Okay, here's the deal: traditionally, bands such as Blink 182 would be considered gay and sucky. Well, I like them, and I have a brain. I do. And when combined with the fact that I think Blink have a great pop-sense, this makes for a very good and talented band. I think they are very very skilled at taking all of the things they like about bands they grew up on such as The Descendents. I really like that. They take what they like, then put it on an album. Great stuff. And Travis Barker is a freakin' awesome drummer. He's not only fast, which is sort of a pre-requisite for a "punk" band, but he is also very knowledgeable in all kinds of different drum styles, like jazz and such. That's even cooler. I think the songwriting duo of Mark and Tom is one of the best in pop music. They are just very good at it. Plus they are freakin' hilarious. That's always good. Yeah.
