Amazon.co.uk Review
On their 1997 release, Dude Ranch, juvenile hardcore-pop band Blink 182 tickled the funny bone with an assortment of dumb sex jokes, off-colour artwork and between-song skits, including one of a dog drinking from a freshly peed in toilet. So, two years down the road, have the band matured at all? One look at the cover of Enema Of The State, which features cover art of a tarted-up blonde nurse donning a rubber glove, provides the easy answer. Fortunately, Enema supports the humour with strong musicianship. The songs are more dynamic than those on Dude Ranch, sounding like a cross between the Descendents and Fountains of Wayne. And unlike the glut of alt-rock releases that offer one or two memorable songs, Enema is flush with instantly memorable melodies and ear-pleasing harmonies. Good, dirty fun--no more, no less. --Jon Wiederhorn

Customer Reviews

cracking pop punk that still sounds vital
i got this when i was at university and for that i will always hold a special place in my heart for it,its blink 182 at their most anthemic,most vital and most fun,its an album that is packed with classic after classic,its impossible not to love songs like dumpweed,dont leave me,aliens exist,the aptly titled going away to college,as i was in another country for university,whats my age again and adams song,the remaining songs are all good as well,there isnt really a bad song on here,it isnt life changing music by any means,and of course all the songs tread the formula that nofx helped create but its all good honest fun,who can complain about that?

Amazing album!!
Fantastic album by a fantastic band. I saw someone give Enema Of The State a shocking review so im writing this to show not all the world listens to awful music.

Track 1. "Dumpweed" is an amazing start to the album with its cool riffs and catchy lyrics. 10/10

Track 2. "Don't Leave Me" is probably the weakest song on the album but still a top quality track. Personally, i prefer the live version. 8/10

Track 3. "Aliens Exist"is the type of song that sticks in your head and you walk about singing it all day. Catchy and punky. 9/10

Track 4. "Going Away To College" is up there with the top tracks on the album. Great lyrics. Just amazing! 10/10

Track 5. "What's My Age Again?" was the first single off the album and with its amusing video and lyrics, it is a punk rock classic. 10/10

Track 6. "Dysentery Gary" is one of my favourite tracks on the album. very catchy and great lyrics. 10/10

Track 7. "Adam's Song" was another single but for some reason the video is NEVER shown on TV, which is a crime. Slower song on the album and with its modulations in mood, Adam's song is a must for fans of the punk rock genre. 10/10

Track 8. "All The Small Things" is blink-182s most famous song and i do not know anyone who doesnt like it. Very, very catchy and a hilarious video. Brilliant song! 10/10

Track 9. "The Party Song" is about a high school/college party and is faster paced than the rest of the album but slower in the chorus. Extremely catchy. 10/10

Track 10. "Mutt" featured in american pie and is my favourite blink-182 song of all time. I love the lyrics and the bassline. Amazing Song! 10/10

Track 11. "Wendy Clear" is a punk rock masterpiece. Fast and punky, it makes you want to jump about lke an idiot and ill never get bored of it. 10/10

Track 12. "Anthem" is great way to end the album. Love the bass solo. 10/10

Anyone who doesn't have this album should go out and buy it now.

Their best
I think their best albumn and a very good one by any standards.

It just seems more put together than their rest. Produced much better and more professionally. Not quite 70's punk!
