Normally I wouldn't post reviews but after listening to the new album I just felt like speaking about it. Most people have known Blink 182 since they busted out on the scene back with Enema of the State. To others like me they will always be just "another Poway punk band". Over the course of their albums they've always had the happy pop sound until this album. I always thought that Box Car Racer was done in order to separate the positive sounding Blink from the catharthic and negative release vibe of BCR. This new album from Blink is really more emotional and serious than previous albums. It contains more darker themes and even dips into political expressions against the war. As I was listening I detected hints of The Ataris and Dashboard.
This new album is Blink 182 but it shows a maturation within the group. Other than their single Feeling This, I wouldn't pick this album up as one of those feel good albums like their previous albums.

Blink 182 review
Formerly known as [UCI]-Mike
i used to like them, then my tastes changed (meaning i like better music now ) and i really cant listen to them anymore.
i have seen the new video tho, and it's really different than their super old chesire cat and the buddha albums. and even alot different than the enema of the state cd.
i dont know where i'm going with this...but...... listen to ska!!!
