Blinkin' rocking CD from the 182 crew.......2002-08-09
"Dumpweed," the two singles "What's My Age Again" and "All The Small Things" are , but the rest of the songs have such equal merit that they could just as well have been singles, plus they are distinguishable from each other. A goofily immature picture is painted in "What's My Age Again" on the protagonist turning on the TV just as the girl is ready for some sex. The immaturity of this guy is well-portrayed here.
The alien abduction/CIA conspiracies are explored in "Aliens Exist." Lyrically, there are some key lines that elicit a raised and impressed eyebrow. "Going Out To College" is sung from the p.o.v. of a clumsy geek in college: "The world's an ugly place/but you're still beautiful to me." And the preceding line is a moment of awkward sincerity: "And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine/Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody" And in "Dysentery Gary," the frustration at losing a girl to a slimeball results in the lyric: "F--- this place, I lost the war, I hate you all, your Mom's a whore."
"Adam's Song" tackles the topic of suicide with lyrics veering from serious "I'm too depressed to go on/You'll be sorry when I'm gone" to goofy "Remember the time I spilled the cup/of apple juice in the hall."
Party life is the theme on "The Party Song" and "Anthem." Shallow, false image giving, game playing, 'look but you can't touch' girls are trashed in the former to my delight. Rebellion against inattentive parents are touched on in the latter. The four bonus live tracks on this import rival the energy of the MT&T show.
As for the bonus disc, it has "All The Small Things" and four live tracks. Like the other bonus live tracks on disc one, it offers a lot more of what the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show would be chock full of, such as Tom's trademark funny, pottie-mouthed dialogue. However, these live versions are of lesser calibre than even the bonus tracks on disc one. One funny point is raised on Tom's inability to remember their set. Mark tells him "That's the kind of s--t that gives you five more minutes of talking." Oh, so THAT's his secret.
Normally, a punk album ends being the same blast of sound and fury that around the fourth or fifth song, the viewer may tune out. Enema is so charged with such energy that it proves to be the exception to the rule, and that in itself is quite a feat. Great goin' guys! Oh, and extra points for cover girl Janine! She can examine me anytime!
This is the best cd in the whole wide world!.......2000-05-22
Amazing Live Work + the Great Studio Album.......2000-05-02
This Albums second CD is a live one, and Blink sure does an increadable job preforming. Check out Damnit on the live tract, it is really cool.
