Blink-182

This self-titled release shows the group shifting toward a more serious tone, moving away from the youthful sound they started with. The project is their most adventurous, replacing rapid energy with introspective thoughts that surprised many followers.

Jerry Finn returned to the studio to oversee the sessions, guiding the three members to blend moody tones and heavier, post-hardcore sounds common in the alternative scene of the early two thousands. The finished product is a focused, sincere set of songs that resembles a nighttime commute through a town that has finally begun to mature.
