Modern Minstrels

Blink-182

I picked up the new Blink-182 album last weekend, and have been enjoying it ever since. Although Tom and Travis's side project Box Car Racer may never release another album, you can definitely hear Box Car Racer influences on the new Blink CD. Gone is the toilet humor from some (not all) of their previous tracks and in is its place are songs a lot more about life. The CD comes with 6 music videos (made just for the CD) of various songs. One of my favorite things about the CD is in the booklet, along with the lyrics, the band members comment about each of the songs. They offer insight into the lyrics, how the songs were recorded, what instruments were used, etc. All very interesting stuff.
