[QUOTE=YDload]I don't like the idea that a band is more mature because they're making slower songs all of a sudden. Being immature was Blink's entire gimmick, and I think they did the maturity thing best on "Dammit." Oh well, at least it's an unbiased review (read: not from a bassist).[/QUOTE]
dammit is no boubt the best song on dude ranch.the intro is hella fun to play and the entire song is easy but cool.i just had to say that even though its a completely different album

Has Blink-182 really grown up or have they been bitten by the emo bug?

Edit: I'm not a "hater".

u know there getting old and have wifes and kids now right? they cant be singing about fucking dogs up the ass anymore.

this is the one blink album i still listen to. i grew up in my tastes and shaked the whole pop-punk scene off. but this album is still in my cd holder that i carry around. theres just alot more to look into in this album then others that they have. i hope this is a sound that they'll keep for the remainder of their career.

^^^ Kinda agree. Albeit, this album doesn't have a "Dammit" or "M+M's", I still think this is their best album to date, as I was saying to pixiesfanyo. It's not perfect but even the worst songs aren't really all that bad. Here's to their future.

Yeah. Since Cheshire Cat all of the Blink CDS have had a couple really great tracks and then a bunch of filler. Then this came out, and there really isn't a hit track because all of them balance the others out so well.

i thought i was going to be disappointed with this album. but as it turns out it has some of blinks best work, and definitely their most different. no bathroom humor on this one, which is sort of a double edge sword. on one hand thats blinks gimmick, its what they do, what theyre known for. but on the other hand its a little bit of a refreshing change to hear them get serious about their music. great job on the review by the way, i much prefer the song by song breakdowns so thanks. id say pick this one up even if youve never been a blink fan in the past.

I hate blink, but when i heard this album i didnt even know who it was and i loved it!

Album Rating: 3.0

its not the best blink 182 album but its till good...some songs..
