{"product_id":"blink-182-enema-of-the-state-cd","title":"blink-182 - Enema Of The State [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnema of the State is where blink-182 traded San Diego skate-punk scrappiness for hooks big enough to fill arenas, and this is the album on CD in its enhanced edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1999, it was the trio's first album with drummer Travis Barker, whose speed and precision gave Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge a far sharper engine to sing over. Producer Jerry Finn polished every chorus without sanding off the band's juvenile grin, and the result set the template for pop-punk for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe singles still land with full force. \"What's My Age Again?\" turns arrested development into a shout-along, while \"All the Small Things\" is a genuine love song dressed up as a send-up of boy-band excess. Then there's \"Adam's Song,\" a sober look at loneliness that proved this band could do far more than toilet humour, dropped right into the middle of the running order without warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"Dumpweed\" kicks the door in at full tilt, and the album barely pauses for breath across twelve tracks of buzzing guitars, harmonised hooks and teenage confessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who grew up with these songs on repeat, this CD is a direct line back to 1999. For anyone hearing it for the first time, it's a lesson in how to write a three-chord chorus that never leaves your head.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518446838065,"sku":"008811195021","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/blink-182-Enema_Of_The_State_CD.jpg?v=1794678460","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/blink-182-enema-of-the-state-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
