Dude Ranch is the sound of blink-182 graduating from local heroes to national contenders, presented here on CD.

Released in 1997, the band's second studio album found Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and drummer Scott Raynor working with producer Mark Trombino on their first major-label backed release. The songs are faster, tighter and more melodic than their earlier material, while keeping the goofy sense of humour that had already won them a loyal following on the Southern California skate scene.

"Dammit" is the breakout, a bittersweet break-up song with a chorus that seems to have been written for shouting along in a crowded car. "Josie" is a cheerful ode to the perfect girlfriend, and "Apple Shampoo" bursts with youthful energy and longing. "Pathetic" opens the album at a sprint, setting a pace the band barely slows across fifteen tracks.

Underneath the jokes there's real heart, with songs about insecurity, heartbreak and growing up that would become the band's signature. Raynor's drumming is tight and frantic, and this would be his last full album with the group before Travis Barker joined.

For anyone who loves classic 1990s pop-punk, Dude Ranch is a cornerstone. It's scrappy, sincere and endlessly fun, a reminder of the band's roots before arenas came calling.
