blink-182

Blink182 at their finest!

Amazon, Here's Your Letter.. It's Obvious that any Blink fan would love this record. I mean... I've Always wanted this on vinyl. I said to myself just Go ahead and buy it. I guess I was in the position that I was just an Easy Target. My bank account wasn't happy with me spending the money but there was no Violence involved! The moment I put on the record I felt a sudden feeling of Asthenia! I was caught in the moment with feelings of Stockholm Syndrome towards the album. "Pick me up I'm falling" I heard, The Fallen Interlude was coming to an end. I decided to indulge in the cover and look over the artwork I was really Feeling This. Then I noticed there was no Not Now... All of This was too much to handle, I loved that song. I'm Lost Without You I said to myself I started to feel really Down about the situation. I just want you to know that I Miss You every time I listen to the vinyl. It's not the same. I hope I won't forget you.

a good album

The album when Blink matured. For some this is Blinks finest hour. Some fans were dismayed with the departure from the daft joy of the first 4 albums but every band reaches that point when they mature. This is less punk than the earlier albums but it's still Blink 182 and it's a thoroughly good album.

Arrived when expected, exactly as described and in pristine condition

Wasn’t a fan of Dude Ranch or TOYPAJ, yeah burn me at a stake whatever but I feel like this is their magnum opus of the 21st century, of course Enema is better but you have to give this credit, this album holds their biggest hit of said century “I miss you” and the very awkward song about sex “feeling this”, suprised they even got Robert smith on for “All Of This” considering who in the absolute hell would just ring up Robert Smith and say “hey bro wanna work with Blink 182”?????? he’s also one of my musical idols so yeah that was very cool

BLINK 182 were formed in 1992 and are from a small suburb of San Diego, California. They consist of MARK hOPPUS, tRAVIS bARKER AND tOM dE lONGE. This album is their fifth to be released, only one has been made after it. The artwork is similar to Nirvana's smiley face, my favourite song is Miss You. Fun fact: Blink 182 were called Blink, but the Irish band Blink refused them rights so they became Blink 182.

One of my favourite albums from my favourite band! Bought it for my partner and although we have 10000 copies of the album we still listen every day on Vinyl! Can't get enough of it. I did have to wait over a month for it to arrive so I missed his birthday, but it came a week earlier then it said it would and we both agree it was worth the month long wait.

So sick on the record player with my surround sound

Für das Selftitled an sich vergebe ich eh 5 Sterne, weil das Album eine schöne Weiterentwicklung zum Erwachsensein dargestellt hat damals. Diese spezielle Tour Version ist natürlich sehr teuer und somit sollten da nur Sammler wie ich zuschlagen. Ist das gleiche Album, bloß mit ein paar Extras versehen, wie Videos oder Bonus Track. Das Album an sich war das letzte vor einer langen Pause und kombinierte den typischen blink Sound mit vielen neuen und auch manchmal nicht so gut ankommenden Elementen. I Miss You zb polarisierte sehr stark als blink untypische Ballade, wohin gegen Go oder Feeling This richtig klassischer Punkrock waren. Für mich 5 Sterne.

This album takes off like a jet and never stops being brilliant until the record is over. Five songs in, it is already a stunning success. San Diego is playing out of your speakers wherever you find yourself, and the crisp rock sound found here is timeless. As some fine reviews have pointed out, “Blink-182” is a rock record, unapologetically, highlighting Travis Barker’s astonishingly talented drum skills, the presence of heavy bass, and some of the coolest riffs I have heard. “Down” might be one of the most perfect pop/rock songs ever played on radio—the song is basically flawless—and encapsulates the height of this band’s creativity and inventiveness. There is no longer a need for puerile vulgarity on an album like this, the music speaks for itself. Also, lyrically there are some quite profound themes on this record: the heartache of a partner’s infidelity and breakups (“Obvious”), the forlorn state of loss (“I Miss You”), the constant presence of insatiable male lust in society (“Violence”), the sadness of divorce (“Go”), and the trials and embarrassments that men go through to impress attractive women (“Easy Target”). In addition, “Always” is the most gorgeous song, with synthesizers and melodies taking you back to the ‘80s and early ‘90s, back when you listened to The Cure and Depeche Mode, and bought food from food courts at the mall with cash and went to the movie theatre without a smart phone: “And your hands they shake with goodbyes / And I’ll take you back if you’d have me / So here I am / I’m trying / […] I’m so sick of fights / I hate them / Let’s start this again for real.” In many ways, “Always” is representative of the entire album, as there is a longing to reunite and reconcile, but also the acknowledgement that it probably won’t occur. You hear this longing as well in “Go,” with Mark Hoppus reflecting on his early childhood: “Are we all victims of opportunity / Locked outside the door back in ’83 / I heard the angry voice of a man inside / And saw the look of fear in my mother’s eyes.” Yes, this album is like a long letter written to an ex-girlfriend or divorced parents, explaining the pain of broken relationships and the longing to love again and forgive. It’s no mistake that this record ends with a song entitled, “I’m Lost Without You.” In the super postmodern era of today’s society that often seems to rob your human spirit, it’s refreshing to hear an authentic record, instead of more garbage that does not delineate real life. We’re not zombies, we’re people, and this is why people related and continue to relate with this record. At its core, “Blink-182” is a human record, a rock and roll album with soul that causes you to reflect on the vicissitudes and capricious nature of relationships. It’s really one of those go-to albums that take you back to high school or college, because you see yourself reflected in the music and relate to it. And that is why we love music! This album is a triumphant achievement, and should go down as one of the most important albums of the post-9-11 Bush era in American culture. Whether they knew it or not, Blink-182 created something special here. And I bet they knew they were. Get ready for action.

Parfait merci beaucoup

Este álbum es, sin duda, uno de los mejores trabajos de Blink-182. Blink-182 (Untitled) muestra una evolución clara en el sonido de la banda, combinando la energía del pop-punk con un enfoque más maduro y emocional. Desde la primera canción, “Feeling This”, el disco engancha con su energía y su gran producción. A lo largo del álbum hay una mezcla perfecta de canciones intensas y momentos más melancólicos, como “I Miss You”, que demuestra la capacidad de la banda para crear algo diferente sin perder su esencia. La producción es excelente y cada instrumento se siente muy bien trabajado. La batería de Travis Barker destaca especialmente, aportando mucha fuerza y creatividad a cada canción. Además, las letras son más profundas que en discos anteriores, lo que le da al álbum una personalidad única. En conjunto, es un álbum muy completo, con canciones memorables y un sonido que sigue siendo fresco incluso años después. Perfecto tanto para fans de Blink-182 como para quienes quieren descubrir uno de los discos más importantes del pop-punk de los 2000.
