I have been a huge fan of blink since the late ’90s and have been waiting a long time for this one to be released. And today, on the 182nd of the year, we are presented with “California”. Their 7th studio album.

I was worried that this album wouldn’t be as exciting as the likes of “Take Off Your Pants And Jacket” or “Enema Of The State”, but this just keeps getting better with every listen. I have listened to it 3 – 4 times so far today and it is the right combination of jokey stuff along with the new direction that Blink have been heading these past few years. Excellent!

Thank you Matt Skiba for stepping in when you did, you have done the band justice! Good ridance, Tom. You’ve made a huge mistake by distancing yourself from this…

Buy it if you haven’t already.

Happy Blink-182 day, everyone!
