Advantages: Songs are live and there are some comic changes that have been made.

Disadvantages: Audio quality has suffered slightly and jokes may be controversial.

The Mark, Tom and Travis Show produced by Blink 182 really is an excellent CD. It is the only official live album that Blink 182 have actually produced and it was originally released in November, 2000. I bought this copy originally in HMV for £10 but it was quite hard to get due to popularity, you can now buy this CD from Amazon from £5 which is an excellent price for an album of this calibre.

What I really loved about this CD is how it contained music from "Dude Ranch", "Cheshire Cat" and "Enema of the state". This meant I found that the selection within the album was very good and I felt it offered some variety. I really liked how there were many hits included in this album that really do sound great live such as "Dumpweed", "All the small things" and "Dammit" amongst many others.

The sound quality considering it is a live album is not as good as an ordinary album however, it is good enough. The music is as exciting as ever and I love the way in which live albums slightly vary with the original song adding overall interest to the music. There really is a great selection available to choose from with 20 tracks available to choose from and an overall playing time of over 71 minutes.

I felt that there were some excellent 'Extra features' in the album, for example there are some hidden tracks available after track 20 that are mainly very funny jokes. It helps to show their personality though the album and I felt it is done really well. I also liked how their were changes to some of the songs such as instead of "What's my age again?" its "Where's my asian friend?". It reached the number 200 spot i the billboard chart proving its overall popularity. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading!

Summary: This really is a superb CD with some great entertainment value!
