In my opinion I would rather listen to old school blink when they didn't do all that clean stuff in 2003. This is when they really were hard, dirty and agressive.
can hear a lot of influence from a band called Desendants.

Honest review
Ok in my opinion this album rules but listen now if don't like old skool blink don't buy this album is where mark was sick and tom a fairly squeaky scratchy voice songs like Time,Romeo and rebecca and Carousel and Toast & bannanas really sell it to me I may sound overated but this a really good album if you past all of the problems if your a fan before enema of the state buy this album if you weren't buy dude ranch them Cheshire cat but this album sounds like cheshire cat but there you have it. It's a blink 182 album what can you complain about.

Good As Money
This album is pretty good, fairly basic, some would say generic, but when you think about it bands like this changed the course of punk and albums such as this would have inspired blink amoungst other bands to take it to the next level. This album is as far as i know is the earlyest mass produced album from the band released years after it was recorded, remastered from a tape with a picture of a buddha on it that the found in a studio. This is why the songs are pretty poor. An essentual for any blink fan however as it shows the roots of what was to come. I myself like the buddha versions of songs also featured on cheshire cat album a little bit better as they are more raw and less rehearsed. Generally a good album, not for everyone, fans of the later blink-182, more poppy bands and/or grumpy people may disaprove!

The Worst Blink Album
Yes, sadly in any career for musicians there are high points and low points. This album isn't great, but not particularly bad. The different versions of the songs off Cheshire Cat generally aren't as good as the originals (excluding TV and Toast And Bananas). The only good different songs are Reebok Commercial and The Girl Next Door. Generally the other songs here are too short or just fairly boring.The good songs here include: Carousel, Romeo And Rebecca, Reebok Commercial, Toast And Bananas and The Girl Next Door. Otherwise the songs generally bob around the 3 star region.

Its OK
Thats all you can say really. Not many good songs. If your new to Blink-182 I suggest you purchase the album Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. Much better then this album.
