Rating: THE REVIEW
I am about to talk about one of those albums that define an era, the school days. With this album, Blink have truly proven to be worth something in a modern landscape that produces more trash than talent. "I Miss You", in collaboration with The Cure's singer (Robertino Smith), is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. A dark atmosphere wraps the dangerous interplay of the bass and the singer's sad voice. "Feeling This" evokes the mischievous summer and the antics of a "young man from the outskirts" (meanwhile, my mother just caught me smoking a joint with friends).. the others are of much, much lower quality. The strength of Blink lies in the explosive bass and punked-out drums.
"So I smoke a plant, listen to Blink, read, and travel... it was the beginning of spring in the year 1750 when the first child was born to Omoro and Binta Kinte, in the village of Juffure, four days' walk from the coast up the Gambia River... the child was named Masahiro"
... your angels from your endless nightmares come to visit you and take your arm. Do not push them away; bring them into your world and accept the journey.
ded: to those who embark on strange journeys facing daily roller coasters.. Alessandro G., the man who marked the turning point for me... I discovered what it means to never stop and live the good life.

Summary by Bot
The review highlights Blink 182’s self-titled album as a defining soundtrack of youth, praising its mix of punk energy and dark emotive tones. Standout tracks like "I Miss You," featuring Robert Smith, and "Feeling This" capture both melancholy and mischievous spirit. The reviewer notes a contrast in quality across the album but emphasizes its cultural significance and personal impact. The album’s strength lies in its explosive instrumentation and genuine emotional depth.

Blink have grown up and this album is proof of that.
Much credit also goes to his technique, which is now a trademark (trust me, I’ve seen him live)!

Blink consider it their first album because they have never been so free to unleash their creativity.
'I Miss You' is simply fantastic, ... the symbol of the Blink’s change.

Perhaps very few noticed their artistic essence.
With this album, the Blink said goodbye to us, trying to give their best, and they did succeed.

"As soon as I saw it, it was love at first sight!"
"The chorus drives you crazy... and makes you want to listen to it a thousand times more!"
By Taurus
The album is much less carefree than the previous ones and indeed an atmosphere more somber and melancholic is felt in certain parts.
A good CD, a sign of the group’s sonic evolution, which should be noted and which turns out to be convincingly good in many parts.
