What is going on my mates!
Today we will be talking about Blink-182 and how they wrote a pop punk masterpiece | Consisting of Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, and Travis Barker Blink had been building a name for themselves in the world of rock n roll for awhile before they released their greatest album to date.
The album in question is their self-titled or Untitled album. There’s some debate on whether it’s called the self-titled album or Untitled album, but in an interview in 2012, Mark Hoppus turned to Tom Delonge and asked “did we ever decide if it was self-titled or Untitled?” Tom responded with “ Untitled “ so that’s what we’ll go with.
Tom’s singing is at an all time high, absolutely killing his vocal delivery. Mark Hoppus of course has his moments as well, but Tom really steals the show with this album. Travis Barker is well.. exactly what you’d expect. Great. When it comes to Travis Barker, that’s just what you become accustomed to. Greatness.
Untitled’s Track List:
Feeling This, Obvious, I Miss You, Violence, Stockholm Syndrome, Down, The Fallen Interlude, Go, Asthenia, Always, Easy Target, All Of This, Here’s Your Letter, and I’m Lost Without You
And now.. it's time for the feature presentation you've been waiting for: How Blink 182 Wrote A Pop Punk Masterpiece

You have no idea how much I appreciate your support.
Best,

what's your favorite blink album?
Nate The Mate untitled
@@bgl1335 ayyyyy
Nate The Mate ayyyyyy
Enema of the state
Not this
Duuuuuuuuude. As a longtime blink fan, I really appreciate this video. You did an amazing job
Angela B thank you so much Angela! I appreciate YOU!
Well I guess this is growing up
da na na na na na naaaaa
Perfect comment.
Gold
I was just a young kid when I first heard that song on the radio... the VERY first time I heard it, I thought the lyrics were " well i got sissies growing up" lol lol
that was the song that drew my to blink that and what's my age again
I feel like the Untitled album was the perfect example of how a band could successfully change and mature without completely ‘selling out’ or whatever. It kinda sucks how it seemed like Blink dematured on California. The immaturity was nostalgic and good for everything before the Untitled album, everything after that should’ve been following down the path that the Untitled album set
BIG FATS MATE
Facts*** haha
Nate The Mate lmao
That's why Dogs Eating Dogs is so disheartening to listen to sometimes. It had a perfect balance of maturity as well as their trademark catchiness. It gave me optimism for the band's future but obviously we know how all that turned out. Sorry to Matt Skiba but blink-182 is no longer a band as far as I'm concerned. Only the synergy of Mark, Tom, and Travis can create the true magic of blink-182
Besides Built This Pool, what's immature about California? If anything, Tom's unreleased demo Golden Showers in the Golden State is immature...
The build up on Stockholm Syndrome , from the interlude to the actual song, is unlike anything I've heard from any pop punk band at the time and since. It's absolutely incredible.
Ed G chills every fucking time
*My dearest...*
Untitled, is the best. Let’s not forget how underrated “Neighborhoods” is though.. very solid album.
YES, hella mature, the perfect balance between AvA and Blink
Everyone acts like neighborhoods is bad and imo it's their best! But I love all albums
Thank you. I love Neighborhoods. It was such a natural step after this album.
Hell yes! Now that I’m older Neighborhoods is my favorite Blink album. The first half of that record is perfection, Tom absolutely kills it on those songs.
oPR0t0TYPEo Neighborhoods is boring😑
Tom's voice was prime during self-titled. Too good
I think Dude Ranch was his peak. Although the album wasn't produced all that well compared to the others, his vocal range was so much higher back then.
@@NorthCascades I feel like neighborhoods is really underrated too, he sounds great and also in the dogs eating dogs ep
I agree. His voice didn’t sound grungy like the 90’s albums. His voice wasn’t whale sounding like the 2010’s albums with his voice. He had a nice screaming and nice relaxed voice.
@@chatochafa130 whale hahaha
For sure the studio Sessions and live recordings are pure heart and emotion
god this album has aged incredibly
I listen to it, front to back, at least twice per year. Almost 20 years and it’s still as powerful as when I first heard it.
I still play this and Enema of the State all the time
100%
This was also the album that broke them up. The experimental side of the album really pushed Tom to want to create AVA. To push the boundaries of his creative limits which Blink could never provide. However, to this day i havent heard many if not any songs by any pop punk bands since that come close to the untitled album. Most modern pop punk bands take their cues from TOYPAJ and Enema. Pretty cool
i've been seriously into punk/rock for about almost a year and a half, but i didn't get into blink until a few months ago. they've easily turned into one of my favorite bands of all time. loved this video!
Bomboozld thanks mate! They are a great group!
Where is this rock you had been living in?
oh man... "All Of This"... just beautiful.
And I can't even listen to "I Miss You" and "I'm Lost Without You" without tearing up.
Nostalgia. F*cking nostalgia.
I wonder if Tom will ever come back to Blink.
I doubt it. He's much happier with AVA than Blink
@@BasketCase420 Well that didn't age well lol
Dude Ranch has a such a special energy to it, that's the GOAT imo
Brayten Gahimer special energy is perfect way to describe it. I 100% agree
FUCK NORRIS wtf 😂😂
My favorite blink album. Thank you
i used to always go around saying DR was their best album but as I matured I slowly realised how ridiculous that is cause self titles is simply a masterpiece.
@@BigHeavyLove I'd say it's a tie between the two. Considering the ratio of songs I skip per album, I don't skip any on either. The rest...
Not to be racist but, this video was really good Nate
hahahahaha i love you
*looks around the room"
Yeah I agree
Peripheral Vision is the goat
Turnover!!!!
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Such a beautiful, haunting album. One of my all time favs. When this came out I fell in love for the first time at 18 right before she had to go on a trip to Europe, we fell asleep on the phone every night and this album was the soundtrack to that unforgettable time, those powerful feelings of love and longing. This album hits me in the soul
Asthenia and Kaleidoscope 2 of the most underrated blink songs
Asthenia is my favorite blink song tbh
Asthenia is definitely underrated. If you listen to it now you can tell that Tom’s lyrics are directly about his dissolution with being in blink 182
Great video!!
small correction though the "read" of "reading and leeds" is pronounced like the colour red which I know doesn't make any sense but it is what it is
genuinely appreciate the correction and feedback! take care mate, you rock
Reading and Leeds are music festivals in the UK
Angela Obscura - don’t think that’s lost on the comment
Reading in England, pronounced Redding.
Great video.
Out of the whole video that bit really annoyed me
Was wondering if I was the only one
“Soaked in sorrow and dried with uncertainty” I hate how perfectly this describes me
hahahah
2:43 idk why but I've met so many people in the us military that like blink-182
Their greatest album ever and personally, my favorite album ever. It has aged wonderfully. The more you listen, the more you grow, the more you understand and appreciate this masterpiece.
1. Dude ranch
2. Cheshire Cat
3. Enema
4. Take off your pants and jacket
5. +44
6. Buddha
7. California
8. Dogs eating Dogs ep
9. Untitled
10. Neighborhoods
11. Angels and Airwaves (everything)
12. Odds and ends
Stephen Dre every Ava album beats all imo.
LMAO
This is such a unique album, there's really nothing like it
Agree with everything you said in this video. But in my opinion, for as great as it is, it doesn’t get the widespread acclaim it deserves. It’s way better than the previous 2 albums that get most of the praise. The songwriting got more mature and they were finally showing how truly talented they all are. The addition of strings, keys, etc in certain songs is just icing on the cake. A classic.
david c couldn’t agree more mate! Appreciate ya
couldn't agree more, my friend.
Yeah I don't understand why this album isn't praised like American Idiot or Black Parade are. This blows them both out the water in my opinion....
This is just solid proof that *NO ONE LIKES IT WHEN THEIR FAVORITE BAND GROWS UP*
no one likes it, but it can still be a beautiful thing! :)
@@NateTheMateForever indeed it can
WELL I GUESS THIS IS GROWING UP *catchy riff*
I hated it but will admit it needed to happen.
@@NateTheMateForever Linkin Park the only band who got better as they went on. Every album was different and refreshing
This is their best record. That much is
*ahem*
Obvious
AHHH HE SAID IT HE SAID IT
Jacob Rottmann ayyyy haha
Aaayyyeeeeee
nice pun, Obvious is a good song but not the best on the album, the best on the album (and the whole band) is Stockholm syndrome and self titled (untitled) is the best
always!
Honestly with the way things are now with mark doing simple creatures. Travis making songs with MGK. While they to keep blink alive.
And Tom doing so much just out side of music. While also being (in my opinion) musically better than Blink-182 with angels and airwaves since Tom left in 2015.
With how much it’s changed since 03. I’ve really come to love this album so much. From the songs on the album to the story of how it was made. It was the first CD I’ve ever bought, and I always come back to it.
Great video man I really enjoyed it. Editing was done so well and very well spoken. It’s nice to see this album get some love
Would pop punk still be in the mainstream if Blink never had the hiatus between Untitled and Neighborhoods??
I think definitely. There were AVA songs supposed to be blink demos like The Adventure. It would've hit it big if it was released as a blink song.
No. It was waining anyway. typical example. Untitled sound was much more akin to Emo which was taking the mantle from pop punk so it has nothing to do with link at all
No, I don't think so, the punk(pop) scene was shifted and getting overwhelmed by emo and screamo bands until it eventually died, a lot of fans grew out of that and started to fall out around the mid 00s. I wouldn't mind seeing a resurgence.
@@batman182 A lot of people hate to admit it but recent albums like MGKs Tickets to My Downfall and Mod Sun’s Internet Killed the Rockstar could be the start of a pop punk resurgence in the mainstream, or it could just be a fad. Only time will tell but either way they’re fun albums
@@AsdAsd-rd6ce that's pretty cool, I'm not familiar with the albums and I only know about MGK due to his early controversy with Eminem, but that aside, if they can keep up the energy and have fun while doing it, they might be rolling in a new Era of pop punk. Hopefully something good comes from it, I'm sick of seeing all these wannabe rappers with their auto tune and GarageBand beats. Hip-hop and rap started to fizzle out for me around 2018, hopefully kendrick will roll out with something this year.
This album changed my life. I was about 13 and I had always been a blink fan. But, my mom picked up this record for me and I listened to it pretty much daily until I turned 15. Everything about it is perfect to me. You can tell that Mark, Tom, and Travis all put everything they had into it. And the experimentation on it just blows me away every time. Everything from the vocals, to Toms guitar tone is perfect. And it couldn’t have been at a more perfect time. I had been listening to simple plan, good Charlotte, Green Day and blink all along but this was around the time I started getting into more emo driven stuff like The Used, MCR, Jimmy Eat World, and Taking Back Sunday. So this switch couldn’t have been more appropriate. I love how dark the whole album was. It’s definitely my favorite album of all time.
How is nobody mentioning Dude Ranch?!? That album is a masterpiece
Mike Jones Yeah, Untitled sucks. I remember when it came out and I couldn’t find a human to even admit they liked one song from it. 20 years later little kids are saying it was their “greatest album”. Not even close. Not even Blink. The lyrics on feeling this... Really.... That’s blinks “greatest ever”. Wow. Cringe.
@@stephendre2902 I grew up with blink since Cheshire and still think untitled is their best.
Dude Ranch is easily their best album. It was all downhill after that. What you'll find is that most people hadn't heard of them until Enema of the State and those people don't know anything from before that other than possibly "Dammit."
Everyone still loves Dude Ranch, guys. There's no need to get defensive.
When untitled came out, I felt like it just wasn’t blink to me anymore. I wanted more funny blink. Now that I am older, I find it incredible.
Dude Ranch, probably because my life during those times was a reflection of that album. Musically, Dude Ranch was an absolute masterpiece with the timeless chord progressions, riffs and bridges. Although Hardcore/punk was what I was most involved with during those years, pop-punk was my favorite genre of music and still is. Don't get me wrong though, the self titled album is also a favorite of mine. The two albums are so damn good that they should consolidate them into a single album so they never have to be compared......just sayin' 😎✌
I remember my best friend got me this on C.D. when it came out my freshman year of high school. Upon my first listen, I was very disappointed, but I grew to love it more than any other album by the band.
i like this story
Same experience for me. It was weird and wasn't the blink I wanted to hear at the time. Over time it grew on me though and apparently it was the blink I needed. Just took me a while to realize it
@@doctajuice exactly. It wasn't the blink we necessarily wanted but it was the blink we needed.
I know how important and pivotal Enema/TOYPAJ (W/O Dude Ranch THERE IS NO ENEMA, face the facts) are for pop punk history, but blink has four (and not only two, like many people say) landmark albums:
1. Enema of the State (pop punk, punk rock/skate - 5x platinum U.S/15 mill. sold ww)
2. TOYPAJ (pop/punk rock, posthardcore tone - 2/3x platinum U.S./14 mill. ww)
3. Untitled (pop/punk rock/post-hardcore tune - 2x platinum U.S./7 mill. ww)
4. Dude Ranch (skate/punk rock/pop - 1, 2x platinum U.S.)
Also, I'd like to tell people that blink-182 isn't only rooted to the pop-punk term/subgenre. You can also CLAIM they are PUNK ROCK. Don't be afraid to say it, a keyboard Sex Pistols killer won't kill you. They're not fully pop (at least during the 1995/03 time period). I feel kinda frustrated when I hear blink is just only POP PUNK all the time, it's not that is a bad thing but let's face it. Many people consider Green Day both, pop and punk rock, but the biased construction of their genre is mostly punk rock for their fanbase, even though they are really pivotal to pop punk due to their massively contributions.
Billie Joe prefered to keep refering to it as punk rock music, that there's no other way around. And that he hates the pop punk term. Let's debate, guys.
Favorite band forever. Wish they had stayed together...for the kids.
right.. they all have kids and owe it to them
It’s not right.
TOYPAJ is their best imo, but Untitled is a very close second
an outstanding blink album
Toypaj is one of their weakest. Still a great album but it brought nothing new to the table after Enema.
Matt R. Exactly this, they just tried to do the same thing again but most of the songs didn't pan out
Righttt toypaj is my favorite
I feel like TOYPAJ wasn’t as good as Untitled, but it was definitely an awesome transition from the older albums
i love so many of their songs over the years, but no one ever seems to mention carousel, and to this day i think its a gem, but that is just 1 of many tracks i simply love and take me way back years into the past!
Y E S my personal favorite.
Im 43 now and Dude Ranch was such a great album the guitar riffs on that album were their best
man i remember the christmas of 2003 getting this album and spending hours sitting at my bedside reading the lyrics and blaring it in my CD player like it was yesterday.
Then NFG's Catalyst came out the next year... those were the days.
I remember when they were writing this album, the videos. I was in my last year of high school and I didnt have a computer at home so would go to the library every day to watch the videos on their website and sit on the loserkids webchat room 😂 ahh ... so long ago
This better be about untitled
Edit: THANK GOD!
mate, i gotchu don't even worry
Nate The Mate OMG hey Nate!
Untitled is definitely their best but Dude Ranch is my favorite!
totally feel you! i'll always have a special place for dude ranch haha
Dude ranch is 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
My lady’s so sweet she likes to entertain :)
🤘👏👌
Amen! 🤘
You mispronounced "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" when you were talking about their greatest album of all time.
You can’t rush perfection
UNTITLED IT IS!!!
"Despite much of Blink's career being built on showcasing the beauty of youth, Untitled shows us that there's equally as much beauty can be found in growing up." ----- It hits me.
Nate, the amount of passion and dedication you're pouring on your videos are really amazing! You're on a roll! Always a QUALITY CONTENT!
Also, I love the aesthetics on this video or whatever you call it.
P.S. I have a pouch with Untitled logo print. 💕
Damn, man. Great editing and audio. You should do more stuff like this. Maybe something like this on American Idiot and why it got as big as it did.
This album hit me at the exact moment I needed it just as I was leaving high school. I feel lucky to have come of age with blink and in parallel with Andy from Toy Story. Would be interesting for you to explore the themes of Untitled that eventually made it into Angels and Airwaves because it’s all there. Great stuff Nate
Same. It came out during my Senior year of high school and it just immediately became the soundtrack of the year for me and my friends. All I think about is that time now when I hear that album.
Love this album, they hit the emo phase right as i did
This album totally kickstarted emo into mainstream pop culture heading into the mid 2000’s
Not emo ffs…. emo is terrible lmao blink is awesome
This is a kickass video. I'm glad you put into words what I have thought for a long time
For some reason I clicked on this video thinking it would be about "All the Small Things." Although I was disappointed towards the beginning, I wasn't at the end.
Suggestion: Would you be willing to do a video on Sum 41's Chuck? It has a really interesting backstory.
thanks so much mate! I'd be willing to look into it, what's the general basis of the story?
@@NateTheMateForever I think they were on a trip to Congo, to record some MTV special show and a shooting got near and a man working as a security or something in a hotel fought to save their lives. Then they called the album by his name as a dedication.
Awesome vid that really sets out what this album is. This album is still underrated when you leave the fan base. It deserves to sit alongside Ok Computer and melancholy and the infinite sadness and such but those who know know.
Lets not forget, dogs eating dogs EP....so much potential
And the difference? They did it quickly and stop sending samples and recording sessions from one side of America to the other. They just got in a room and pumped it out
"Here's your letter" off "Untitled" imo is one of the most underrated songs they've ever written.
I actually like the older Blink better. I listen to Carousel almost daily, and often listen to things from Dude Ranch, and Enema of the State.
Hello from Poway! Great video, but I politely disagree on this being the album where Blink's influences shine through the best, if at all. Dude Ranch and Cheshire Cat do a much better job of showcasing that.
In regards to musical style, Cheshire Cat in particular is almost indistinguishable from Screeching Weasel's Boogada and My Brain Hurts - identical song structures and textures, and the melodic leads that can be plugged straight into a Weasel song. Lyrically, everything up until Take Off is basically just an extension of what the Descendents had already done, just updated a bit for the 90s California high school culture that used the word 'gay' to mean 'uncool'.
Unwritten Law might have been the biggest influence on Blink's self-titled album. Early Blink and UL sound nearly identical, and the bands were friends at the time. After a decade of being an emotionally charged skate punk band, they made the jump to being more than just the band that wrote 'Calin' with their release Elva, which gave them the jump to mainstream popularity. With pop punk's popularity dying out in the early 00's, Blink had to have seen the success of Elva alongside the rise of post-hardcore and made the jump themselves a year later. Blink's Self-Titled sounds a lot more like Elva than anything else, and it's no coincidence.
TL;DR. early blink-182 = their influences, Blink's self titled = Unwritten Law's Elva.
It's hard for me to imagine anyone who fell in love with Blink before Untitled thinking post Untitled is better. They are just completely different bands before and after.
It was a Tuesday in the fall of 2003 when Untitled came out. I was 16 and Blink was my favorite band by a large margin. I even still have an original Buddha demo tape. I scheduled an orthodontist appointment for the morning of its release so I could get out of school and buy it as soon as Best Buy opened. I popped it in my CD player and listened to it as I drove around before going back to class.
I was....so disappointed. I've listened to it fewer than 10 times since. It just never really grew on me. I can't even name any of the songs besides the radio hits. I haven't really listened to anything they've put out since.
They needed to change. Mark was over 30 and they all had families. "what's my age again" and "well I guess this is growing up" don't work forever. I'm not mad that they went in a different direction, it just wasn't my style. Sometimes I still play their albums but always stop at TOYPAJ.
They're eligible for the R&R HoF in 2020 and I think they deserve it.
Already love the video 15 seconds in
dang ily
Nate The Mate if u wanna collab on a documentary, let me know😜
Those last 4 songs on this record (Easy Target, All Of This, Here's Your Letter, I'm Lost Without You) just make the entire thing. Don't ever skip any of them. Just listen to them flow into each other. It's insane how those 4 are in the same key, yet don't sound repetitive in any way.
Honestly, I feel like the self titled album was the worst they had made at that point, at least since Travis joined. It wasn't bad but I would still put it under dude ranch. The singles are great but it's been years since I listened to the whole thing without skipping several tracks.
Odd, this album, along with Grayscale's Nella Vita are one of few no-skip albums out there.
Who taught you how to throw the dick down the stairs!
Cheshire cat - First blink album i was introduced to. After that it was all downhill, for me.
Seems like yesterday my sister and I were running off the school bus to get home to turn on TRL to see the next big thing. I remember when all the small things came out and walking outside hearing a friend singing it while skateboarding past my house lol. We still have good music coming out but music isn’t exciting like it was back then before the internet when all we did was watch mtv to see the next big thing, when an album is coming out and going to the record store to grab that album but you found 3 other albums you wanted from some bands you never heard. Back then at certain stores you could listen to a clip of albums before you bought them almost like iTunes does now. It’s crazy how the internet made us loose all excitement about music.
I was a musician for a while and I feel so band for bands now because it’s so hard for them to make money. People think if a band is well known they are rich but they don’t understand without record sales bands make money from touring, merch, back stage meet and greets but they still have to pay to make the albums which comes off of their touring money, record labels get a piece of their touring money and fuck touring costs a shit ton of money. Many medium size bands are lucky to break even on a tour.
Enema of the State is their pop punk masterpiece, not this album. That album was way more inspirational and groundbreaking
Totally agree
This video made me love Blink even more! I think my favorite album is Neighborhoods
I Wish I Really Hated You
Is their newest song and it’s actually really good
Look it up
Showtime123 yea so fucking good
This video brought back so many nastalgic memories, thankyou for that dude. 🤟😊
To me, their best album was Enema. Sound and composition was beyond any band has done at the time.
Yes, for me too. Enema was like a refined advanced version of what they did on Chesire/dude ranch. The drums were also a shock at the time. When the record came out i didn't know they've changed the drummer, and i was like: what? man, just wow... this is amazing. Where did this guy came from?
I liked the box car racer album a lot, and take off your pants and jacket was my personal favorite album. And I agree with people saying neighborhoods is underrated.
How are you going to talk about Untitled and not mention Violence ?
Enema is their catchiest and most influential album. In 1999 everyone.. and I mean **everyone** aged 13-19 had a favorite blink song. There wasn't a pop punk band between 2000-2008 that didn't list blink as a major influence or inspiration.
Untitled is more mature though. **shrugs**
Self titled, TOYPAJ, Enema, all masterpieces tbh
I remember in school the day me and my mates got it, we where blown away how different it was, we loved some songs but not all. At the time we couldn't fully understand the songs to there fullest but as we grew into more mature young adults the songs clicked into place. Definitely an album for life.
The Untitled album is legit proof that bands can evolve and still sound like the same band. I mean Buddha to Untitled, that's a perfect evolution of a band, IMO. During this time, the progression of the sound, tone, lyrics, you name it, just got better and better. Obviously the hiatus after Untitled and the Neighborhoods album (which is a good album but nowhere near the expectations people had) affected the band's evolution, but I think they were on the right track with the Dogs Eating Dogs EP. Since then, I haven't been a big a fan of their newer stuff with Matt Skiba, but I don't completely hate it, either. Fingers crossed for Nine.
By far their best album. Probably my favorite album of all time still. I remember dude ranch was the cd that woke me up every day for school. Songs have hit me harder since, but a full album never hit me as much as this one did. I doubt another album ever will.
This Is My Boomstick it’s really somethin special
I found bL!Nk 182 at 17 my fav album until last was Take off you’re pants and jacket. But has I’m getting older the more mature Blink 182 seems more appealing too me. Thin I still love Dude Ranch,Emma of the State and T.O.Y.P.A.J.
FBB fan 94 love your perspective mate
This album came out the summer before high school for me... and shaped who I was throughout the rest of my youth. So good.
You should do "How Blink-182 Stopped Writing Pop-Punk Masterpieces"
Matt McSherry step one: hire Matt Skiba!
Was in high school when this album came out, and was glued to their website to watch all the videos they put out when they were making it. I definitely think this is their best album.
i feel like Go is the most personal on the record for Mark
Nick Hopwood I can see this
@@NateTheMateForever luv u bro
My all time favorite album from any band. Can’t wait for 2023 when Tom comes back for the 20 year anniversary!
"Greatest album to date" is a subjective opinion. I still stick by Dude Ranch and Enema as their best albums.
Yep
I switch my favourite so often lmao. I got into them through TOYPAJ and then expanded from there. Enema, dude ranch and untitled are all awesome albums imo but untitled definitely was the most experimental
This video was so lovely. Blink is my favorite band of time, so it’s refreshing to hear something other than complaints about their newer music or confusion with their current tour with Lil Wayne haha.
I would absolutely love a video about how Blink-182 has evolved.
First of all the self titled is not their best album, and second Travis wasn’t with them until Enema of the state
Asthenia is such a beautiful song. I miss this Tom, man.
1. The Mark Tom & Travis Sho
2. Dude Ranch
3. Dude Ranch
4. Dude Ranch
5. Dude Ranch
Dude.
i was born a little over a month after this album was released. this is my favorite album period. i feel a spiritual connection to this album. greater than any other.
Can you do Green Day next?
21st_century_americanidiot for sure!
@@NateTheMateForever Since American idiot is about to turn 15 and also Dookie just turned 25, I was thinking about you probably doing Green Day because of that.
Nate The Mate as long as it’s not on American Idiot. Do Dookie or Nimrod
@@aleksandarmarkovic221 I like those albums, but American idiot is my favorite, though. I'll be fine, ARTV is gonna be doing a rating of the album probably (which I suggested to him.)
It's very interesting to see what the Younger blink fans have to say. As someone that grew up listening to the band, enema of the state and TOYPAJ are my personal favorites, I'd also take Buddha over Cheshire cat. Not to say the others are bad, those are just my favorites.
I guess this is growing up
Helpthony Metano darn :/
Lifelong Blink fan here. Pushing 22 years now. I agree the self titled was blinks greatest album musically ever created. “Stockholm syndrom”.
“Down” “ im lost without you”
I know it's the best album, I wrote half of the songs.
love u thomas
Great analysis and video. I got chills a few times. This is one of my favourite albums of all time
I’ll take more Blink vids plz m8
William Graham coming up
Gee, fantastic video and makes me want to listen to it again. Agree with you in saying it’s their best album musically, and yes a masterpiece. Just disappointed they went their separate ways for a very years and didn’t get a real follow up this this album.
It's a great album. It's a shame they regressed when Tom left.
Absolutely love and agree with this video totally. This has been the album from Blink 182 that has been stuck in my head for the most time. I think it definitely is the best and probably my favorite.
lol i didn't know everyone referred to it as untitled as opposed to self-titled #fakefan
carolinelizabeth I’m a fake fan too, don’t worry
Nate The Mate thanks for the reassurance :)
Ik this is late but Mark has said that it is untitled
finally, someone not banging on about the poppy 90s nostalgia era of blink. untitled is where its at.
AudioBootlegs facts baby!
Stopped listening after Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. Old Blink > New Blink.
Feral Kimchi That’s pretty unfortunate; untitled is a classic. It’s not my favorite from them (that’s Cheshire Cat), but I do believe it’s their best-written album.
Yeah, I like everything up to Untitled. Don't get me wrong, I like some songs from Untitled, however, I like almost every song from the previous albums.
This is the only album I’ve ever heard where I love every single song on it. Not a single bad one.
I am disappointed Cheshire Cat tho man
pfffft
Nate you absolutely nailed this video. I love this quality and time you’re putting into each one. Just wanna say at the end when you talked about growing up, it hit home man. Keep up the awesome work 🤙🏼
