It’s pretty common knowledge by now, but in case you haven’t heard, Blink-182 is over and done with. While covering themselves with the ‘never say never attitude’ and just calling it an ‘indefinite hiatus,’ it seems clear that Blink is now in the graveyard of punk acts of the past.

BLINK IS THE BEST BAND EVER! Far from their greatest hits!

Blink 182 rock!!! I think that all the saine, normal people out there in the world will agree that Blink 182 is no push over band only in it to make more money. Everyone has made it clear that they are the best band in the world and i am not one to disagree. They are absolutely amazing! Critics like to exaggerate things that arent perfect and as for the fact that there are no songs on the Greatest Hits album from 'Buddha', well thats obviously for a reason. They have chosen to put the most played, highest selling songs on the album and it makes sense. OMG! i love those guys. 10/10 The best albums ever and all you loser who dont think it isnt coll you can go fuck off cause this is THE best CD ANYONE can ever get!!!!!!!!! Blink is THE best band ever Wenu yo soy de chile pero apesar ke no sea de estados unidos ,igual eskucho su musik y es lo mas bkn ke e escuchado en mi vida tan corta de 11aÑos y ojala ke sigan asi ke saken mas cd y ke vengan a tocar acÁ a chile por fa Wenu yo soy de chile pero apesar ke no sea de estados unidos ,igual eskucho su musik y es lo mas bkn ke e escuchado en mi vida tan corta de 11aÑos y ojala ke sigan asi ke saken mas cd y ke vengan a tocar acÁ a chile por fa PEOPLE SUCK OK...this is an alright album...ok so it's not their best but who gives a shit? its still some of thier best stuff put together...and i'll admit that im not in love with not now or another girl another planet (too pop-y for me) THEY WERE AND STILL ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD...in my opion....stop freaking dissing blink ok...if you dont like them...go you...but dont ruin it for other people you stupid morons...blink 182 rocks....as do thier songs...and for all those boxcar racer fans ...THEY WILL NEVER, NEVER BE AS GOOD AS BLINK 182... for those stupid moronic people who deciede to dissect every song and complain that they're not punk they're pop or whatever who cares...i dont go oh this is punk so I must like it! i just listen to the songs and deciede whether i like them that way...rathan than listen to stupid labels... BLINK 182 rock!! I LOVE THEM.... :D i almost have all they're songs awesome album. cant knock it. Blink-182 - Greatest Hits This is the best CD I have ever heard. blink kikes ass and thay sholdint break up thegeezer who said that blink areimmature and all that is a total wanker id love to smash his head in fucking prick he dont know what hes on about tell him if he donr like he can fuck off and buy something from the pop or cassic section " This review was pretty good, but here's how I would make it better: Blink 182 is the best band ever! we all no it. and 30 ft fall sucks. This is about Blink 182 and there greatness. They will be missed very much so how about while Blink 182 is on there brake we all focus on other great bands such as mest and alkaline trion. Love Blink 182 forever! Blink 182 are the best band eva and tom delonge iz the sexiest man in the world!!! blink 182 rock and will be missed by many people!!!! this album is one of there best this album is wicked, it shows how awsome blink are. some people are too critical. honestly if anyone thinks this greatest hits album is stupid, u honestly arent a blink fan so why bother writing on this site! all of these songs are my favourite. congrats this guy is a dafty they were box car racers This review was pretty good, but here's how I would make it better: what are you on about!??!, this albums a good one i think its good to have a greatest hits album out that shows their accomplishments! theres a lot of bands out there that broke up and made a greatest hits cd! Blink 182 will always live strong in my book! heck yeah! And PS... anyone who says there's not a single Blink song they like is a liar. As diverse and catchy as their music has been, something over the last decade has to have caught your ear. .... so obviously dcforc is the densist person on the planet since superdude couldn't possibly have been serious with the Box Car Racer comment. "...they write immature shit about dicks and farts and poopy! How dumb! Why can't they be more like the Descendents or the Circle Jerks?" i dont have this cd yet but im sure it is alright. how can some of you say that the choice of songs are shit. if you are a blink fan you would like them all you're all idiots for the following reasons: it's a greatest hits cd, not a "fan picks" cd. i don't think there were any hit songs from buddah, so why would they include any of them on the cd? Blink was better when they were writing songs about dicks and farts on Buddha, Cheshire Cat, and Dude Ranch. Then they got stupid and started writing dick and fart songs on Enema of the State, Take Off..., and the Self-titled disc. What a tragic metamorphosis. Just look at the track list! Remember all the dick and fart references in "Stay Together for the Kids", "I Miss You", "All the Small Things" and "Rock Show"? Horrible. Blink182 are so gay for writing punk songs about girls! The Ramones would never do that! And then they write immature shit about dicks and farts and poopy! How dumb! Why can't they be more like the Descendents or the Circle Jerks? What a shit factory this band was! This album is such bullcrap!!!! Why couldn't they record all new songs for their Greatest Hits album instead of releasing an album with all their biggest hits on it? How stupid is that?! This is like Nirvana's greatest hits all over again! One new song and then the rest of the album is just full of their best-known songs that saturated the airwaves and would therefore be the songs history would remember them by! What a shitty idea for compiling a greatest hits album! Wow, what a horrible selection regardless of the band. Yeah, there was a book. Anthony Swofford is a real guy who was a sniper in Desert Storm. He wrote a memoir. It was excellent. Hollywood optioned off the story rights and made a mediocre movie out of it. Swofford can be found these days doing visiting professor stints around the country. If you ever get a chance to see him speak, read an interview, or take a class, he's very articulate, bright, and down-to-earth. i'm too busy listening to the sound of a large goose honking in the depths of hell to give a fuck about this record 30 ft Fall isn't still around are they??? Longar Longar The only thing this band's done that's solid enough to be worth getting is Dude Ranch. This collection, like the rest of their other albums is middling as hell with more annoying than good. i thought that the movie was kind of bland. Welcome to the suck. i'm too busy listening to my blink albums to give a fuck about this record. I'm too busy listening to the 30 Foot Fall CD that arrived today to give a fuck about this record. "I was in the Virgin Megastore in Chicago on Saturday. For some reason in the W section there was a placard that started with an S. It said Sellout and the only cd infront of it was this one. No joke. I even have a picture." inherent to a "greatest hits" album is the notion that the songs included were "hits." that means radio play, videos, etc. They left off WAY TOO MUCH from Chesire Cat and other songs: why isn't this called why isn't this called so true about the hilary duff album. it's really fucking good. and surprisingly unconventional. The Usual Suspects is clever, but once it unfolds, it's all rather understandable. buddah fucking blew you retard. I can't wait for the Veronica Mars season two DVD to come out, this summer. I still don't get it. Kaiser Soze had Keaton's lawyer girlfriend killed anyways? Why? I really don't get that part. Once again where is the song from short music for short people? This album was probably a sick ploy by geffen to milk a band out of as much milk as it could salvage. And that guy roflc responding to superdude was fucking hilarious. I don't know if he was being funny or not but that was the hardest I've ever laughed at anything on this site. I was in the Virgin Megastore in Chicago on Saturday. For some reason in the W section there was a placard that started with an S. It said Sellout and the only cd infront of it was this one. No joke. I even have a picture. bsides would be nice so those of us that didn't want to buy 3 fucking versions of the jacket album could get those random tracks. plus, what else? i won't be home for christmas. dancing with myself... fuck i can't think of a ton of blink bsides that are noteworthy. haven't listened to them in long enough. blink covered the descendents live during their tour to support TOYPAJ..i remeber me,and like 10 other people were the only ones who knew the song I really wish they had put more of their old school sound on this cd but overall it's great cuz it's blink and i can't wait till Angels And Airwaves! :) They could of out more songs on it I made my own list a while ago of what should be on it which was about 40 somethin songs so it kinda dissappointed me but toherwise it's great cuz it's BLink and i love them :) Fuck the haters, I still listen to "Dude Ranch" all of the time. this album is exactly as expected. the track listing makes perfect sense. blink182 are a POP BAND kids. plain and simple. this record showcases their "singles". and that's that. As I read dcforc's attack on superdude below, I said a silent prayer: "Please God - don't let dcforc be kidding. Please let him actually be this oblivious to such obvious sarcasm. If you do this, I will build several churches in your honor." Welcome to the suck. "a bloody tampon floating in the toilet is more entertaining than this vending machine of a band. a bloody tampon floating in the toilet is more entertaining than this vending machine of a band. Now that that dude mentions it, a b-sides album actually would be good. they actually put carousel on it? i didnt know that it was in the track list. To the person that posted the list of Blink 182's covers, I'm sorry, but isn't it a cardinal sin to use basically the same artwork as one of your albums on your "greatest hits." this band fucking sucks. best part of this review/page a greatest hits album released just to make money? living in the basement of your mother's house waiting for her to make you a pb&j sandwich I find it hilarious that people take time out of their busy elitist life (living in the basement of your mother's house waiting for her to make you a pb&j sandwich) to read each and every post about a band they claim to "hate". And then, what's more, they come up with super clever comments on how badly said band sucks. Seems like they're closet fans. That said, blink 182 is absolute garbage. Just kidding. Will always love 'em. No Skinhead Rob appearance? Well that's not punk! a blink b-sdies would be great: it should just be a package of blank cd-rs woo it's fucking incredible how some people can comment upon this garbage. it should just be a package of blank cd-rs "Paul, how could you say "Feelin' This" is the only song worth putting on here from S/T?!?! If anything "Stockholm Syndrome", "Go", "Violence", and "Obvious" should've been on here. Those tracks all stood out and are all extremely catchy. "Go" might be one of their best tracks they've done since Dude Ranch" If anything, this album seems like the most sensical "greatest hits album" I've ever seen. It's just the radio hits and it's entirely chronological, by album and even release date as singles. It's a document of how they were presented. Yeah, it's not the CD you would make if you had to make a mix showing them to someone in Sao Tome who had never heard of the band. But for better or worse, no one escaped the turn of the century in America without hearing many of these songs many times. To those who didn't see the sarcasm in the "OMG" comment - you're complete idiots. To dcforc - your "it's my first day at punknews" comment to superdude made me laugh the hardest I have in a while. at least most of their punk songs are on this Paul, how could you say "Feelin' This" is the only song worth putting on here from S/T?!?! If anything "Stockholm Syndrome", "Go", "Violence", and "Obvious" should've been on here. Those tracks all stood out and are all extremely catchy. "Go" might be one of their best tracks they've done since Dude Ranch. 1. Shitty review does anyone else think the cover of another girl, another planet is pretty decent (aside from having 3 guitar parts)? It's worth repeating. This is a GREATEST HITS album. Not a "tracks that have the punk elitist seal of approval" album. These are their biggest, not their best songs. - skaboom It's worth repeating. This is a GREATEST HITS album. Not a "tracks that have the punk elitist seal of approval" album. These are their biggest, not their best songs. The ones that had the widest appeal and were on radio and MTV the most. That is all implied in the title. Cheshire Cat didn't sell anything close to Enema of the State. Not that I personally like most of these songs, but you know what you're getting in a greatest hits album. Blink182 are my favourite band (let the shit talk begin) but sadly I agree with this review, its just blinks way to say to Geffen "hey we can make you more money seeing as thats all you care about" R.I.P Blink. You guys will not be forgotten even if this apparent Greatest Hits will be. fuck you for calling it another chance to make money. It was a way to fullfill a contract. "OMG!!! It's totally not like any one on this page DIDN'T get into punk from Blink!!! OMG!!" they should have just quit after Dude Ranch. " Blink-182 is an important band for a generation many of us are a part of. The first three punk albums I've ever cherished are predictable. Dookie, ...And Out Come The Wolves and Dude Ranch. I know I'm not alone" Chinatown, stop acting like you're too fucking cool for Blink 182. I don't know who you're really trying to impress. is this pointless? yes, but it technically IS all of their singles. The reviewer seems confused between a 'best of' and a 'greatest hits'. A 'best of' is usually more interesting and includes more than just the chart toppers. This is strictly a collection of all their radio releases. Are you retarded? they can't be Boxcar Racer rip offs because boxcar didn't come out until WELL after blink 182...and, get this...Tom Delonge MADE boxcar racer as a side project. i just guess that shows what you know about music. fucking moron. and i have another question...how is this album not real? it sure as hell seems real when you can hold it in your hand and put it in your cd player and listen to it. hmmm....i think it would be best if you didn't post anymore until you remembered to know what you're talking about and not seem like a retard. Although it is their 'Greatest Hits' album, there definately is no representation of their best songs. Exactly what Godfather said, where the fuck is pathetic, lemmings, enthused, and almost any song off of cheshire cat or buddha could have been put on this instead of whats my age again or all the small things, shitty greatest hits, dude ranch is still my all time favorite though. I actually like some songs off this but I'll give a bad rating because: Dude dcforc, calm down man, superdude does this for every review. I look at him as giving critiques, you know, helping people with their writing style. Hey chinatown, if nufan got you "into" punk, then i would say you are pretty hardcore, its people like you that really need to get the fuck over yourselves, nufan sucks shit...... Social d, the clash , the ramones, black flag, fugazi... Thats what got me into punk.... Fucker-oldpunker- i am only reviewing this for one reason, and its not really a review. i just wanted to say this... Where's my Faith Hill review?!?!?!?!?! I got into punk through No Use For A Name, bitch. OMG!!! It's totally not like any one on this page DIDN'T get into punk from Blink!!! OMG!! You know, it is possible for someone to just not like them. This review was pretty good, but here's how I would make it better: Not worth buying no matter how good or bad they may be. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........................crap........Sure, nowadays there is SO much garbage out there it's easy to forgive Blink.........but then again.......they still suck horribly. What's next a Hilary Duff review? Oh wait......I forgot....according to one of you random posters I'm not supposed to mess with "the Duff". Wow....what a random post......i need sleep lol While cheshire cat was brilliant and far and away blinks best, this i find good and alot of the punkerthanthou's on this site, who probably listen to blink behind closed doors will probably listen to this as well, get over yourselves people, like em or not, blink has had a great run and i personally find this a good way to go-oldpunker- William David obviously did not buy this album, and probably did not even bother to download it. Yes, this is clearly the work of the record label. It's a bit sad though, if the band members haven't the energy or passion to control the way their final release will represent their career. The word "career" is loose, but you know how I mean it. William David obviously did not buy this album, and probably did not even bother to download it. Also.... I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt on this and assume this is something the record company is shoving down their throat for some kind of contractual obligation, and not just greed from Blink. This CD is called, "Greatest Hits". Not "William_Davids favorite Blink songs." The fuck did you expect? i don't know how much people (or at least i) 'care' about this band. i feel exactly what you said, they're nothing amazing, but they have a few good to really good songs. their earlier stuff was at least rooted in real 'pop-punk' and was catchy as fuck. good shit when i was in HS. nostolgias a bitch. How can so many people on a punk site care about this band? They're average pop-punk chancers with the occasional decent track, no more, no less. i can't say i don't like a few songs on here, though there's absolutley no reason to ever buy this. like WIlliam_David said down there, throw on some goddamn songs for the older fans. where the fuck is 'Ben Wah Balls', 'Dumpweed', 'Apple Shampoo' and 'Tuchdown Boy' among others???? apparently new person below me: they pretend too be so fuckin hardcore, and theyre like SO not! i mean have you seen the video to whats my age again? its absolute bull. Thye make me wanna shut my eyes not bloody blink! and whats 182 all about? there's 1 song that i like wich is i miss you and dats not hevay or out bt its a kwl song at leest. Thats as far as it goes....bollocks Not the mentioned the album art work is so half assed. Most likely the last album of their time as a band, last cd and it's the same fucking cover as their last album only in black and white. Best cd ever! Reading the latest interview that you mentioned, I think they will definitely get back together at some point in the future. They were best friends. I'm sure they will forgive each other and what not eventually. For a band that brought pop-punk to the forefront again for a certain generation, this album is truly a let-down. Instead of leaving something that true Blink fans will be able to remember them by, it feels more like they wanted to make one last buck, while fulfilling a few contractual obligations. this is a singles collection above anything else. It would be nice though if they threw anthem pt2,dumpweed,zulu,and apple shampoo on here,but this was compiled by their label,hence all the radio singles. I disagree with the reviewer on the 2 "new "tracks. The only ones cover is well done, and incredibly catchy, and 'not now' is a great song that should have been on their last cd. I got this from loserkids.com,came with the dvd of all their videos, except m/m's..what's up with that? it has original stay together for the kids video though oooooooh, Aubin took executive power and deleted his double post. I see how things are going to start working around here. Someone looked through a list of singles and picked the corresponding songs to put on the release. My favourite album is probably Enema and it's not nearly as well-represented on this compilation as it ought to have been had this been a proper retrospective. would it have been so hard to put 'pathetic' on here Yeah, I am complaining about track listing, and I do think there is a point to it. Blink had an important career to the pop-punk scene. Why go out with this crap? Why not make it an anthology or something? Yes, the radio songs have to be on there, and it's understandable, but there are 80 minutes available on a CD. Pushing it even to 25 songs would have been nice. Throw in a few of the fan favorites that never made the radio or something. Complaining about the tracklisting isn't really valid here -- it covers the popular / radio songs from their albums. Did you really expect tracks from Buddha? C'mon now. Man, my Riot Fest reviews didn't go up. |
