Blink-182 (album)

Blink-182 (also referred to as the untitled album) is the fifth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on November 18, 2003, by Geffen Records. Following the blockbuster success of their last two albums, Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, the trio went on hiatus and participated in various side projects including Box Car Racer and Transplants. When they regrouped, they decided to approach their next album by placing more attention on song structure and musical arrangements. Their longest album, it marks a shift toward a darker, more expansive and complex sound; its interconnected songs and cinematic structure blur the lines between pop-punk and post-hardcore.
