There is no easy way to write this review. Many of you clicked here hoping to read a straight-up bashing of anything Blink-182 related; you won't find it here. I have been a fan of the band for 6 years, and have never wavered even in all their "unpunk" practices. To me, it's the music that matters, not the commercialism behind it. If you write good songs, I will listen to them. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
not my favorite album by blink, but i still love it! get cheshire cat or dude ranch instead. it's more......... punk. Honestly, I really don't like this album. I love blink 182 (they of course got me into the alternative genres), and I love the thought of them trying to go deeper, but, this album, to me fails miserably. There are a couple of good tracks, but most of it just sound like shit. Feeling This is terrible. The album was a major disappointment, considering TOYPAJ was so good. I wanted to like this album, I really did, but I can't award them the fact of creating a good album just because it was different. usualy a pop-punk band that slows down their song turn to shit...blink doesnt follow the rule... no , bad Best blink 182 album. They kick ass. I luv the songs on the cd like Down, ALways, Feeling This, I miss you and the song that also deserves a video....Go. Am I the only one who thinks "The Fallen Interlude" sounds like Limp Bizkit? Fuck all you mother fuckers that think blink 182 sucks, half of the fucking bands out today have said that blink has had a major influence on them along with green day, so fuck you blink will always be remembered and toms new band angels and airwaves will blow you fuckers away so just wait till you hear that shit If you like blink than you'll like this album.... ppl that dont like one album b'cuz its different r retards.. BLINK 182 rock... they r the best band in the work.. they r so punk-rock.... all blinks music is the bomb.. and no one should say other wise.... and if they do... u r just a small peice of shit floating in the mindless world and u dont make up to b anything or anyone... at least blink got sum where in life, they must b good other wise they wouldnt b famous and makin' money now would they!??!? so that my opinion... good bye and farewell Blink 182's "untitled" CD definetly was a more sophisticated, emotional, and a touch of the darker side of blink. The lyrics were a lot more sentimental, lustful and personal. By listening to the CD you can tell that every aspect was well thought through and somewhat flawless in what Blink was aiming for. I think this band is flippen awsome! Who ever doesn't think this is punk-rock, doesn't need to be on this site, because they don't know what punk is. hey dude my name is ace and i think its a cool cd. to the guy who gave blink a review In the current pop-music scene, money can buy you "good" musicians and producers to make your album sound more "artsy" or to give it "more integrity"... This album is a perfect example of that, and it comes across as an attempt to satisfy anxious blink fans and naysayers alike. But it didn't fool this naysayer... it a good mother fugen album and it is relly good yea it is relly good and i love it like a fat kid loves cake cause it "so punk rock." i love it its like thare is a party in my mouth and evry ones invited. if you like blink 182, the starting line, and new found glory, check out this really awesome band Stanley. listen to them at this link: www.purevolume.com/stanley Ok faggots you can stop bitching about how bad blink 182 sucks in the end you just wasted a crap load of time writing it, so fuck off blink 182 is awesome The cd is really good, i mena,yes,blink has become a commercial band but the songs are good and i liked this album a lot. But i wouldn't really call it "punk" cause the style has completely changed. But still, they've done a good job Dude they fucking rock This is by far the best cd blink ever released! dude, you need a better lifelong dream than seeing these guys live. i love them, but they cant play live worth shit. i didnt even know what song they were playing most of the time until the lyrics started. This album wasm undoubtably shocking the date I bought it to hear - November 18th 2003 (Release date in UK) u no wut? i think this cd is not as good as the others!!! the music is awful, not 2 mention blink182 reallly lost it. a little word of advice, lose the 80's stuff. their music was actually better than this load of crap... the band are good but thats not the underlining issue here, the cheese cake is high calorie but it tastes good, i mean have any of you even been to the cheese cake cafe? if you have youd know that glasgow rangers rule! I think that this cd is -okay- For years upon years I have heard bashings on Blinki-182. I have been fans of there's since I can remember. I can still remember hearing M&M for the first time in there CD Chesire Cat and when they followed that with a great CD in Dude Ranch. Up to there, everybody liked Blink-182. They were not sellouts, they were punk rockers at there fullest. they changed their music way too much, they used to be actually somewhat decent, now the only one worth shit in that band is travis cause he's fuckin great i meant "change "music they put out " to "taste"".sorry wasnt thinkin. blink-182.to put it in simplest terms they are like ghetto cheese cake.you like their music they put out, but you hate them because they are sellouts.(same goes 4 ghetto cheesecake , just change "sound" to "taste" and "sellouts" to "from k-mart") so you bash boxcar and you ebrace this???you've liked the band for 6 years but cracked on them in said boxcar review??hmm...sounds like someone did want his punk card two years ago. this album owns. i love cheese cake and once went to the cheese cake cafe were i had cheese cake and a large cola type drink but it to me was closser to a regular. i dont care what anyone says this is a GOOD cd. All the "punk rock" people suck. NOFX blows. They are just as genaric as Good Charolette. They copy of all the other "true punk" bands. Everything Rancid sucks after And Out Come The Wolves. All these "true punk rockers" need to face it that kind of punk died when Operation Ivy quit. This record rocks end of story. I think this Cd is ok.... But live, man do they suck it. To me, it's impossible to listen to music and ignoring the degree of commercialism behind it. It means everything to a band's credibility and sincerety. All I know is, any dude that listened to the Cure in my high school was automatically a fag. I definitely don't like the previous Blink 182 albums, but this one is very good. Robert Smith is awesome. I liked this album and thought it is about time the band moved on, i like enema and dude ranch as they're fun albums but this album sounds much more experamental which is good. Definatly takes a few listens such is the case when bands change their sound, the same happened when Green Day released Warning- different but good. these forums crack me up. I think everyone who likes this cd is usually around 18-19, cause i started to like blink 182 in grade 9, and i've been liking them ever since, my taste in music has been evolving with every record they make. Ok after reading a fair few of the opinions and deciding my own, I am sort of split in my views about this album. Or it's simply inside the B. I found the H, open your eyes you jackass! For the love of the heavenly father below. It's fuck1ng music goddamnit. Leave all this punk shit alone for one moment of your lives. Who cares what the motives were. Robert Smith is talented and automatically gives Blink some cred with a band that were at the forefront of a scene that shaped what emo is today. If the album is good, let it be good. Don't get into selling out and shit. I stick with my bands and Blink was there from the start. Mainstream can be just as good as stuff in the underground. If you don't think bands like The Clash and Sex Pistols weren't mainstream in the UK you're a fucking retard. Maturing? Give me a break, this is just Blink 182 trying to jump on the emo bandwagon. They should have stuck to "pop-punk" I will say again after listening to this CD for a week that it is good. I didn't totally like it at first but after 3 days the whole CD grew on me and I didn't have to skip around. For those of you that say this CD sucks and that Blink has sold out I would like to ask you this, Have you heard any other song besides "feeling this" from this CD? Because that, I would say, is the weakest song on the CD. Pick it up and listen to it. I know some of you will still hate it cuz its not cool to like Blink. If you think about it those people are the ones that are the posers. Not the so-called pop punkers. Listen to what suits YOU! dear person from montreal, get ur head out of ur ass and fuc*kin admit that u love blink 182 and about all of these dam bands on this stupid page wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the band that u are criticizing because u just dont wanna admit that you love blink 182 along with all the other gay people in the world because by changing the way they did for this album, they aren't selling out, they're making their shit less marketable. "ooh, maybe if we put the cure in our linear notes, well get in good with the scene kids, who were all punk kids last year. you think, tom?" Ok put Blink aside. heheh, aren't we redundant... "2) Punk IS alive. Straight up, i'm gonna say that travis is a fucking kikass drummer and i hold him in very high regard as a musical powerhouse. Anyways, seeing as how all of u people are on here either to defend your punk cred, plug ur fave band, or just be an asshole, i figure'd i'd follow suit. It is in my opinion that PUNK IS DEAD! it has degenerated into a sorry nostalgia act for the socially accepted, pseudo-rebellious, credit card packing children of todays united states of america. I believe that "punk" (and i am aware of the taboo-osity of putting quotaiton marks around that word) yes, "punk" quite simply means thinking for urself, questioning authority and acceptance and tolerance for all walks of life. Why are we persecuting these casualtys of common american greed, all of you people are no better than they are coming on here. I come to this site to read up on bands i like, yeah, i liked blink in grade 8, i listened to them and greenday and the offspring and that kinda stuff, but i never called them "punk" bands. I really only identified with it when i started listening to bad religion. Damn, i'm rambling, oh well, this album is okay for pop-punk, kinda pretentious, kinda repetative, but at least it's not the same as the last album. Anyways, let's stop the hatin'! and start lovin' one another! If the whatever "punks" left in this world fight and bicker amoungst themselves then it's the enemy (whoever that is) that wins... travis still kiks I had a strange dream about Lars Frederiksen last night. Yeah. I hate pop punkers. Fucking pussy fags. I have to hand it to the three guys that got me into the music I will listen to for life. ...so many people care more about the politics of a band, as opposed to the actual talent they possess. douches... Props to the guy two posts below me. By The Way Great Review. Hahaha...Just sad. honestly if this was a band's debut i would think its a damn fine pop-punk debut, certainly better than that Starting Line shit. This isnt punk, its pop, and most people are saying its good just simply by comparing it to there older material. If this was a new bands debut, damn would this be generic as shit. but since its head and shoulders above there other "music" you all think its great. Fuck this. Listen to Justin Timberlake instead, hes got better lyrics, and is cuter. "Yes. The latest issue of Kerrang with Blink on the cover. Apparently, Mark was really upset about not being included in Box Car. He talks a lot of shit on Tom and all Tom says is that there will never be another Box Car album. "what are u talking about? of course blink did. thats why like 90% of their songs use the word punk and are about their wives and girlfriends, not to mention they use the same fucking 4 chords in every song. and u wanna talk about selling your image? the people in blink have their own fucking clothing lines. "be punk! dress like us!" rancid sings songs about punk topics like politics, sticking up for yourself, unity, etc. rancid doesn't have to pretend to be punk cus they are. blink really never changed their sound, true, but they've been all about image the whole fucking time, and they've always sucked." I can't help but wonder if the moron calling Blink clowns intentionally signed his post as "NFGrawker," or if he truly is that stupid. "Is there some documentation of this? Just curious if there was some Blink "drama" and I missed it?" "anybody that listens to this CD is fucking annoying and is an asshole. these are the simple facts, live with them, fucklers." "Mark caved in after months (most likely)" "anybody that listens to this CD is fucking annoying and is an asshole. these are the simple facts, live with them, fucklers." "Also, TRUE Punk Is Dead." anybody that listens to this CD is fucking annoying and is an asshole. these are the simple facts, live with them, fucklers. I'm am seriously pissed off from this shit! Mark caved in after months (most likely) of pursuasion to jump on to the "emo-fucker" bandwagon that all the kids are so fond of. Fuck him, fuck them,... FUCK THAT!!! Also, TRUE Punk Is Dead. The CD isn't completely terrible but I think they tried too hard to make it different and it just ended up sounding like a Box Car Racer CD. Listen to track 12 with the lead singer from The Cure. Best song on the CD. i haven't heard this cd so i wont give it bad score for that but to say blink is more punk than rancid is refuckingtarded so this score is for that comment i can think of 10 bands (that many of you listen to) off the top of my head that blink 182 is way fucking cooler than: Blink 182's management has confirmed that there is actually no H on the cover, no matter how hard you look. "I FOUND THE H!!! For those of you looking for it on the cover of this album, it's inside the B in Blink. Me 1, World 0." i feel like some kid named dominic wrote that weird comment a few down from here. I FOUND THE H!!! For those of you looking for it on the cover of this album, it's inside the B in Blink. Me 1, World 0. fuck this shit, enema was a good album. Scott Raynor kinda sucked. Can anyone decipher whatver the hell the idiot below me is trying to say? Its like surfer-gone-deep jibberish. I think this albums is just what we needed from Blink 182. "Kinda reminds me of when F2F released Ingorance is Bliss. Good stand alone album, but doesn't flow well with the rest of F2F's albums (IMO)." as my only statement about this: they will never top the song cacophony. ever. Let's just get one thing straight... Lizzie McGuire is fucking awesome. Totally great stuff there. Wow, i't just a fuckin album. Why is everyone getting so ippidy over this? The Fallen Interlude was produced by Sick Jacken. Neither Shadow or Dan the Automator ended up working with Blink, they were just ideas that never worked out. The UK b-side (Not Now) was produced by Jerry Finn like the rest of the songs. Tom Delonge has commented on Bush on several occasions. This is not quite Bush, but all I could dig up on the spot: Tom --> "It's an absolute joke; his fiscal policy is laughable and his politics more than dubious. It just goes to show how stupid everyone in California is. People are voting for him because he's famous; it's that simple. I think Tom McClintock is the man - he seems to know more about what he's doing than anyone else. I'd vote for him and I'd vote for Hilary Clinton if she ever ran for president. I'd vote for her in a second." i'd like to see blink talk about why george bush sucks, but i bet they got too big of tax returns to realize whats fucking wrong with our government... "by Dan The Automator you're probably thinking of DJ Shadow. and no, he didn't do the Fallen Interlude, he's producing a track that's only going to be on the UK release." Hey I like this album.. for what it is. But if I had never heard anything by Blink in my life and you played me this album and ..oh.. say, Dude Ranch or hell, even Enema and told me they were the same band, I would tell you that you are full of shit. "Is "The Fallen Interlude" the track that Dan the Automator produced? Does anyone in Blink 182 actually contribute to it musically? Can someone who bought the CD tell me? THANKS!" Fuck Reggie and fuck Blink. Fuck the Get Up Kids. That should solve your woes. to the freakin retard below me. i can bet you almost nobody here likes good charlotte, simple shit i mean plan, or new found glory. i hate drive-thru records. but if you're going to insult it, at least get it right. its drive-THRU, not drive-in. i love blink. but there is no way in hell they are better than rancid, brand new , taking back sunday, reggie and the full effect (saying this band was freakin blaspemy, considering reggie is from the fucking GET UP KIDS) or coheed and cambria. as for h2o, who cares? you act like there all sorts of talk about how awesome they are. i couldnt tell you how the people on the site feel about them one way or the other. hm... "Blink always sucked. Even when they were a derivative pop band that hadn't sold out..." i can think of 10 bands (that many of you listen to) off the top of my head that blink 182 is way fucking cooler than: indeed i think the only thing left for the world to look forward to is a blink 182/michael jackson co-headlining tour. "Good review, MAYBE I'll give it a chance...okay, I have to since I'm posting, right? Oh, dude, keep that card, yr pick is so tasty, don't toss a gem like dat! Hey, anyone notice that Tom finally put some attitude in his voice? 'Bout time something in this band can match Travis' hands. Aight, that's that. Latr." It's not bad ...it was about time that the others in the band could match up with the talent of the drummer before he got away to find better and serious musicians!! "i liked this album, i really did....then i realized i wasnt some stupid, TRL watching, trendy ass 13 year old girl" Good review, MAYBE I'll give it a chance...okay, I have to since I'm posting, right? Oh, dude, keep that card, yr pick is so tasty, don't toss a gem like dat! Hey, anyone notice that Tom finally put some attitude in his voice? 'Bout time something in this band can match Travis' hands. Aight, that's that. Latr. Why am I sitting here looking at a Drive-Thru Records banner on Punknews.org? Someone might want to check the temperature down in hell... Final Fantasy X-2 look awsome man, how could you say its lame? ah dude the demo rocks. :( sad. Oh well. "i liked this album, i really did....then i realized i wasnt some stupid, TRL watching, trendy ass 13 year old girl. Blink 182 pisses me off, they confuse people about punk, kids think this is punk, and it really warps their littel minds, because they are left with the totally wrong impression." sory for the stupid typo. I know, it should be "their," not "there." I have only heard "feeling this," so far, but it already looks like this will be a very very very significant imrpovement over there previous works. Blink always sucked. Even when they were a derivative pop band that hadn't sold out... How did Michael Jackson get into trouble? 'not now' is the best song on the album. too bad its only on the uk version... tom shines as a musician in it. by Dan The Automator you're probably thinking of DJ Shadow. and no, he didn't do the Fallen Interlude, he's producing a track that's only going to be on the UK release. i liked this album, i really did....then i realized i wasnt some stupid, TRL watching, trendy ass 13 year old girl. Blink 182 pisses me off, they confuse people about punk, kids think this is punk, and it really warps their littel minds, because they are left with the totally wrong impression. wtf? logarithms?!!! AHHHH high school memories!!!! Yet again, Blink seems to be the most popular review. They still rock. Is "The Fallen Interlude" the track that Dan the Automator produced? Does anyone in Blink 182 actually contribute to it musically? Can someone who bought the CD tell me? THANKS! if i had my calc book with me, i would give you all a good triple integral to solve. perhaps when i get home... stay tuned. My god...so many fucking comments... |
