Blink-182 Albums Ranked

Blink-182 is an American rock band formed in Poway, California in 1992. Since 2015, the lineup of the band has consisted of bass guitarist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. Founded by Hoppus, guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Scott Raynor, the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor.

Blink-182 is considered a key group in the development of pop punk; the band’s combination of pop music melodies with fast-paced punk rock featured a more radio-friendly accessibility than prior bands. The trio has sold over thirteen million albums in the United States, and over 50 million albums worldwide. In 2011, The New York Times asserted, “no punk band of the 1990s has been more influential than Blink-182”, and even as the band receded after its 2005 split, “its sound and style could be heard in the muscular pop punk of Fall Out Boy or in the current wave of high-gloss Warped Tour punk bands, like All Time Low and The Maine.” Here are all of Blink-182’s albums ranked.

8. Cheshire Cat (1995)

“I believe this album came out when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school; so it’ll always have a place in my music collection. The sonics weren’t the best, but that didn’t matter because it was loud and melodical. The sound takes me back to the mid nineties house parties we used to have where some crappy band would be playing in the back yard or living room.”

7. Dude Ranch (1997)

“Here is a list of the top 5 songs on the cd in order of the worst (which isnt bad at all) to the best:

1 I’m sorry: a slower song. the end is hillarous, and u get 2 hear Mark’s amazingly deep and low voice.

2 Pathetic: a fast song that Mark and Tom both sing.

3 Degenerate: a funny song. its about when tom got arrested for drinking. the farmer thing seems sorta fishy though.

4 Josie: One of my fav songs. theres 2 much of the chorus, though.

5 definetly the best song on the cd. i can explain why marks singing is strange. he wrote the song out of his vocal range. he had to strain his voice. his smoking was also messing up his voice. eventually he lost it. he went to a doctor and quit smoking and was ok. i no this from their bio (tales from beneath ur mom)

All in all, this is a great cd.”

6. California (2016)

“I’m glad Blink is back. It’s not the same without Tom but none the less it’s better than no Blink at all. Catchy tunes, worth the ten bucks. I don’t like the complainers dissing it because it doesn’t sound like old Blink. How can it with a brand new band member? Stop the whining and enjoy it, be glad they are back making good music. It’s not like I spent 100 bucks on the album. I’ve blown ten bucks on Taco Bell that lasted ten minutes. This will last me a lifetime. Buy it, enjoy it, and wait for more!”

Nine (2019)

“This is a really good album and you will enjoy it if you are a fan of Blink. If you liked the last album, California, then you will like this one but just not as much. California was fantastic with a bunch of songs that got stuck in my head and a few little joke tracks. Nine seems like it is just lacking somewhere even if I can’t quite put my finger on it. Still enjoy the album and want to support the band.”

4. Neighborhoods (2011)

“I’m biased. I’m a big fan. I won’t rate each song, as many have already done so here. Don’t listen to those that bemoan that blink is not the same. I echo those that comment they like that blink has matured past some of the juvenile lyrics. (Not that I didn’t enjoy it at the time – but hey – if you’ve been fans since their inception, we were closer to our teens at that time, so it was okay.) This is the same talented blink, with the same catchy music that makes you want to speed down the highway smacking your steering wheel and getting amped up. It would be boring to not evolve as they have! I respect them and appreciate their music just as much. Don’t get me wrong – this music is by NO means resigning to the Top 40 channel. Blink is still awesome, and I’m happy to finally get my fix after so long!”

3. Blink-182 (2003)

“First off, this is not the Blink of old. Sure, there are the occasional recognizable 4-chord loud songs that you like to bang your head to, but they’ve matured and started out from scratch. In an interview, they stated that they wanted to experiment and try new genres with their skills. They didn’t fail with this album.

I have to say, this album grew on me. At first the change caught me off guard and I had to get used to their new style. Once I got into it, I was hooked and haven’t stopped listening to it since. Highlights include: Always, Feeling This, I Miss You, and Violence.

If you like Blink’s older albums, be sure to give this one a try.”

2. Take Off Your Pants And Jacket (2001)

“Blink-182 sticks to the winning formula of past efforts Dude Ranch and Enema of the State on Jacket, an extremely well-produced, hard-hitting exercise in pre-pubescent punk rock that will no doubt sell millions to throngs of misguided juveniles who relate to the band’s piss takes on life’s everyday miseries.”

1. Enema Of The State (1999)

“They say looks can be decieving and I think I’ve found another example in the alt/pop/punkers Blink 182. While the artwork and the bands’ surf slacker persona may indicate “music for little league boys”, the lyrical content, supreme musicianship, and overall true to life spirit quickly squash any preconcieved notions. Blink 182 is simply for any die hard rock fan who loves passionate and honest music. I find this CD coated with with the bleeding hearts of the songwriting duo of Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus. The tales of lost, dying, and lustful love combined with a little playful angst can cause the listener to play and replay this record again and again, especially while driving a motor vehicle! The tracks “Dumpweed”, “Adam’s Song”, “What’s My Age Again” and “Wendy Clear” are just some standouts, but it’s safe to say, every song on this album is a standout. Backed by a phenomenal drummer in Travis Barker, Blink 182 flex their muscle, cry for truth and answers, and transcend any category they might be associated with.”
