Our Take

In true BLINK-182 fashion, "Buddha" is a frenetic rollercoaster ride of adolescent angst and infectious energy. From the moment the opening chords of "Carousel" kick in, you're transported back to the simpler times of skate parks, punk rock shows, and questionable fashion choices.

Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge's signature vocal harmonies are on full display throughout the album, adding that extra layer of nostalgia for longtime fans. The fast-paced drumming of Scott Raynor keeps the tempo up, making it impossible not to tap your foot or do some impromptu air drumming.

Tracks like "F.E.M.A." and "Does My Breath Smell?" are the perfect blend of catchy pop-punk hooks and witty, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. It's clear that BLINK-182 are having a blast making music together, and it's infectious.

But it's not all fun and games on "Buddha." The band delves into deeper subjects like heartbreak and existential dread on tracks like "Toast and Bananas" and "Time." These moments of vulnerability add a surprising depth to the album, showing that BLINK-182 are more than just a one-trick pony.

Overall, "Buddha" is a classic slice of ‘90s punk rock that still holds up today. It's a reminder of a simpler time when all you needed was a skateboard, a pair of ripped jeans, and some killer tunes to feel alive. So grab your Walkman, slip on your Vans, and crank up the volume – BLINK-182 are back and better than ever.

About the artist

Blink-182

Blink-182 are the pop-punk pioneers who have been setting teenage hearts aflutter since the '90s. With their catchy hooks, infectious energy, and cheeky lyrics, this trio from California (yeah, we know, not exactly the punk mecca of the world) have managed to carve out a unique space in the alt-rock scene. Frontman Mark Hoppus, the eternal goofball with a penchant for dad jokes, leads the charge with his distinctive vocals and energetic stage presence. Guitarist Matt Skiba (formerly of Alkaline Trio) brings a darker, more brooding edge to the band's sound, while drummer Travis Barker is a veritable beast behind the kit, with lightning-fast beats and jaw-dropping chops. Their breakthrough album, "Enema of the State," catapulted Blink-182 into the mainstream with hits like "All the Small Things" and "What's My Age Again?" Since then, they've continued to churn out anthemic pop-punk gems that speak to the inner adolescence in all of us. But Blink-182 are more than just a nostalgia trip for late '90s kids. They've evolved with the times, experimenting with different styles and sounds while still maintaining their signature wit and charm. From the angst-ridden ballads of "Adam's Song" to the anthemic rockers of "Feeling This," Blink-182 have proven time and time again that they're more than just a one-trick pony. So whether you're a die-hard Blink fan from way back or a newcomer to their infectious brand of punk rock, there's no denying the enduring appeal of this irreverent trio. Blink-182 may have grown up (slightly) over the years, but their spirit of youthful rebellion and infectious energy remains as strong as ever.
