Enema Of The State - blink-182

Blink 182 were a Californian Pop Punk band active between the years of 1992 and 2005. After the band went on their 'indefinite hiatus' early in 2005, Tom DeLonge formed his own Angels and Airwaves band and the other two members that made up the trio that was Blink 182 went on to form the band +44. Whilst Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker continued to focus on Pop Punk with their new band +44, Tom DeLonge went down a whole different route with Angels and Airwaves; a band of the alternative rock genre. During their 13 years Blink 182 released five studio albums and a live album also, with a 'Greatest Hits' album following on from the announcement of their hiatus some nine ...  Read the complete review

People,slate this album all the time for being commercialised. And yes it is-but it is still a good album. IT is NOT the best album they have done but it is still good. I have been a fan of Blink 182 for absolutely ages and when this CD came out,I wasn't dissapointed but only dissapointed in the fact that, tehre were so many posers and teeny boppers, trying to 'get in' on the punk scene. This CD has good songs and bad songs, like many albums and although it is so commercialised now, I still like this album and will not purposely like them, just because, they are more famous. i have liked them for ages and intend to stay a fan, as along as they give out ...  Read the complete review

Enema of the state is a fantastic album by the band Blink 182 that I absolutely love. Blink 182 are an American punk rock band from California and Enema of the state is their second album. It was originally released in June 1999 and really did have a major appeal to many people. It has now sold over 15 million copies worldwide proving its popularity. Enema of the state has 12 absolutely brilliant tracks and I will be honest and say that I actually love every single one! The album features the major hits "All the small things", "What's my age again" and "Adams song". I found all of the tracks to be of a very high quality and ...  Read the complete review

Wonderfully catchy, immature and fun pop-punk. Blink 182 really only write songs about one thing - but they do it well. There's an injection of humour into their work that shows they don't quite take themselves too seriously - which is good because some of their lyrics really are rather silly (see "Aliens Exist" as reference!) This album opens with a super charged ride that just explodes out of your speakers. "Dumpweed" is one of my favourites from the album. Tom DeLonge may have a bit of a whiney voice at times, but he's written some decent melodies and a great guitar hook. Travis Barker's drumming is absolutely excellent - musical, ...  Read the complete review

Ok, here's the deal. This is my first opinion for a while now so please ecxcuse me if I'm a little bit rusty. Ok, the basics are that Blink182 (pronounced Blink one-eighty-two) are a trio of late 20's/early 30's fully grown men who dress like 17 year olds. They are classed as a modern punk band by most although I think the increasingly popular term 'brat punk' would be more accurate. Blink are not the kind of band that take anything too seriously. I'd say they try to market themselves to people between the ages of 13-17 and most of their songs on this album(and the other 2 albums I own by them) are about high school ...  Read the complete review
