Description: Terrific sales of their independent
Cheshire Cat got Blink-182 signed to a major label (MCA) for 1997's
Dude Ranch, which led to radio hits ("Dammit," "Josie") and platinum sales. No "sell-out" on the band's part, though, as
Dude Ranch simply features another infectious collection of snotty vocals, punchy rhythms, vivid lyrics, and aggressive chords. San Diego producer Mark Trombino shines some of the scuffed edges, but this is still good ol' Blink at its sunny, effervescent best. Nice "emocore" spoof here ("Emo"), plus an odd knack for crafting bass-lines that recall--seriously!--New Order, and vocal harmonies that owe debts to the Beach Boys.

I got this and Cheshire Cat because I wanted to hear some old Blink-182. I was pleasently suprised by this album. It's much more dirty than Enema of the State, TOYPJ, and their self-titled album, which made it quite funny at times. Quote from the song Waggy: "I guess I'll jack off in my room until then." Plus there is a really funny sketch inbetween two songs with a dog drinking out of the toilet Mark had just peed in...I was rolling! My favorite songs on this album were Pathetic, A New Hope, Boring(short, yes but it's cool), and Josie. Immature lyrics and raspy voices will allow you to have alot of fun listening to this album. BUY IT!
No class
Could you guys do me a favor? Quit running around naked in your music videos. Your making me sick. It's bad enough you guys are ugly with your clothes on. Show some respect for the intelligent people inhabiting this planet. As for your so called music, there really is no comment on that.
