wrong with that. In my case, I listen to this record whenever I feel nostalgia for a time I didn't exactly live in, meaning, never. It has some catchy tunes, though.

Is the album any good? Dunno, don't care, I love it.

Favourite songs: What's My Age Again?, All the Small Things, Adam's Song, Dumpweed, Mutt, Don't Leave Me, Going Away to College, Aliens Exist, Dysentery Gary, Wendy Clear Least favourite songs: The Party Song 5/5

Solid pop punk

So like I said before, I never quite got on with blink-182 in the way I probably should've as a pop punk kid, but Enema of the State should've been on the original list because it was one of the biggest albums in a genre that was massive for a fairly long time, and the list completely pretty much shuns everything that defined an era. As an album I like it but don't and never loved it, the singles are loads better than the album tracks, Adam's Song being exceptionally underrated, but it's still a pretty good listen, gets a lot done in 35 minutes and shows plenty of versatility. Gets a 4/5.

Baby food punk, the Wiggles have more raw energy

Average only.

If you didn't grow up with this joke of a band in the late 90's, there's a slim chance it'll appeal to you, if you did grow up hearing this nonsense, do the world a favor and keep your miserable memories to yourself!

Between Tom DeLonge's whiny vocals and plenty of terrible lyrics, blink-182 should be intolerable. But somehow it still winds up being infectious despite those glaring faults. The complete absence of blink-182 on the 1001 is an inexcusable oversight. I don't love them, but I can't deny their popularity and impact in the late 2000s. They inspired a lot of other whiny singing and cringy pop punk, so overall a good addition on an album I have very mixed feelings about.

A couple things bother me about this album. Much of the time, the drums are a constant metronome at the forefront of the mix. It’s not so much Travis Barker, but the punk pop genre. And the vocals sound like a teenager in the basement whining at his mom to make him a grilled cheese. When in reality it’s a dude in his mid 20s perfectly capable of melting cheese on bread in a buttered pan his damn self. Adam’s Song is amazing though. The drums are present but in a supporting role. Moreover, the vocals don’t sound whiny, but rather like loneliness oozing through the speakers earned from months and months on the road away from home.

My age is 23. Nobody likes me. 4/5

Känt omslag och några monsterhits. Ganska okej.

blink-182 makes me think of the lyrics to Zappa's "Tinseltown Rebellion": But then they took some guy's advice To get a record deal, he said They would have to be more punk Forget their chops and play real dumb Or else they would be sunk The songs just feel... dumb. And I could go my whole life without hearing "All The Small Things." NEXT. Top songs: "Dumpweed," "What's My Age Again?"

Love this album, though their follow-up Take Off Your Pants and Jacket might be even better. I know some people don't like Blink or think they watered down punk, but it's just as cleverly irreverent as classic punk and way more melodic. So why hate on pop punk? A weakness of classic punk is limited musicianship and flawed vocals, and that's not here. It is FUN as hell. Everybody knows the two big singles What's My Age Again and All the Small Things (stone cold classics), which are models of juvenile delinquency and/or pop punk simplicity, but Adam's Song shows their deeper lyrical and musical ability. Other great lighthearted songs are Dumpweed, Don't Leave Me, Dysentery Gary, The Party Song, Wendy Clear, while another great deeper song is Aliens Exist (still has goofy moments). This album was a watershed moment for pop punk - a genre that lasted just as long as other genres recognized on the 1,001 list - k and really should've been on the list.

What the hell, was this not included on the original list? Of all the misses so far, I think this might be the most egregious. The cultural impact was (and is) massive, and I really enjoy the silliness of blink-182 who never become truly obnoxious like some of their pop-punk peers.

I'm not one to say pop punk is necessarily a betrayal of punk overall. But it has to be done right -- which means that a genuine punk spirit needs to be found there, with the minimum amount of transgression required to challenge an audience. And the pop elements must *also* be worthy of your time -- you got to have truly memorable hooks offering some welcome dynamics somehow, so as to not repeat the same sort of dross again and again. Heck, I love Green Day's *Dookie*, so I know bands can pull this sort of thing off with the right set of skills. What about blink-182 circa-*Enema of the State*, then? Are they both 'good punk' and 'good pop'? This LP is supposedly their magnum opus, emblematic of a specific moment in late-'90s/early-2000s music culture, after all... As far as punk transgression is concerned, you can put it in a nutshell thanks to that final line in opener "Dumpweed": "I need a girl that I can train". Eyeroll. Well, blink-182, good job for catching the incel spirit a decade before the word even existed! Not really what I call 'punk transgression' in my book, but I guess that's a way to represent the effect of raging hormones in a male teenager's body, and how said effect feels harder to go through when you're the odd one out living in the damn suburbs. That said, this doesn't change the fact you have to be a f*cking idiot to sing along to this song, whether then or now. Of course, I'm aware that there are layers of (self-)irony aimed at boys elsewhere in the album. But it's just that those layers are not particularly witty either. In an excerpt from *Enema of the State*’s 2000 tour booklet, lead singer Tom DeLonge actually had to explain the meaning of “Dumpweed,” stating: "Girls are so much smarter than guys and can see the future as well as never forget the past. So that leaves the dog as the only thing men are smarter than." Now that's a hilarious statement, and I'm left wondering why on earth Tom never thought of inserting such sharp one-liners in his lyrics -- lyrics that are on the contrary either vague, hackneyed or ham-fisted overall. Looks like the guy can be genuinely funny. The thing is, he was probably too lazy and complacent to ever bother about what he actually sings. Well, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong or NOFX's Fat Mike certainly ain't lazy like that. What about the pop parts in the blink-182 formula then? Let's just say that the hooks are not that catchy to my ears, the chord sequences clone each other so fast it feels you're stuck inside a top secret Big Pharma laboratory, and even worse, the vocal lines, themselves cloned on an assembly line, are so goddamn... flat. While a lot of people hear something "bratty" in those vocals, I just perceive the latter as innocuous and devoid of any real flavor. Can you hear that as well? Consequently, I never could understand blink-182's commercial success. It makes me feel like the -- at the time -- young, en masse target audience for pop-punk just had awful music tastes. And it's something I refuse to believe to this day, in spite of said success. It's just mind-boggling for me. To be clear, the problem with this album is not that it should be groundbreaking or deep -- it would indeed be a little foolish to expect such depth from Tom, Mark and Travis, whose main goal is obviously to stick to their formula as much as they can. No, the *real* problem is that there were tons of better bands in that genre out there during the late nineties, doing this kind of thing with more bite and imagination, even as they stayed within the constraints of pop-punk or "skate-punk". Whether musically or lyrically, *Punk In Drublic*-era NOFX just wiped the floor with blink's daft, harmless tunes, just to take one example. And for a lot of people aware of that scene during the nineties, it was therefore a little difficult buying into blink's shtick when it broke out. Add the processed vocals and streamlined-to-a-fault production values (to make pop-punk palatable for general audiences, Jerry Finn had certainly done a much more subtle job six years earlier on *Dookie* -- and it's not the discreet addition of organ and synths here and there on *Enema Of The State* that can redeem that "streamlined" effect), and what you have here is a record clearly favoring style over substance. *This* here is what feels like a betrayal of punk for me, period. With all that in mind, *Enema Of The State* is still objectively a far better and more cohesive album than the later blink-182 LP suggested on the users list. Two massive singles surely gave it rocket fuel, one of whom ("What's My Age Again?) I still find extremely boring, with the other being quite alright ("All The Small Things", with its goofy surf-rock-adjacent "na-na-na" hook and subtle synth flourishes in the background). And I also like "Adam's Song". The chords, instrumentation and arrangements in it are not particularly original, but something happens there vocally and lyrically that makes that one stand out from the pack. I guess it's what a listener can expect from a good pop song, right? Plus, you can sense that the band members were (secretly) fans of The Cure at the time when you listen to that one -- just as they adapted Robert Smith's formula into a sunny-drenched, major-mode, California-friendly translation. It's very subliminal, of course. But the rest is just a borefest for me. Just not essential, in spite of its commercial success. *2* for cultural impact, maybe. And that feels generous. 2/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 7/10 for more general purposes: 5 for the musicianship and "professional" production values + 1.5/5 for the.artistry + a 0.5 bonus for cultural impact.

A titan of pop punk. All the Small Things is just an absolutely iconic song, and there's so many more here too.

Nice! Great album, I'm actually seeing Blink in about a week so good timing on this one.

It’s pop-punk perfection and a perfect reflection of Y2K adolescence No notes.

I thought for sure this album would have been on the original list.

It's ok I guess- not my cup of tea and a bit manufactured. I think if I'd grown up with this it would mean more. It's like a boyband with a pop-punk slant.

You don't really need my review. You know what it is. Its good and a landmark. It should have been on the main list.

Pop-punk inofensivo, bastante orientado al público juvenil. Estilo definido y repetitivo, misma secuencia. Me gusta, aunque le hubiese faltado algo más de agresividad o de variedad

Overrated

Enema of the State is pop-punk 101: catchy hooks, juvenile lyrics, fast tempos, and a sense of bratty fun. It’s emblematic of a specific moment in late-'90s/early-2000s music culture, but it's not particularly groundbreaking or deep. Two massive singles gave it rocket fuel, but musically, there were much better bands doing this kind of thing with more bite and substance. It's fine. Just not essential. 3* for cultural impact, not musical innovation.

Music to refuse to clean your room by.

Stay classy, San Diego. Seemingly overlooked in the ongoing debate about just how far outside punk this is (obviously way outside according to major gatekeepers’ and purists) is whether or not making punk more accessible and safe for mall rats might be the punkest thing of all. But more to the actual point, this is silly and puerile, sophomoric and jejuene and seems maybe to have got more so over time. Its appeal to a certain cohort also seems clearer in retrospect, thanks to the pristine production and catchy hooks. Blink-182 certainly did not go broke (and appear to have had fun in) underestimating the taste of the American public (or at least suburban teenagers), though it's not clear they had any better taste; they also made themselves entirely deserving targets of elitist critical disdain. Maybe that’s a fair trade. Certainly doesn't belong on list proper, save as a replacement as Britney Spears, whose at least as punk as this lot, at least in one's (not entirely informed) view.

Dated and cheesy

Oof. This short-lived genre of music sounds whiny in retrospect.

This style of punk has never been my thing, but they do it well enough here and come away with some legitimately good songs.

I've heard this. 3?

Although a landmark album for both Blink and the pop punk genre at large, Enema of the State is primarily defined by it's singles. And they're good singles too! The catchiness of All the Small Things, the wit of What's My Age Again, the surprising depth of Adam's Song, all make this album the powerhouse that it is. The rest of the tracklist feels like it doesn't quite reach the same heights, lacking in either hooks or fresh ideas or anything else. Most egregious is Travis Barker's incessant need to do the most drum flourishes on any given song, which makes me think he's too preoccupied with his own talent to just play the damn song with a simple beat. Whatever. CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: As important as this album is, I might prefer to go with their self-titled instead.

Genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed this. It just flows so nicely as an album and does that gapless thing which is so cool.

Great US pop punk. Wholesome and difficult to dislike.

I'm not a blink-182 fan or anything, but I think their earlier stuff is pretty good. This album is kinda where they started to go downhill for me. It till has some great songs like Dysentery Gary, but also some absolute cringe like Adam's Song. Still, compared to most of these user-submitted albums (and a lot of the original list, really), I enjoyed this more.

yo OP just in case you don't know... https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/angels-and-airwaves/i-empire/

May 9, 2025 HL: "Going Away to College", "What's My Age Again", "All the Small Things", "Adam's Song", "Wendy Clear" blah, skate punk, no thanks. (35 minutes later) there is something to this skate punk First Blink-182 album, but doesn't really feel like it with how much I've heard the most famous tracks. The *less* famous tracks don't stray far from the formula, but I'd be shocked if they did. *throws 4 stars on the counter* Keep the change

This was a good nostalgic listen! The purer simple days of pop punk. Love it

This is a banger of an album, really takes me back.

Wasn’t my favourite album at the time, (was dude ranch when I was 14) but looking back this is probably peak blink 182, when they improved there production and still had an edgy pop punk sound. They went downhill from here in my eyes.if I was to include 1 blink album on the List it would have to be this one.

These guys came on the scene as I was hitting the end of high school. I didn’t really get into them at the time. I found it a little juvenile. That hasn’t changed. I tried. I gave it a good shot. Just didn’t do it for me.

Bratty in a way that charli xcx could only dream of achieving. It's a masterfully-executed vision, but it is so goddamn stupid

Blink 182 are one of the titans of the 90’s/00’s pop punk surge. Great music overall

Not a fan of blink-182. They kinda stink-182.

Just a monumental album to me, and one that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Tell me you're an elder millennial without telling me you're an elder millenial. Naturally Blink 182 started out kinda X-y but this album particularly has to be one of the signifiers, stating that Gen X had truly passed. I think that the start of the changeover is probably pretty easily tied into the 1995 Amy Heckerling fillum Clueless. Clueless featured the dying strains of X - Bowie, Radiohead, Coolio, for real X-gen stuff. But notably there was also some No Doubt and Mighty Mighty Bosstones, whose ska-punk ushered in the millennials, and Blink 182, The Offspring and Green Day all jumped into new, more poppy and rocky variations, but all very noticeably shifting from a late X sound to a discernibly different Millennial one. Naturally, as one of the last of X I find Blink 182 to be mostly juvenile and overhyped. That being said, a couple of tracks on here are genuinely pretty good. And they do very much exemplify the change of an epoch. So there's that.

No more blink 182 please

It's nostalgic, it's a great sound and it has two classics on it. But it is a victim of CD culture, and gives you a lot of samey filler to fill the disc.

Regardless of quality: This album is a glaring omission from the original list, considering both it’s commercial success and it’s cultural impact. This being left out indicative of the author(s)’s negative bias towards the pop-punk and emo music that was popular during this time (The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance is another similarly missing classic). Regarding the quality: Energetic and fun. Not totally my thing, but I can see why many are fond of it.

Never been a huge blink-182 fan but this album was everywhere around that time period. It really nails the time period and atmosphere of the time. It's a baffling ommission from the original list. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 4/5 Should this have been included on the original list? Yes. Strong yes.

Admittedly, I avoided Blink because everyone I knew who was into them was into *only* them and that's it. Plus, my listening of "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" didn't have me go back for more. I'd imagine it'd be a different story if I went with this album and not the former. Blink's juvenile sense of humor is on display, for better and worse, but their ability to write a pop hook really kills. The switching vocals provide relief that you'll never get too bored or annoyed by one voice. It's a solid album of youthful nostalgia, at least for me. Favorite tracks: "Aliens Exist", "What's My Age Again?", "Don't Leave Me"

Fun pop punk with some deeper thoughts as well.

4.5

All of the songs (except maybe Adam's song) sound pretty similar, but I like the song they all sound like! Often silly, regularly fast, the sound of my high school and the years that followed. I counted, and think I have covered over half these songs in one band or another. This is more a sign of time and genre than quality, but still interesting (to me at least)!

Fully enjoyable. I was more of a Sum-41 girl, not sure why, but this took me right back. Unfortunately will never get my head round the whole Kardashian thing.

Blink’s best album and a fantastic slice of energetic and catchy pop-punk, with Travis Barker solidifying his place in the group with some of the most ridiculously quick and technical drumming the genre has ever seen. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 is that there are a couple of songs (especially Mutt and Wendy Clear towards the end) that do absolutely nothing for me. But when the album hits, it really hits. There are the huge singles What’s My Age Again and All the Small Things, the more retrospective Adam’s Song, and the up-tempo ragers Dumpweed and The Party Song - so much variety for a pretty commercial pop-punk record and just a very fun time

I like it

Believe it or not, I've never listened to this one all the way through. I don't know why. It's a classic, and it should have made the list. The touchpoints here are incredible, from the now played out huge hits, to Adam's Song, which hinted at the future and bigger things. I keep seeing comments about another Blink album on the list. I never saw one?

I feel 18 years old when I listen to this (although maybe not the actual 18-year-old I was). Fun!

Not over the moon, but maybe just mooned...

Oh! They're from Poway!

When I think of poppy punk skater music, several songs from this album comes to mind. Blink-182 sort of defined the genre and not having this on the 1001 list is an oversight considering the influence this had on music. All The Small Things and Whats My Age Again? Were monster hits. More reason why leaving this off was an oversight I would think. Not to mention, it’s catchy as all get-out. Fun!

Puerile and funny!

The musical equivalent of American Pie 3. Purile, unfunny, and objectively bad. Also, totally lacking in edge. Just so, so predictable and dull. Rating: 1 Playlist track: All the Small Things Date listened: 16/11/24

Another Blink submission from a user? Why does this band have such an intense chokehold on people in my age bracket? I'll never understand. They have some good funny tunes, the singles are solid. But they're not revolutionary or awe-inspiring in any way. I will say though, that I think this album should be the one included in the original list to best represent the band. Dude Ranch sucks. This is the album that cemented these goofs as a permanent fixture in the pop rock realm.

Half of the album is kind of good

I'm sure that I've mocked this band over the years and I'm a little annoyed thinking about Tom DeLong walking around the stands in San Diego wearing a Padres jersey while they were beating my beloved Dodgers in the playoffs last night (first thing I thought of when this album was generated last night.) I'm not gonna deny catching myself singing along to All The Small Things when it came on today though. There's always been a place for pop punk going back to The Buzzcocks and this is a fun poppy representation of pop punk that I totally would've been into if I was in high school when it came out.

Pop-punk, skate punk. Un megahit. Venga, un 4.

Catchy, energetic and fun, with a strong pop sensibility. A bit lyrically juvenile for my tastes and I'm not a fan of the vocals, but "All the Small Things" is a classic.

I remember hating the blink-182 album that’s on the list so I’m baffled why they didn’t choose this one instead. It has all of their hits, still holds up today, and is a pretty important album of the 90s so why not choose it. Everyone knows all the hits from this so I won’t repeat them here but almost everything rocked on this album. This would’ve gone even more crazy if I had been born 15 years earlier or discovered this when I was like 14. Also pretty decent walking around the park high music surprisingly.

A really powerhouse of an album with unlimited energy that gives such a good and unfiltered view of young adulthood and it's joys and pains.

I frickin' love this album. Pop punk at its finest. Maybe the Party Song is a bit weak, but otherwise the album is start to finish catchy mostly fun (thanks Adam's Song) bangers that double down on goofball youth and their priorities.

i'm sure it's great if you're 13

Lots and lots of energy, fun and catchy tunes. I like it.

Nostalgic
