There are a lot of good late 90s bands that hit a sweet spot with production and not over doing it. This, third eye blind, built to spill, even some everclear. Still has cheese but just sounds great. As far as this album goes, I always revisit Mutt.
Would like to see you react to their self-titled album “blink 182” and also listen to “Box Car Racer”, a different project with 2 of the blink band members.
the producer, jerry finn, was as much of the blink DNA as the band members themselves. he was great at making this unified, distinctive, cohesive sound for every album, and was a huge reason why blink had the success they did. i never really cared or realized as a kid but now that i'm older i'm like, damn without him blink is kinda different
I haven't see anyone answer u yet so, yes 2/3 members of the band sing. the Bassist and Guitarist. you can hear the Bassist (Mark) on songs like Adam's song, and the guitarist (Tom) All the Small things. and on the newest record One More Time the Drummer (Travis) sings on a few songs. You have no Idea how validated I feel when you mentioned all the songs that are better that All the Small Things.
Next reaction pls another phenomenal band from lead singer Blink 182 (ANGELS AND AIRWAVES) and albums: We Dont Need To Whisper, I-Empire, Love, part One. And his other band: Box Car Racer come on bro!
I was a little surprised you didn't pick up on Adam's Song being about suicide. I think if you give it another listen with that in mind you'll enjoy the song even more.
Such a classic album and a staple in pop punk history. Doug you should check out Skizzy Mars' new album "Bad as I Wanna Be" I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit!
Damn man i absolutely loved your Mac Miller reactions back in the day and I'm also a huge fan of Blink. Cheshire Cat is my favorite album of theirs, but Enema is probably their best. The art of simplicity at its finest form. Edit as I'm watching: there are two vocalists. The guitarist Tom Delonge with the more high pitched nasally voice (All the small things) and the bass player Mark Hoppus who has a lower voice (what's my age again) Also, i forgot how good aliens exist is
@craig2196 Carousel, Touchdown Boy, Wasting Time, and Peggy Sue are all some of my favorite songs of theirs. Even the b sides are good imo. Tom's riffs are creative and fun. I know Enema and the following albums are way better produced, but the rawness is great to me. I like all of their albums for different reasons. Neighborhoods because the songs are spacey and experimental, Dude Ranch because of the humor, Enema and TOYPAJ are nostalgia at its finest, Cheshire because of the rawness, and the self titled album is a little bit of everything that they are as a band.
Such a disappointment you weren't too fond of The Party Song, but I guess I can understand that if you're not too familiar with the punk beats or have an appreciation for that sound
It's just excessively overplayed. On a first time listen it's pretty good, but after plenty of plays, and listening to the entire album, it's definitely one of the weaker ones
Travis barker is on drums, probably the best punk drummer ever.
Not probably but definitely!!!
Adam’s song will forever be one of my favourites - never fails to make me feel nostalgic
Banger start to finish.
There’s not been a lot of fun in music for a long long time now.
Was 13 when this came out. They became my favorite band.
I was 21 when this came out...sound track to the best years of my life
Great reaction brother! I see you're really into it❤
MTV was insanely huge back then and the video for All The Small Things was insanely popular. I think that is what catapulted the song to the top.

This is my childhood and I will never wish I had it any other way ❤

Man,, had this album when I was in junior high around 2002.. It was a cassette..
What's interesting about this band is that we grew up with them. Each album gets more and more mature and relatable

Please do the next 2 albums! Take of your pants and jacket and self titled

Please do a reaction for their next album "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket"

Best Blink 182 album
You should react to the eponyme album, another banger ans Incredible to discover !
Such a classic album and a staple in pop punk history. Doug you should check out Skizzy Mars' new album "Bad as I Wanna Be" I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit!
Bro made this video in a jail cell
Damn right

problem is. I can't think of anything that isn't done simply better on Dude Ranch. The only exception is speed, I think.
PLEASE LISTEN TO NOTHING MORE’S SELF TITLED ALBUM I THINK YOULL LIKE IT 🙏
Such a disappointment you weren't too fond of The Party Song, but I guess I can understand that if you're not too familiar with the punk beats or have an appreciation for that sound
I would argue that All the Small Things is the worst song on Enema of the State
It's just excessively overplayed. On a first time listen it's pretty good, but after plenty of plays, and listening to the entire album, it's definitely one of the weaker ones
It's not a project its an album. ALBUM 😂 sorry I'm old and this rattles me
