The reissue of Blink-182's self-titled album celebrates its legacy as a pivotal moment for the band, marking a departure from their pop-punk roots into a darker and more experimental sound. Originally released in 2003, this album showcased a blend of punk, post-hardcore, and even art rock influences, highlighted by hits like "Feeling This" and "I Miss You." The reissue includes a remastered version on double vinyl, featuring expanded artwork, a gatefold sleeve, and a 12-page booklet.
The record is renowned for its adventurous production and introspective lyrics, with songs like "Stockholm Syndrome" and "Down" delving into themes of alienation and yearning. Notably, it features a collaboration with Robert Smith of The Cure on "All of This," a track that underlines the album's moody and atmospheric shift. This reissue is both a nostalgic nod and a celebration of the band's artistic growth.
