Synopsis

Amazon.com
Their formula is simple enough--equal parts teenage humor and brattiness combined with infectious guitar hooks that just beg to be cranked up on the stereo. But with Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, the guys in Blink 182 may have delivered their best album to date, a punk-pop fusion that's so consistent you'll wonder which of the 13 tracks will become radio hits (any has the chance, really). Yes, as with Dude Ranch and Enema of the State, the songs here revolve around falling in love ("The Rock Show," "First Date"), falling out of love ("Online Songs," "Happy Holidays, You Bastard"), and plenty of other ways to kill time while away from school ("Reckless Abandon"). And yes, these guitar-driven songs all pretty much sound the same, but Take Off never gets boring. There's too much nervous energy here, too many slight variations in the arrangements, and too many hilarious lyrics that you won't want to miss. Parents may remember that the Buzzcocks used this same shtick in the late '70s, older siblings may remember that Green Day did it well not so many years ago, but Blink fans know that their band is more clever than anyone else playing today. The bonus tracks are throwaways, but that's OK--the threesome have given us plenty to bop our heads to here. --Jason Verlinde

Blink 182

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great cd. I bought it after reading reviewes on this page. Here is the list of song, there ranks(my opion), and amount of profanity.(Note: all profanity is edited out on the clean version)(1) Anthem Part 2, great way to start a cd. Has 4 F-words but the edited version takes them out. A long intro but I still give it 9 1/2 \10 stars.
(2) Online Songs, its good not as good as good as other songs on this cd. No profanity in this song. It gets a 8 \10.
(3) First Date, great song (actually the frist blink 182 song I heard and it got me hocked). No profanity in this song. It only gets a 8 \10 because of overplay on the radio.
(4) Happy Holidays, Basicaly an instrumental most of the song is so profain they had to edit it all out but the last line.
(5) Story Of A Lonely Guy, good, but kind of depresing. 2 F-words in this song. It gets 8 1/2 \10.
(6) The Rock Show, great! You probably already heard this on the raido. It has 1 F-word. It gets 9 1/2 \10.
(7) Stay Together For The Kids, GREAT!! I love this song! The best song on the disk. No profanity in this song.
It definatly gets a 10\10.
(8) Roller Coaster, good love song. 1 F-word is on this song. It gets a 8 1/2 \10.
(9) Recklwss Abandon, Great secont best on this cd. 3 F-words along with 1 S-word, they also edit out laid. It gets a
9\10 because of the useless profanity.
(10) Everytime I Look For You, good song. No profanity in this song. It only gets a 9\10 because it does not measure up to other song on this disk.
(11) Give Me One Good Reason, good song about rebelion. 2
F-words and one use of [word]. They also don't edit out "piss off". 9/10
(12) Shut Up, ok song about breaking up. 9 F-words and 1
S-word. It only gets a 6 1/2 \10 because of the profanity.
(13) Please Take Me Home, good song about going out with a friend and it not working out. No profanity in this song. It gets a 9\10. Good way to end a cd.That's it I hope you like the cd and this review helped you."
Pretty Good overall

"1. Anthem pt. 2 : B- A good song but the beginning 50 seconds is guitar
2. Online Songs: A- Great song, good beat whole way through
3. First Date : A+ You can't beat this track. Good vocals/guitar.
4. Happy Holidays: N/A You can't even count this, its 42 seconds, with only one sentence that's sung
5. Story of Lonely Guy : B It's Blink's only slow song, pretty good.
6. Rock Show : B One of those songs which is good at first, but it gets old fast.
7. Stay Together for the Kids : B- Not the best, but the chorus is similar to the old Blink Style, punk.
8. Roller Coaster: A- Great song, great chorus
9. Reckless Abandon: B+ Blink's last stab at staying punk
10. Everytime I look For You: C+ Least favorite song, only the beginning sounds good.
11.Give Me One Good Reason : C+ An odd song, you have to hear it. It's not their best.
12. Shut Up : B+ The reason it's not an A- is because of the swearing. He says the 'f' word 7 or 8 times. A great song besides that.
13. Please Take Me Home : A- Great chorus, but it's very "poppy". I think Blink's edge has dulled."
