Album Notes This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Blink 182: Tom DeLonge (vocals, guitar); Mark Hoppus (vocals, bass); Travis Barker (drums). Additional personnel: Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (keyboards). This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Blink 182: Tom DeLonge (vocals, guitar); Mark Hoppus (bass guitar); Travis Barker (drums). Blink 182 embodies all the rock & roll verities, from savage, power chord-driven, guitar-bass-and-drums attack to a carefully cultivated tastelessness (see album title and cover art), bolstered by plenty of attitude (the abundance of tattoos doesn't hurt either). The band's post-Green Day pop-punk leaps out of the speakers with zero subtlety and maximum aggression. Guitars alternately blaze and chug over breakneck rhythms, while the vocal melodies pay homage to the time-honored pop hook tradition. Despite the band's four-on-the-floor approach, the arrangements are regulated by careful, radio-minded production for a more accessible sound.
Editorial Reviews 3 stars (out of 5) - ...gnarly enough to forment the kind of anti-everything rebellion that spawned rock & roll way back in the day....more power to 'em. Rolling Stone
...a geeky, three-chord rocker that employs a locker room sense of humor....While Blink 182 does slow down punk's pace, making it accessible to the pop-happy masses, this small concession hardly dilutes the band's potency. CMJ (05/31/1999)
3 stars out of 5 - ...bright, three-minute pop tunes with adolescent vigor...More fun than Crass, at least. Q (10/01/1999)
