    Not bad, but certainly not the Blink you know and love. Listen to this one before you buy it.

    A great new sound, and not just for the band. A very good listen

    Sonically, their best album yet, it lacks the toilet-humor of their previous offerings, which may alienate some fans, but it makes for a much stronger album that is much more serious, yet catchy as ever.

    The disc does meander in spots, and its most achingly sincere love songs become cloying, but it's easy to both enjoy and appreciate Blink-182's effort and evolution, especially when hooky pleasures continue to function as its primary stock in trade.

    Blink-182 have found a new, angrier way to never leave junior high. [Dec 2003, p.135]

    Blink-182 is a challenging listen, although not for the reasons one usually associates with Blink-182.
