If the title Enema of the State didn't give it away, it should be clear from songs like "Dumpweed," "What's My Age Again?," and "Dysentery Gary" that moving to a major label isn't a sign of maturity for blink-182. "Dammit (Growing Up)," the first single from their third album, Dude Ranch, brought them a wider audience and the attention of major ...
Power punk funny guys blink-182 capture their witty stage presence on the limited-edition release The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back). Celebrating the quick success of their major-label debut, 1999's Enema of the State, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show showcases playful live cuts and previously unreleased tracks and, in keeping ...
There comes a time in every punk's life where he or she has to grow up, or at least acknowledge that maturity is just around the corner. blink-182 put it off for as long as they could, but ten years into their career and two albums after their big breakthrough, 1999's Enema of the State, they decided to make a stab at being grown-ups for their ...
Not too much has changed since we last left blink-182. You might hear the same snap, crackle, and pop that the trio has prided themselves on for almost ten years. There's even the continual cabbage-patch screech of Tom Delonge and support for rampant teen angst. But five albums later, these San Diego natives grab their rosy-cheek punkadelics and ...
First rule of greatest-hits albums: start things off with a bang, not a song that takes about a minute to get off the ground, and about 80 seconds before the vocals kick in. "Carousel" may be a chronologically accurate way to begin blink-182's Greatest Hits, yet it gets things off to a slow start -- but then again, blink-182 hardly sped out of the ...
On their third album, Dude Ranch, blink-182 follow in the same path as their first two, turning out 15 tracks of juvenile, adrenaline-fueled punk-pop. Some listeners will find their potty humor ("Dick Lips") somewhat irritating, but the group has written some surprisingly catchy hooks, which might win over skeptics. The songwriting is still a ...
Back in 1998, Vagrant Records was just getting going and lacked a distinct sound. So to promote the young label, it gathered its bands -- punkers Face to Face, Gotohells, and Boxer -- debuted a band it would end up signing -- emo rockers No Motiv -- and grabbed some covers from blink-182 and MxPx to gain some notoriety. Throw in previously ...
Not that this hasn't been done before on albums like Wood Panel Pacer Wagon With Mags and Bllllaaarrrrrggghhh!-A Music War (which was on a 7" format no less), but that doesn't mean a compilation featuring over 100 bands on one record never fails to entertain. And the advantage Short Music for Short People has in comparison to the aforementioned ...

Solution to Benefit Heal the Bay is a double-disc compilation ranging from latter-day punk and third-wave ska to hip-hop, electronica, and club music, all in the service of the Heal the Bay Foundation, an environmental organization dedicated to cleaning up coastal waters. Fifteen of the 27 tracks are previously unreleased, including material from ...
Now That's What I Call Music!, Vol. 3 continues to prove that Universal/EMI's long-standing British series of Top 40 hits compilations (of which this particular volume is not a part) can be just as successful in America. There isn't anything tying these singles together musically, except for the fact that they were hits, but all in all, it makes ...

Blink-182's first full-length album, Buddha, may be a little generic, but it's nevertheless a solid skatepunk record that illustrates the group's flair for speedy, catchy hooks and irreverent humor. There are a few weak cuts, but on the whole, it's a promising debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
As befits a combination teen comedy/horror flick that climaxes at a high school dance, Idle Hands' soundtrack features songs from over-the-top adolescent favorites including Rob Zombie and the Offspring, the latter making a cameo appearance in the movie itself. ~ Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide

Here comes the fourth volume of this widely popular televised compilation. Now, Vol. 4 includes tracks from 1999's chart toppers, such as the Backstreet Boys, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, Eiffel 65, Mandy Moore, Britney Spears, Savage Garden, and more. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
The U.K.'s Now series features timely selections of pop hits and provides a convenient way for casual pop fans to stay on top of the most popular singles. The sets are almost always naturally well-rounded, encompassing dance music, R&B, hip-hop, teen pop, and rock. And though they might expire, in a sense, since they're based on trends in pop ...
A Compilation of Warped Music II collects 23 tracks by bands who have at one time or another appeared on the annual Warped package tour, concentrating mostly on punk revival and hardcore bands with a smattering of third-wave ska as well. Rare and previously unreleased material is present from MxPx, Less Than Jake, Riverfenix, the Aquabats, and ...
There are plenty of various-artist compilations targeted at the skateboard/extreme-sports crowd (or, at least, marketing departments' ideas of that demographic); most of them feature some combination of alternative metal, latter-day punk-pop, and third-wave ska, sometimes with a little hardcore hip-hop thrown in. Like its contemporaries, Gravity ...
