Product Description

After releasing a number of 7" singles over the years, Blink 182 offers CHESHIRE CAT, its full-length album. The San Diego based group (that started out as El Cautro and the Caj'ones) has honed its playing, songwriting, and surfboarding skills to create a fun record for all. Punky and melodic, CHESHIRE CAT is a great party album. The pace rarely lets up andthe songs don't wander too far stylistically, but nothing exceeds like excess!
"Does My Breath Smell?" is a funny tune of teenage ambivalence. Furiously fast, the song begs oneto get up and move (and not care how you look). "Cacophony"starts off with a slow bass line leading into a melodic intro. The pace then accelerates, with speedy riffs and crashing drums. "Romeo and Rebecca" throws some slight changes and ska into the mix, while album closer "Depends" has vocalist Tom Delonge unable to control his bladder. Blink-182 is a spirited group, coming up with hysterical lyrics and tight, well produced music. They are a skate and surf band who can really play, and this album should appeal to punk and hardcorefans.

Customer Reviews

AMAZING!!!!
I can honestly say this album is THE best album...EVER! If you like Blink-182 at all then this album is a must.
There is a complete variety of songs, the more serious ones like Cacophony are amazing (if you like Stay Together For The Kids then you'll like that).
If you like Blinks stupider side then this album is full of them. Depends is about urinating themselves with a hilarious speech made by Mark at the end. Does My Breath Smell? is another.
Of course this album holds Carousel which is amazing, the long intro builds up the musical excitement which of course is present in the rest of the album.

Cheshire Cat is a great punk-rock album, and with Blink-182 making it, who wouldn't find this album amazing?!

this is blink at their best, and thats saying something
Having owned all blink 182 albums, i feel that i truly can say that this is their finest work.Recording for a cheap record label, these tracks are as good as live. There is pretty much no studio tampering.Tracks such as Carousel, Wasting Time and Romeo and Rebecca are about teen rebelling, whilst Touchdown Boy (my all time favourite track) talks about lives injustices when it comes to jocks.Any blink fan should pick up this, as it really is as good as people say.

The Best Blink Album EVER
This is by far and away the best Blink 182 album ever, i bought almost 5years ago and it's way better than the later released titles Emema of The State and Take off Your Pants and Jacket. It's a more punkier side to Blink that lacks in their new music. If your going to buy a Blink Album this is the one! But if you don't like it punk and prefer pop go for "Enema of the State" or "Take off Your Pants and Jacket"
