Take Off Your Pants & Jacket |
 |
Play to the radio and the gravy that comes with major exposure or
play to the roots of the movement and the purists that carefully
watch over it. Such is the Ying and the Yang of punk music
and sides of the coin that Blink 182 have mastered as perhaps no other bad, with the
exception of maybe Green Day.
Pervious hit albums like Enema of the State did not pack a
hard-hitting punch but helped to push punk music into a wider lens.
Thousands of people immediately found a musical voice and thousands more
enjoyed the simple yet intriging allure of MTV staples "All The Small
Things" and "What's My Age Again?". A collective voice rang out "to
hell with the purity of the music and give us something we can rock to!".
Such is the backdrop to Take Off You Pants & Jacket (ahem), Blink 182's latest release

The title, however tongue-in-cheek, should serve as a small warning to
eager, well-meaning parents. This, although light-hearted, is not music for twelve
year olds (although beg they will). Blink 182 have had a long-standing fascination
with masturbation (not to mention the evil F-word) and the title only
strengthen's their intimate bond with the subject.
Oh, and the music? The music is spastic and self-serving, much like the band themselves,
but gleefully addictive. Even going into a listening session knowing what
to expect (and getting it), the songs twist and bob with
no defined intention. Much more of this and the Blinking Boys with need a name change
to Twitch 101. Verdict: cheese, but definately not Feta. This is the kind that tastes good with
burgers and a cold...coke.
