Some would say Blink sold out to corporate execs and MTV with Enema of the State because of its radio-friendly sound, but I disagree. Sure, with songs like "What's My Age Again?" and the lyrically brilliant "Adam's Song," these comedic musicians do lose some of their harder guitar chords and lyrical freedom, but more reliable tracks similar to Dude Ranch's "Dammit" and "Pathetic" shine through on this disc as well. Some notables are "The Party Song" and "Mutt." The first track, "Dumpweed," holds true to the band's commonly messy guitar-drum patterns, while Barker's positive influence on the music is quite evident; his enthusiasm, precision and speed behind the drum set are enough to catapult this album above and beyond its predecessor. Overall, Enema of the State is a gutsy move by this trio, but they pull it off without a hitch. Blink 182 still manages to hang on tight to their witty lyrics and punk-rock sound, producing another batch of catchy tunes you can listen to any time of the day. ~Jason Zingale jzingale@bullz-eye.com Other Blink 182 reviews: |
