The songs are great! Especially Carousel and wasting time. I love the intro of carousel. I always wanted to hear that intro in one of their concerts, but it never happened. Oh well!
June 30, 2006These are the exact same songs that are on Buddha. Buddha was way better, but this album still rocks......A little......
It sounds WAY different than Buddha.
buy buddha
June 7, 2006alright many people say Blink-182 is not punk and i say those people can F*** OFF. this album is punk belive me i know punk my favorite bands are Bad Religion, Sick of it All, Black Flag, G.B.H., Hatebreed, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, NOFX, and The Circle Jerks. now i will admit these guys sold out after Dude Ranch but thats okay. now this is punk-pop but sometimes it is on the edge of those two things. sometimes it even slips over to the pop side of things but most often it is punk. with songs like sometimes, touchdown boy, and does my breath smell make this album a good punk-pop album. they address some very big punk-pop issues like girls, Tv, and jacking off. all the songs are fast, funny, and just over all good. so dont give Blink-182 s*** before you have really listened to it.
February 1, 2006I have a major problem with people who think that just because someone's gotten noticed and achieved some measure of success that they're automatically a "sellout". My favorite reply to that comment is the one that just hits the complainers right in the shins like a metal pipe. "Yeah, Metallica really sold out...last night they sold out the arena and the night before that and the night before that!" Chechire Cat is just one of two independent albums that got the majors to notice this band and sign them. And there's not a thing wrong with that. If you're in a band for a living, you're not in the business to remain someone's little secret. If you are, then you've got a day job you aren't giving up. This is a bit rough by comparison to their later stuff, but that's nothing different either. You find your way and in the process, you find your groove, you get better at it, and with the years comes a little more refinement of what you do...and yes, your style evolves and changes over the years. It's natural and should be expected. This is great early stuff and a really cool look back to those days, but to refer to the band as a sellout is ridiculous. No one forced them to write the stuff that gave them some of their biggest hits. It's a nice sentiment to think "we're not doing this for the money". Nice, but misguided. We all do our jobs to pay the bills; these guys just have a great job and they obviously love what they do. If they didn't, they would've stopped ages ago.
January 11, 2006These are some of the best songs, perfect for summer. A very good start to an incredible band. Speed punk as I like to call it. When ever I'm pissed off I put in this album and it always takes the edge off my anger and turns me into the kid I was in my eternal summer.
