| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Terrific sales of their independent Cheshire Cat got Blink-182 signed to a major label (MCA) for 1997's Dude Ranch, which led to radio hits ("Dammit," "Josie") and platinum sales. No "sell-out" on the band's part, though, as Dude Ranch simply features another infectious collection of snotty vocals, punchy rhythms, vivid lyrics, and aggressive chords. San Diego producer Mark Trombino shines some of the scuffed edges, but this is still good ol' Blink at its sunny, effervescent best. Nice "emocore" spoof here ("Emo"), plus an odd knack for crafting bass-lines that recall--seriously!--New Order, and vocal harmonies that owe debts to the Beach Boys. --Mark Woodlief

Blink Rules!!! May 17, 2001 17 out of 21 found this review helpful
I love this cd. It's that simple. I can listen to it over and over and not get bored of it. I own Chesire Cat, Buddha, this, Enema of the State, and I've already pre-ordered Take Off Your Pants & Jacket. Most of this cd is talking about serious things like growing up and stuff like that, but Voyuer and Degenerate are funny. Here are the songs and what I think of them:1. Pathetic- A great song with nice guitar, although Tom sounds like he's going through puberty. 8/10 2. Voyuer- This is my favorite song on the cd. The drums really stand out. 10/10 3. Dammit- A good song, but I've heard it too much. 7/10 4. Boring- Short but sweet. 8/10 5. Dick Lips- A slower song with a fast chorus, one of my favorite tracks. 9/10 6. Waggy- Another one of my favorites. It shows what skill Mark has in singing. 9/10 7. Enthused- One of the best guitar intros I've ever heard. A good song. 8/10 8. Untitled- Starts off slow and kicks into a good fast punk song. 8/10 9. Apple Shampoo- I love this song. It is a true punk song. 10/10 10. Emo- The only song that I can skip while listening; I don't know why, but I just don't like it.5/10 11. Josie- Very nice. The song is nice, and so is the girlfriend they're talking about.( girls, start taking notes) 10/10 12. A New Hope- Kinda wierd how Mark is fantasizing about Princess Leah. Oh, well, a good song anyway.(I love the Guitar solo) 7/10 13. Degenerate- This is soooo funny! Don't get any ideas, though. 9/10 14. Lemmings- This song has the most cussing on the cd(they say... twice and... once). A good song. 9/10 15. I'm Sorry- A good song, but the hidden track at the end is the best part! 10/10 Bascally, if you like Blink, buy this.
Enter: Blink 182 January 3, 2000 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is Blink 182's second best album (to Chesire Cat), and it is when they first begin to get recognized. This cd still has the little crack in's which were featured in Chesire Cat, such as at the end of "Boring," "Untitled," and "I'm Sorry." The band's singles: Dammit, and Josie, are very good, but there are better songs on the cd. The language is borderline, but hey, thats what makes some of it funny! This cd is very good, if you have "Enema Of The State" and especially like "Dumpweed" and "Dysentary Gary" you will love this cd. This is pretty much a must in every music lovers collection, and if you are looking for not-quite-hardcore punk you will love this.
Dude Ranch is the best Blink-182 CD ever! December 3, 1999 12 out of 15 found this review helpful
Dude Ranch is a great album. Every song is really good once you listen to them all. This album is better than Enema of the State, because this one has a lot of meaning with growing up and relationships. My favorites are "Untitled," "Emo," "Pathetic," "Apple Shampoo," and "I'm Sorry." Though, I don't like "Voyeur" and "Degenerate" because they are supposed to be funny, but I think thses songs cut away from the band's credibility. Most people think Blink-182 is just some white punk band that makes funny videos, but pick this album up and you'll discover Blink-182 is a great band with a lot of meaning.
They had it . . . until some mula $ was waved in their faces November 26, 1999 10 out of 17 found this review helpful
I'm browsing around the cd store, checkin out some new punk bands, and I stumble across Blink 182's first album, Cheshier Cat. "I'll have to try this out", I thought to myself. I listened to it on the way home, and loved it. Already I was seeing big things ahead for this band. When I heard they were coming out with a new cd, I was first in line to get it.I was sorely dissappointed. This is living proof of what a band is willing to do for money. They completly changed their sound, they lost their "edge". Now you're seeing them on MTV and in movies. This is sellout material if I've ever seen it. They had the potential to be one of the best punk bands around, but they decided to come out with this junk and turn our music into a mainstream mocary.
Four and a half actually, but I guess I can't choose that... June 8, 2001 8 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is the music of the youth. If there's one band that specializes in putting the feelings and frustrations of the typical American teenager into music, it's blink-182, and if there's one alblum that they really did it well on, it was Dude Ranch. This is a great CD to listen to, unlike it's follow up, Enema of the State, Dude Ranch doesn't get old. Everyone's heard "Dammit", but who's tired of it? It's a great song, maybe the best youth anthem of all time, and it's not the only one on this CD, "Dick Lips", "Enthused", "Apple Shampoo" and "Waggy" are all songs that just might remind you of your immature, juvenile self and all the... you go through on a daily basis. Songs like peeping Tom Delonge's perverted "Voyeur" (probably the second best song on this CD), "Degenerate" and "A New Hope", (Mark's fantasies about Princess Leia in a song) all add some great laughs to this disc. Not to mention that Dude Ranch is much more punk than Enema of the State, which is what blink has always aimed for. They may be on TRL with the Backdoor Boys and N'SUCK, but blink-182 is still a punk band. Don't believe it? You probably haven't heard Dude Ranch yet, you might wanna get it...
