THE REVIEW

Listening to it moved me...

The last CD by Blink182, the only TRUE (unlike Green Day) interpreters of 90s punk rock. The album is, like every Greatest Hits, a collection of the best hits and I must say that, even though some could have been left out like "Down", it is truly well-made. The songs are the best like "Feeling This" or "Adam’s Song" and there are also two beautiful unreleased tracks, "Not Now" I could listen to forever.

The band is still composed of the three guys who broke through in '98 with "All The Small Things" (also included on the CD), but it must be said that they have matured a lot as seen, or better yet heard, with tracks like "Another Girl Another Planet" that make you wonder if this is the punk of those guys back then. It should also be mentioned that they have a formidable drummer, Travis Landon Barker, who is undoubtedly one of the best on a global scale.

The only demerit, as usual, is the little booklet with the lyrics, which really sucks, but overall it’s a fantastic album.

Summary by Bot

This review praises Blink 182's Greatest Hits as a genuine and well-curated collection of 90s punk rock. While some tracks might be unnecessary, standout songs like "Feeling This" and "Adam's Song" shine. The inclusion of unreleased tracks adds value, and drummer Travis Barker receives special acclaim. The only drawback noted is a disappointing lyric booklet.

 I immediately realized it was the greatest CD in the history of pop-punk (forget Green Day & friends).

 "Feeling This," perhaps the one that excels the most on the album along with "What’s My Age Again?", thanks to a drum start mixed with electronics, it’s astounding.
