The Best and most Punk Blink-182 Album March 24, 2000 Super Mendel (NC) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the best Blink-182 album without a doubt! It's much more original than their lastest album and the drums are much better. It has one of my fovorite songs of all time--Carousel. M+M's is also one of Blink-182's best. If you like Punk, then this is definitely the Blink-182 CD for you.
Their best yet December 7, 1999 John McKay (Flint, MI USA) 76 out of 100 found this review helpful
It's not Blink's fault that they are sell-outs... Blame the trendy pop top 40 stations and MTV... they have played blink's music with the gay boy bands. I still think EotS is a great CD, just incredibly trendy now.... this is their best album available and I highly suggest buying it. Dude Ranch seems to only have one sound throughout the entire CD, and that gets old (don't get me wrong, that's a great CD, too) But this is by far the best, with such lesser-known hits as Wasting Time, M & M's, Carousel, Strings, Does My Breath Smell?, Touchdown Boy, and several others.... their great songwriting took a backseat to joke songs soon after, with the exception of Dude Ranch's Dammit and I'm Sorry and EotS's Adam's Song and Going Away to College. If you are new to the spectacle that is blink 182, you'll be pleasantly surprised with this CD... it has a much different sound than their newer stuff and it has a great variety to it. You'll be laughing your arse off the entire time, too with "Depends" and "Ben-Wah-Balls"

Those were the days... August 25, 2001 Franky (Seattle, WA USA) 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
This truly is a great album, definitely Blink 182's best ever. The cds Enema of The State and Take off your Pants and Jacket pale in comparison to this rockin cd. Cheshire Cat was back when Blink put some serious effort and emotion into their songs, instead of just banging out poppy, sugar-coated punk that TRL will just love. They are actually funny in this album, but actually have more serious songs than joke songs. They show off an astounding brand of pop-punk and even blending a little emo and ska. My favorite track is Cacophony. It is a soulfoul (yes I am talking about Blink 182!), slower, awesome song. The lyrics are easily to relate to, especially for guys, and you can't help but bob your head and sing along. Other great songs include= Carousel- Rad guitar work, I love the slow beginning eventually blending into a full blown punk song, Wasting Time- A love song, really good, masterful guitars (back when Mark and Tom actually knew how to play them), Ben Wah Balls- Funny song, with great drums courtesy of Scott Raynor, and some ska/punk mixed in, and last but not least, M+Ms- The guitars immediately hooked me, but the lyrics are romantic and hilarious at the same time. So, as you can tell, I love this cd, so buy it if you are a true punk fan. People who like Enema will probably not like this true masterpiece of pop-punk. Good listen, even for a hardcore fan.
a facinating prelude to Dude Ranch... January 22, 2000 Foxx (somewhere in the dark shadows of New England...) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
I must admit after listening to their three album releases and most of Buddha, Cheshire Cat is their album I still keep in my stero. Dude Ranch had addicting guitar riffs and rythm, but the songs were pretty uninspired, if catchy. and Enema Of The State is a highly polished, refined Blink 182 who have still managed to keep their original sense of humor and wit as in Dude Ranch, but lost most of their style in favor of a sanitized pop-punk style.I can truley say without a doubt that this is their best album. notable songs include the opening track "Carousel", "M+Ms" (which is overhyped), "Peggy Sue", "Cacophony", "Wasting Time", and last but certainly not least, "Romeo and Rebecca". not only are the songs on this album the wittiest they've done, but the style is captivating and distant enough from Dude Ranch that most of the songs linger long in your memory. intrestingly, some of the best songs are played in the exact trademarked Dude Ranch style, but have more oomph and are among a more varied crowd that they exeed most of the songs on Dude Ranch (cheak out that last verse in "Cacophony" and most of "Does My Breath Smell?"). not to say that Dude Ranch is a bad album, it's worth your time, but if you wish to hear Blink 182 at their best, go grab Cheshire Cat. I would, however, recomend purchasing their albums in reverse order (starting with Enema and working back to Buddha) if you want the full effect of Blink 182's ever-changing style. Foxx gives it five stars. yes he does.
