Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Save one salty reference to sporting an embarrassing "boner during PE", the eponymous Blink 182, the band's fifth studio album is mercifully bereft of the references to farts and turds that have littered the lyrics of preceding million-sellers such as Enema of the State. Both Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge have become proud dads and thus have familiarised themselves with the fragrant pleasures of the 3.30am soiled-nappy change. Suddenly, shit isn't funny anymore, which is probably just as well seeing as Blink 182's comedic turns make the average Carry On film look like something by Moliere. Otherwise it's pretty much business as usual. Guitar buzz, girl troubles and teenage hormone dilemmas, big chanting choruses come flying out like volleys of snot from a pit bull terrier's nose and the whole thing sounds like Bob Mould's Sugar fronted by the imaginary snivelling younger sibling of Dean Friedman. While "Easy Target" bucks the trend by indulging in snarling minor-chord meltdown and Robert Smith of the Cure is commendably mopey on "All of This", to call this loveably hummable buffed-up racket "punk" would be wholly disrespectful to the much cherished memory of Sham 69 or the Lurkers. The fans will love it, of course, but the uncommitted will find themselves somewhat boner-less, even during PE. --Kevin Maidment




Rating: - More Mature..... but is mature better?
This album is good. It features the best song Blink 182 have ever made; "I Miss you". This song has perfect pacing and metaphorical lyrics with deeper meanings. You MUST hear this song before you die. Mark Hoppus and Tom Delonge both work together very well on this song; their voices contrasting perfectly.

The rest of the album is a little bit shaky. Some of the songs are great whearas some are bland and forgettable. "Violence" has a pointless intro and a questionable layout but features ... Read More

Rating: - Punk jokers grow up, make album of their lives, split up.
Blink 182 didn't make a great deal of progression across their successful career. They made one great leap when Travis Barker, arguably the best drummer in punk rock history, replaced founding drummer Scott Raynor, but outside of that there was little evidence of it until this album. This untitled, not self-titled album was one final stab at maturity. It burned them out, and they broke up shortly before they finished promoting it; the perfect way to bow out, having proved themselves.

Rating: - Give it a chance
Blink 182 introduced me to the music that I listen to today, the very first time I heard 'All The Small Things'. If it wasnt for them I wouldn't be into such great music. I loved all of their previous albums, I loved seeing them live with their great jokes and laughs.

Then this album arrived, I was just the same as everybody else who critisized it for being nothing like their previous outings. I made myself hate it because it just wasn't Blink. Now nearly 3 years down the line, knowing that ... Read More

Rating: - Different but still great.
This album is very different from the other albums, more mature but still a very high quality. My favourite song is Always. Unfortunatley this is the last proper album from Blink 182, but i look forward to their seperate bands.
This album is not their best it has to be said but i still like it and it still would be high in my cd collection. Buy it.

Rating: - Back to form
i have bought pretty much all albums prior to this one so have a good flavour for blink 182. It certainly is good. It seems to have taken a more slower approach, with them trying out some new sounds and techniques. worth your cash.
