The 2016 reissue of Blink-182's California was a pivotal album that marked a new chapter for the band. It was their first release with Matt Skiba (of Alkaline Trio) replacing Tom DeLonge. Produced by John Feldmann, the album showcased a blend of the band’s signature pop-punk energy with more polished and accessible melodies. Tracks like “Bored to Death” and “She’s Out of Her Mind” became highlights, reflecting the band's ability to evolve while staying true to their roots.
This reissue, which includes tracks from the deluxe edition, adds several additional songs like “Parking Lot” and “Misery,” offering fans a fuller experience of the California era. The deluxe tracks explore themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and resilience, and demonstrate the band’s expanded creative range.
