When Your Heart Stops Beating
2006 Interscope
Mark Hoppus - Bass, Vocals
Craig Fairbaugh - Guitar, Backing Vocals
Shane Gallagher - Guitar
Travis Barker - Drums
When I first picked up this album last November, the best way to describe my feelings was that I was shaking in excitement. It had been, after all, three years since the other two members of blink-182 released some new material. I read in interviews that it wasn't going to be "electronically tinged" like originally promised, and I was mildly dissapointed, but still very excited to take a listen.
So what did I think of the album? It was mostly good. It was fantastic to hear Mark's voice again, and he'd obviosuly taken it to the next level with this album. He simply sounds fantastic on this CD. The lyrics are his best yet, as well as his melodies. The bass is perfect. Travis Barker's drumming is excellent, even if it doesn't quite reach the level that he did in 2001's Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. Carol's vocals in Weatherman and Make You Smile were a wonderful touch, and Baby Come On was obviosuly one of the best songs of the year.
However, the album had one serious pitfall: the guitar work. Like... damn. The guitars in songs such as 155 are so brutally uncreative I wanted to stab myself in the ears. Even the guitar parts that seem ildly creative are actually quite complex. It was very dissapointed. I don't know if it was Hoppus who wrote these guitar parts before he had some real guitarists on board or what but it simply needs some work.
In short, Mark Hoppus' vocal and lyrical mastery saved thsi album from being a mess. For example, his fantastic melody on 155 simply salvaged that song and actually made it good.
3.5/5
Best Song: BABY COME ON
Worst Song: CLIFF DIVING
ps I'm going to rate blink-182 (untitled), BT2 and Black Parade tommorow! Everyone should get invovled and post some album reviews for stuff that we've never heard before, widen our musical boundaries, ya? Ya. Plus it's fun to write.

ok, so this is seriously one of the best albums ive ever listened to. i know its one of those albums i can pop in anytime, and immediately relate to the music, and never get tired of. From the first track, Tautou, to Play Crack the Sky, its all simply amazing. Jesse Lacey's vocals, are so soothing and incredible at the same time. It has some of the best lyrics i've ever heard. Overal, it's such an amazing album.

a great album; a little mental, but an instant classic.
full of powerful and emotional songs about the end of the world (cheery stuff, isnt it? )

Blink 182 last album this one shows maturity of the band in their songs maybe this ones is considered their best job but not in the commercial way.
