Definitely this. Personally I think Boxcar is one of my favorite albums of all time. This album is the first work after Boxcar so the influence is all over it. It's darker and more serious. I always wondered why this album was self-titled, but I think it's when they really found their sound. Such a good album.
Definitely listen to the +44 album, Mark and Travis project after blink-182 went on hiatus. I freaking love this album and now and then listen to it in it's entirety. It's really a shame they never released a new album, even though it's because they got blink back together.
favorite album of all time right here. A masterpiece with Stockholm Syndrome being an absolute favorite would love to see you check out the next full Blink album Neighborhoods
Blink is the only band that I know of that has three (some say 4) albums that could all be ranked number 1 of their catalog. Of course this has its own problems as well, because it means its REALLY difficult to match the level of quality with future releases. Its hard to look at a title completely objectively when a band has a run of three 10/10 or 9/10 albums. in my opinion this is why Modern Blink gets so much hate from fans now neighborhoods onwards. IMO they're frankly just a great band, and each are fantastic songwriters, even on their first (studio) album Chesire Cat you can already hear how good they are. Chesire is my lowest rated album, at a 7/10. Which is good and above average, but whats above average when compared to perfection?
this album was one of the crown jewels of unsung genius producer jerry finn who helped create the sounds of all the best bands of this little era of music. you should check out Sing The Sorrow by AFI. another masterclass from jerry
I like at end how lost without you ends with that drum beat. It feels like a heart beat that matches the intensity of the faster tracks....then it stops and the shows over.....
The girl in the Always video is Australian Singer and T.V Host "Sophie Monk". She was part of group called "Bardot". And now hosts and is part of a lot of Australian reality T.V
Since you asked, their influences were Bad Astronaut, Fugazi, and The Cure on this album. They wanted to experiment with a different sound while staying punk, so the resulting album was this. As for what the lady in that interlude is talking about, it's a letter Mark Hoppus' grandmother sent his grandfather during WWII. They got a woman named Joanne to read it for the album and the result is that very eerie build into Stockholm Syndrome.
They spent a year making this album based on something Travis said: "Let's just make an album like it's our first record. Just make whatever music we want to make." And they did. Maybe my fav album of all time. I always say you have to listen to the whole album, not just a song.
If you watch the documentary of the recording process of this album you will understand better everything. It's is magical if you love blink and this album. Robert Smith said the same you told about blink and his band so you get the point only listening the albums, amazing. The next you should react is +44 and you'll conclude the etape of jerry Finn with this guys (boxcar racer was also with him). That man was magic too. Take care man
The ending of Feeling This with the two audio vocal tracks mixing was a mistake. It was originally supposed to just fade out, but they thought it sounded cool.
The Stockholm Syndrome Interlude was with vocals by Joanne Whalley, in which she is reading Mark Hoppus's grandfather's letters that he wrote to his grandmother during World War II.
This whole album is very experimental. Blink changes their sound and explores a lot of different ideas in this album and they crush it which has made this album a timeless classic!
Fun fact, only Travis was allowed to kiss Sophie Monk, none of their wife’s allowed them except Travis’s at the time because she was an actress and knew it was for film. 36:11
I literally had a come to god moment listening to this album with good quality headphones and an official copy for the first time after listening to an mp3 disc rip with shit earbuds for years
You should watch Blink perform "A Letter To Elise" live on MTV. Robert was watching and even gave the faintest smile that only Robert could give. Haha.
Right I think one of the songs one of the members grandmothers had letters of their grandfather from the army or something and I think one of those songs was “Stockholm Syndrome”
Haven't read thru the comments yet, but if it wasn't suggested you should look into the making of this album. I found it interesting. This album has a lot of the Boxcar Racer sound to it.
I'd be pretty curious to find out what you think of Angels and Airwaves. It's quite different from Blink but has a, at least to me, unique sound. Their first album or I, Empire are both good listens imo
The album booklet explains every song in this album it has an explanation something like Stockholm syndrome it's a letter that the grandfather of Mark wrote to the grandmother when he was in war
What’s wild is I got the album. I think I read in the book that Travis Barker he dedicated the song “I Miss You” to his mother at the time was deceased.
Now is the perfect time to dive into their side projects and then dip into Buddha, Cheshire Cat, and Dude Ranch before continuing onto Neighborhoods Dogs Eating Dogs, California/Deluxe which you could separate as a two parter, Nine, and One More Time
Stockholm Syndrome Interlude is a woman reading letters Mark found that his Grandfather wrote to his Grandmother during WWII while he was stationed in Europe.
i dont believe theres another band travis would have shown as much tom basically based his writing style around travis drums alterring his simplistic riffs to suit travis drums and adding depth to his riffs
I think this was one of their last best albums of the 2000’s! I know everyone gets older? And voices change as well? But this was their prime…and if they never broke up? We would’ve gotten more music from them by 2010 by now. Still Blink 182 are legendary
this record is forever. Untitled is goated. Check out When your heart stops beating by +44 which is another side project by Travis Barker aND Mark Hoppus
You should see the live performance that blink has done in london around that time. Robert was around, dancing right in front of Mark as he performed Dammit - its so adorable you can see how happy Mark is for seeing his icon enjoying his song.
If I can recommend while it's not the same as this Dogs Eating Dogs was a really good EP they released after Neighborhoods and at the time to me felt like a return to form from the self titled era
@@91Definite as I've gotten older compared to when I first heard neighborhoods I actually like the album more now than I did This is Home, Wishing Well, MH 4.18.2011, and Kaleidoscope all resonate with me more now
Cheshire Cat was a very different album from the others! I felt they weren’t experienced with writing songs that well yet! But I gotta let that one grow me though. I love Blink 182
Everyone a hater till they actually hear blink
yep
It’s because alls they’ve heard is the radio hits , and as a hardcore blink fan , I can’t stand their radio hits. I hate them
@@1Capnjazzsame
aint that the truth
dude PLEASE do dude ranch reaction, was before enema when they were still more skate punk, that album is a master piece
Agreed bra. Dude Ranch is even better than Enema. Not sure how but it is.
Not sure if anybody commented this but, the Stockholm Syndrome interlude was a letter written from Mark's grandfather, to his grandmother during WW II
When stating I miss you isn't punk. The fact that a punk band made a song that wasn't punk, is the very epitome of punk. Bravo blink.
After "I Miss You" he says they have a Cure vibe or something... I giggled knowing what's coming up on "All of This".
There are basicly two kinds people in this world. Blink 182 fans or people who only saw All the small things or whats my age again and hate them 😂
I'm a blink fan and I hate all the small things lol
@@higuk999 It's an instant skip
Hey! You did it! I requested it in the live stream!!!!!
The interlude was a letter Mark’s grandpa wrote to his grandma in WWII I believe.
Correct
I will say this. This album took a while to grow on many blink diehards. Now it’s often looked back on as their best.
Definitely this. Personally I think Boxcar is one of my favorite albums of all time. This album is the first work after Boxcar so the influence is all over it. It's darker and more serious. I always wondered why this album was self-titled, but I think it's when they really found their sound. Such a good album.
@@MrElephantshellthis album was their last best of work! And I was 12 years old when I found out about them during the self titled album
Am I the only one who just realized after all these years that Terry Crews was in the Down video? 😂
I always knew Terry Crews was in the “Down” joint
easily blink's best work. it's so distinct from what they did before and was a massive influence on the burgeoning emo genre
appreciate it for what it is but far and away from their best work
Angels and airwaves love pt1&2 albums are one kf the reasons im still alive after i lost 2 of my kids.
Juan we are with you ❤ AVA heals and the community is with you!! To the Stars! 👼
I adore blink 182 because every album of their's is so incredibly different sounding, while maintaining their vibe.
Definitely listen to the +44 album, Mark and Travis project after blink-182 went on hiatus. I freaking love this album and now and then listen to it in it's entirety. It's really a shame they never released a new album, even though it's because they got blink back together.
38:58 Sophie Monk is an Australian singer, actress, television personality, and model. She was a member of the pop girl group Bardot,
She also used to date Benji Madden from Good Charlotte.
Of course she was an Aussie she's a knockout 😂
She’s the Presenter of Love Island Australia now
You should definitely react to angels and airwaves, We Don’t Need to Whisper and I Empire are some really good albums I recommend from them.
favorite album of all time right here. A masterpiece with Stockholm Syndrome being an absolute favorite
would love to see you check out the next full Blink album Neighborhoods
Violence is one of my favourite Blink songs. So good
Now you have to react do neighborhoods album 😂
The Stockholm Interlude are excerpts from letters Mark's Grandfather wrote to his Grandmother during WW2
I remember that! So it was Marks grandfather writing to his grandmother with the letters from the war 💯!
Stockholm syndrome interlude is a letter marks grandpa wrote to his grandma during on of the wars
Check +44, Mark and Travis project. It's only one album. It's close to this era
The interlude is a letter from Mark's grandma who's husband was in ww2
Stockholm Syndrome Interlude was a letter written by Mark's grandfather sent to his wife during WWII. It's being read by Joanne Whalley
20 years later I find out wtf that was. Wish i knew at the time
now u have to hear +44 and angels and airwaves!!
If you do Neighborhoods next, please make sure it's the deluxe edition. It's a lot better than the original release.
Yesss, such an underrated album! One of my favorites from them
Violence was my all time favorite from this album when it came out and is the track that sold my on buying the CD. So good.

The only band? Theres plenty. Off the top of my head, Weezer, Brand New, MCR, Taking Back Sunday, & Vampire Weekend
this album was one of the crown jewels of unsung genius producer jerry finn who helped create the sounds of all the best bands of this little era of music. you should check out Sing The Sorrow by AFI. another masterclass from jerry
I like at end how lost without you ends with that drum beat. It feels like a heart beat that matches the intensity of the faster tracks....then it stops and the shows over.....
Whenever I listen to that song I think of love lost. Travis drumming did take the song to a genuine place though.
MTV Icon 2003. The Cure edition. Blink-182 played "A Letter to Elise" at that event.
13:42 Man U don’t even know… people that don’t know blink at all recognize I miss you. It’s a a whole meme
Including the "Where are yew!!!" And the "The voice inside my yead."
Awesome dude. Now you need to listen to Plus 44 !! Is a side project with Mark and Travis.
Ava First 😂
you seem confused during the interlude, it is said that it is a letter written from marks grandfather to his grandmother when he was in WWII
dude was literally HATING almost everything. which was very much punk.😂
We all did to some degree. I made an anti fall out boy shirt when I was 14 and got into hardcore. Very cringe in retrospect!
The girl in the Always video is Australian Singer and T.V Host "Sophie Monk". She was part of group called "Bardot". And now hosts and is part of a lot of Australian reality T.V
Next - Angels and Airwaves albums 🍌
Blink 182 one more time album 2023 🍌
This is the perfect album for this thing. Perfect choice. Untitled album is full of creativity, intelligence and romance
Always model:
Sophie Charlene Akland Monk (born 14 December 1979) is an Australian singer, actress, television personality, and model.
She’s the Presenter of Love Island Australia now
"what genre are we listening to"
blink :)
Do angels and airwaves with we don't need to whisper, that album came after this one
"Neighborhoods" Album! The best and aged so well...
Neighborhoods is one of my favorite blink albums
You’re on crack
Gotta listen to Dude Ranch and Cheshire Cat before moving on imo theyre both gems

Now its the time for the letter Mark wrote to Tom, known as +44
Especially on the track "No, It Isn't." It was Mark and Travis's response to "Start the Machine" by Angels & Airwaves.
@@StandUpComedyFan28m actually start the machine is an answer to that cuz no it isntwas releasedi in december 13th 05(toms birthday)
I spent the last two hours watching your vids. One of which I'd already seen before. Great stuff

The bridge on Violence is so hauntingly beautiful
Stockholm sydrome is the best blink-182 song of all time
This whole album is very experimental. Blink changes their sound and explores a lot of different ideas in this album and they crush it which has made this album a timeless classic!
I love this keep doing it. Next up you get to dive into some AVA and +44! Wish I could hear them for the first time again
Fun fact, only Travis was allowed to kiss Sophie Monk, none of their wife’s allowed them except Travis’s at the time because she was an actress and knew it was for film. 36:11
She’s an Aussie singer, done a lot of Australian reality tv, and was with one of the charlotte brothers. Still is maybe?
I literally had a come to god moment listening to this album with good quality headphones and an official copy for the first time after listening to an mp3 disc rip with shit earbuds for years
Neighborhoods album next. Amazing and underrated album
i don't think he will like it the first time hear that, just like all of us haha
the album just like wine
Do neighborhoods, I think its underrated
So is dogs eating dogs. But box car racer is a top 5 blink album and nothing post untitled is.
@@Kwright304 For the record; Box Car Racer isn't a Blink record. It's by Box Car Race. It's gonna be OK.
Oh man you gotta watch the MTV album launch documentary for this album.
Blink Hater Reacts To Angels and Airwaves - We don’t need to whisper!!
BLINK HATER HATES BLINK FOR NO REAL REASON AND HAS NEVER LISTENED TO THEIR MUSIC, WATCH MY REACTION
Yaaaaassss to this above comment. The war. Fucking masterpiece.
You should watch Blink perform "A Letter To Elise" live on MTV. Robert was watching and even gave the faintest smile that only Robert could give. Haha.
U did not hate the music, u just hate the generation
u need to check blink-182 A Letter To Elise (Cure Cover)
Best album of Blink 182. No one can be a hater after listening to this.
P.S.: you vaguely remember me of Tony Leung, Hong Kong actor ahah
The woman speaking in the interlude of Stockholm Syndrome is reading WW2 letters sent from Mark's grandpa to Mark's grandma.
This album really was for those that were hurt and needed closure.
It helped me so fuking much.
This album was meant as a story, to take you on a full journey. Listen to start to finish.
It’s a masterpiece imo
Right I think one of the songs one of the members grandmothers had letters of their grandfather from the army or something and I think one of those songs was “Stockholm Syndrome”
20:34 its funny you should mention alkaline trio...
and the cure at 13:00
Great reaction brother. Felt like I was showing a friend my favorite album! Ahaha
Haven't read thru the comments yet, but if it wasn't suggested you should look into the making of this album. I found it interesting. This album has a lot of the Boxcar Racer sound to it.
I'd be pretty curious to find out what you think of Angels and Airwaves. It's quite different from Blink but has a, at least to me, unique sound. Their first album or I, Empire are both good listens imo
Now you gotta do neighborhoods

What’s wild is I got the album. I think I read in the book that Travis Barker he dedicated the song “I Miss You” to his mother at the time was deceased.
*7:15** "Obvious" to me sounds very similar to 'Box Car Racer'.*
I’d still LOVE to see you react to the album “Take This To Your Grave” by Fall Out Boy!
Do dude ranch it would be interesting for you to go back in time after following their progression since enema
My favorite was when he was like “Tom looks particularly emo” I was like no post 2003 emo looks particularly like Tom 😂
You should do dude Ranch, which was the album before enema of the state, the album before they broke worldwide big
Also before Travis
Now is the perfect time to dive into their side projects and then dip into Buddha, Cheshire Cat, and Dude Ranch before continuing onto Neighborhoods Dogs Eating Dogs, California/Deluxe which you could separate as a two parter, Nine, and One More Time
Hell yeah man. Their album neighborhoods is extremely underrated imo
You should listen to dude ranch next! It's my favorite blink album.
blink 182 "Down" MV
It's look like GTA live action😂
Stockholm Syndrome Interlude is a woman reading letters Mark found that his Grandfather wrote to his Grandmother during WWII while he was stationed in Europe.
For the record; all women have hair under their arms. They remove it constantly if they don’t appear to. It’s gonna be ok.
i dont believe theres another band travis would have shown as much tom basically based his writing style around travis drums alterring his simplistic riffs to suit travis drums and adding depth to his riffs
And I believe it's Travis doing the vocals when he whispers "This can't be the end" and "They did this" in Down.
This is their best album in my opinion. Still play it all the time.
I think this was one of their last best albums of the 2000’s! I know everyone gets older? And voices change as well? But this was their prime…and if they never broke up? We would’ve gotten more music from them by 2010 by now. Still Blink 182 are legendary

I've been waiting for this vid since I found your channel
welcome to the blink family bro, you're not a hater anymore
If I can recommend while it's not the same as this Dogs Eating Dogs was a really good EP they released after Neighborhoods and at the time to me felt like a return to form from the self titled era
worst blink era ever
“Neighborhoods” I didn’t like very much.
@@91Definite as I've gotten older compared to when I first heard neighborhoods I actually like the album more now than I did This is Home, Wishing Well, MH 4.18.2011, and Kaleidoscope all resonate with me more now
Asthenia is about being trapped in a space capsule in orbit and wondering if it’s even worth going back to earth
For me dogs eating dogs EP is such a masterpiece
100% agree! So underrated but completely amazing!
I gotta listen to that EP again 🤔.
Do their Cheshire Cat album next
Cheshire Cat was a very different album from the others! I felt they weren’t experienced with writing songs that well yet! But I gotta let that one grow me though. I love Blink 182
you HAVE to hear angels and airwaves We dont need to whisper - I Empire and LOVE Pt 1 and 2
AVA is my favorite. Blink is my true love 🤘🏻
I would like to see your reaction of their new album "One More Time" or "Dude Ranch" that was released before "Enema Of The State"
MY FAVOURITE BLINK ALBUM REMEMBER GETTING IT DAY ONE GOING HOME AFTER WORK LISTING TOBIT AND I WAS AMAZED.
you also need to listen "not now" single and dogs eating dogs EP
