Description

Save one salty reference to sporting an embarrassing "boner during PE", the eponymous Blink 182, the band's fifth studio album is mercifully bereft of the references to farts and turds that have littered the lyrics of preceding million-sellers such as Enema of the State. Both Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge have become proud dads and thus have familiarised themselves with the fragrant pleasures of the 3.30am soiled-nappy change. Suddenly, shit isn't funny anymore, which is probably just as well seeing as Blink 182's comedic turns make the average Carry On film look like something by Moliere. Otherwisemore… it's pretty much business as usual. Guitar buzz, girl troubles and teenage hormone dilemmas, big chanting choruses come flying out like volleys of snot from a pit bull terrier's nose and the whole thing sounds like Bob Mould's Sugar fronted by the imaginary snivelling younger sibling of Dean Friedman. While "Easy Target" bucks the trend by indulging in snarling minor-chord meltdown and Robert Smith of the Cure is commendably mopey on "All of This", to call this loveably hummable buffed-up racket "punk" would be wholly disrespectful to the much cherished memory of Sham 69 or the Lurkers. The fans will love it, of course, but the uncommitted will find themselves somewhat boner-less, even during PE. --Kevin Maidment
