[MSIndulgence]

should be put in the poll forum
I love all of them but Jacket gets the most replay, so I went with that.

[seraph1214]

Dude Ranch for me. The best album from my favorite band. Close second is Enema.

[emericagal182]

had to go with toypaj but dude ranch is a VERY close second

[FueledByRock]

Dude Ranch. I still play it all the time, and every song on it is great. Second would probably be EoTS, third would be a tie between Cheshire Cat and TOYPAJ, and fourth would be s/t.

[TotalCollapse]

As a few other people mentioned, put this in the poll forum.

First one I called nonsense and hoped would disappear if I just ignored it; second one I didn't notice.

[RecklessXRandy]

It's not self titled, it's untitled. Get it right.

[muttley]

Dude Ranch.

[RiCCioLi]

Enema Of The State cause the amazing memories it brings. One album i knew every single lyric of, although I could sing about 90% of Dude Ranch. But got I hate All The Small Things (and The Rock Show for all that matters)

[michaela123]

It's not self titled, it's untitled. Get it right.

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket

[xtheaudition]

Album title

Due to some contradicting sources, the name of this album (or lack thereof) is debated. The album is self-titled, according to sources such as the band's label's website[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-4) and many online stores, for example, Amazon.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-5) and the iTunes Store (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Store), although said listings may be due to cataloging purposes. Several critics have also used the terms "eponymous" and "self-titled" in describing the album.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-6)[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-7)[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-8)[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-9)[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-10) The title for the album was originally rumored to be Use Your Erection I & II, a parody of the Guns N' Roses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses) album Use Your Illusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_Your_Illusion),[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-11) but was revealed to be a joke Barker made to "get a rise out of people."[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182_%28album%29#cite_note-12)

Actually, you're wrong. Wikipedia is not a credible source. Doesn't matter what iTunes/Amazon or what you want it to be, officially, it's Untitled. mewithoutYou is labeled "Me Without You" on iTunes and any fan of the band will tell you that's false. Same deal. Do your research



No Album Title, No Preconceptions: The New Blink-182

Band broke ties with past LPs while creating untitled new disc.



LOS ANGELES — What's their age again?
Two years older than when Blink-182 made Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, that's what.

"You can't expect a band to sound like they did two years ago," drummer Travis Barker said recently, explaining his group's somewhat experimental new album. "We're smarter, we've listened to more music. We've probably learned more on our instruments. We've probably been through more sh-- together."

"We loved playing that way before," added singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge, on the set of the "Feeling This" video (see "Jail Cells, Whips, Sexual Energy — Yup, It's A Blink-182 Video" (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1479587/20031006/blink_182.jhtml)). "We were young. We wanted to go out and break sh-- and we grew up in Southern California, that's just kind of who we are, but at this point in our life, with this career, we love art, and we wanna create art that's developed from what we all learned from being in a band for the past 11 years."
An art project is the way Blink-182 envisioned their fourth major-label studio album, which will be untitled, not called Use Your Erection I and II, as was once tossed around.

"That would have been an awesome title, but we didn't want to come up with a joke title just because it was expected of us," singer/bassist Mark Hoppus said. "We'd rather go the other way."

DeLonge said all you'll find on the cover is a smiley face and the band's name, "rather than seeing some phrase that's supposed to sum up what the whole record's about. I hate when bands have this one little thing and you think the whole record's about whatever that title is or something, whether it's funny or sad or deep. It's like we'd rather it be: 'This is our band, check it out.' "
If the album, due November 18, did have a title, perhaps Take Your Time and Polish It would be fitting. Ditching the typical recording process of writing and demoing several songs and recording them in a studio one instrument at a time, Blink-182 moved into a house and approached each song together.

"We would go in and whatever we felt like doing that day we could do, rather than just going in and trying to utilize our studio time quickly," Hoppus said. "We just really attacked each song. When we burned out on one song, we'd go and do something else. We'd work on maybe three or four different songs in a day, so it kept everything fresh and it took a lot more time, but I think that [effort] really ends up on the record."

Blink-182 spent about 10 months on the album, more than twice the time spent recording previous efforts.

"Travis said it best when we very first started. Travis was like, 'Don't think of this as the next Blink-182 record — think of it as the first Blink-182 record,' " Hoppus added. "So we had this mindset that we weren't going to second-guess ourselves ... [or] worry if people are going to accept it or if it sounds like Blink-182. If it was an idea that we wanted to pursue, we were gonna pursue it. And so we tried out all these different ideas and it was like a musical laboratory."

One of the most obvious examples of Blink-182's experimentation is "Stockholm Syndrome," which begins with an elderly woman reciting a letter Hoppus' grandfather wrote his wife while fighting in World War II.

"Real sincere, genuine letters from the worst war in history," DeLonge explained. "So we created this really sad soundtrack beyond the letters. And then it goes into the most aggressive punk rock anthem you've ever heard."
Another song includes transmissions from when NASA first landed on the moon, while the closer, "I'm Lost Without You," mixes an industrial loop with piano.

"We sing over the piano and then it just takes off into this really beautiful piece about a girl that says, 'Are you afraid of being alone?/ 'Cause I am/ I'm lost without you,' " DeLonge said. "And then it just takes you on for like six or seven minutes with two different drum sets that go in your ear, and the only way that you can really appreciate it is if you have headphones and you dim the lights in your house and really sat there and listened to it."

The untitled album will feature 14 tracks, along with a bonus DVD containing six new videos — "Feeling This" plus five by director Scandalous — and footage from Blink-182's August performance for troops in the Middle East.

[PenThrive]

TOYPAJ

FTW!

[SophGod]

untitled.

to say it's "junk" is just.... :hitself:

[Wildness774]

enema, but toypaj in as a close second

[reesa]

toypaj coz it gives me good memories and reminds me of certain people in my life. makes me smile everytime.
enema second.

[michaela123]

It was never given a name.

Hey man, S/T or Untitled, does it REALLY matter? Let me just hit up my good buddy Mark H and ask him. .......nope, doesn't matter.

[JaredKere7]

Self-Titled>Enema>Dude Ranch>TOYPAJ>Cheshire Cat IMO.

[roche]

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket was the most consistent track by track. But in a way everyone of them are good.

[tyler2tall147]

TOYPAJ>Dude>Enema>Untitled>Cat

Jacket is the best, listened to it a thousand times
Dude Ranch is 2nd just because it is what got me into blink
Enema is 3rd, cuz its good, but I hate Small Things
Untitled is 4rd, some good stuff, but the its not as poppy as the others, also not digging the 6 min song, although the album is definetely growing on me
Cat is last just because I haven't given it a "good" listen

[muzicislife31]

I can never decide between Enema and TOYPAJ.

[HoldThatSound]

Untitled.

[The Raine]

TOYPAJ by an inch.

[Broden Terry]

Untitled :nod:

[Analog Rebellion]

It doesn't matter what the self-titled/untitled album is called. Blink forfeited all rights to there being an "actual" name when they were too lazy or too cool to give it a fucking name.

Also, I love that album. But I voted for Take Off Your Pants because that one brings back the most memories for me.

[Cari]

Self-titled.

[denissuxx]

Toypay

[Cøltøn]

Self-titled > Enema = Dude Ranch >TOYPAJ > Cheshire Cat but I love them all.

[TangledUp]

Enema, for lots of reasons. But their best album was certainly their untitled.

[zachff]

Enema for me. It's the one that gets consistent spins

[JJtrackie716]

went with Enema mostly because it was the first full cd I heard from them and what made me fall in love. I heard Dammit on the radio before but Enema is what got me hooked

This. Exactly this.

[Yellowcard2006]

The self-un-titled.

Also you can keep this in the music forum. I really don't mind where the polls are. But I'm not a moderator either.

[batmannj]

Self/Untitled. It's the only Blink record I've ever owned.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

I'm shocked at how far behind Dude Ranch is.

[TangledUp]

Yeah, I am too.

[FuzyEd]

Blink albums where going down hill at the point i heard typoaj, and i was like ok i guessed they peaked with enema of the state. Then the self tilted album came out and kicked me in the balls so that's where my vote goes.

[TangledUp]

Listening to some Dude Ranch at work now.

[xtheaudition]

I'm shocked at how far behind Dude Ranch is.
me too! thats the one i voted for after i made the poll!

[Birdflu777]

Untitled is like nothing they ever made. love.

[Full Effect Ed]

S/T>Dude Ranch>Enema>TOYPAJ>CC

[iloveblink182]

i see untitled won!
