One of my friends is going to the Angels and Airwaves show this weekend in Chicago - so I figured why not review the group that got them started, Blink 182. I wasn't a huge fan of these guys when I was younger. I did listen to this album quite a bit - but that's mainly because you couldn't 10 minutes without hearing Carson Daly talk about it on TRL. I think these guys brought a style to music that no one had really seen yet. They have that poppy, emo, punk sound all combined into one. This album is also unique because it's one of the few records by bands like this that contains real thought out lyrics. Yeah, some of the tracks are just poppy nonsense, but my favorite track has substance as well as a couple others. Sounds like they're going to make another record sometime soon - for the first time since 2003. I'll be curious to listen to it and see if their style has changed since all the crazy things that have happened. I'll get to A&A sometime too...I've never heard anything by them before. Until then, Blink will have to do. Kick your feet up and get some Enema today!
