blink-182
Take Off Your Pants And Jacket
In my opinion, this is the best Blink-182 record yet. They manage
to show quite easily that they are not just some dumb band who comes along and is popular
for a month and then falls off the planet. Blink-182 will be here for a while, and I
think that's great because then they can play more great songs like on their new CD. In
addition to being good musicians, they are also very funny. This is evident on the live
CD, and also on the new one. Just look at the title: "Take Off Your Pants And Jacket." Is
that not the funniest pun ever?? Anyway, the album starts off with "Anthem Part Two," and
rocks every song, right up to the second hidden track. The highlights of this record are,
to me anyway, "Happy Holidays, You Bastard" and "Shut Up." "Happy Holidays" seems like a
song they might have played between "Family Reunion" and "Blew Job" from the live CD, and
"Shut Up" shows that even a popular rock band can get away with saying "f=ck" every other
word. Anyways, this is a VERY cool album, and I highly suggest it to all of you.
