blink-182 - Yay or nay?
I pulled out the blink-182 CD's the other day. I forgot how much I loved their music, but for some reason, a lot of people don't like them...
Do you?

I absolutely loathe this band and others like them. I find this kind of calculated, pristine pseudo-"rock" incredibly boring. If you want great, fun music laced with humor try something like.....off the top of my head....The Moldy Peaches.

I pretty much hate them anymore. Not sure if it's actually them or just a very bad taste in my mouth for the shitty bands they opened the door for...Simple Plan, Saves the Day, etc.

They were good way back when I saw'em on tour for Dude Ranch. But Blink got progressively worse with each album afterwards.
Now I never wanna see them live ever again. Seriously, Mark is around 30 and he's still doing mom jokes on stage. That stuff gets old.

I truly enjoy Enema and Take Your Pants... Both are excellent pop albums with great production and solid playing, especially by their drummer. I don't know how you can call it "calculated", they're certainly not Backstreet Boys level cynics. "All The Small Things" or "Aliens Exist", for example, have world class hooks and a great buzzy sound.
I think a lot of people get hung up on them because they're supposed to be "punk" and don't just take them at face value. Drop your agenda and relax and you'll find a zippy little combo.

Have to disagree there. I guess you need a twisted sense of humor to get most of their songs. What bands would you consider to utilize humor well?

Couldn't really vote... I love their "Enema Of The State" album, the perfect fun punk/pop album, IMO.
Also, "Dude Ranch" definitely has it's moments.
Only partially liked the "Take Off Your Pants..." album and haven't decided yet if I really like their new "serious" one.
So it would be a "Know too much to judge" option for me.
