Review - :
Not too much has changed since we last left {$Blink-182}. You might hear the same snap, crackle, and pop that the trio has prided themselves on for almost ten years. There's even the continual cabbage-patch screech of {$Tom Delonge} and support for rampant teen angst. But five albums later, these San Diego natives grab their rosy-cheek punkadelics and add a bit more of a flamboyant, passionate maturation on {^Take off Your Pants and Jacket}. When {^Enema of the State} leapt onto the charts in 1999, the lyrical direction was 90 percent party-boy mentality, leaving little room for traces of a growth spurt. And while we're still feeling the continual back-drip of tracks from {^Enema}, the fresh plethora of tunes from these rambunctious {@Toys-R-Us} rockers have more purpose than ever. With a fight-for-your-right joviality that's often irresistible, songs like {&"Anthem Part 2"} and {&"Stay Together for the Kids"} house a indomitable school-kid voice where a surging vapor of knock-out speed chords meet wrecking-ball percussion. The meanings are bucketed and spilled with lines like, "If we're f*cked up/You're to blame" ({&"Anthem Part 2"}). And forget about escaping lyrics such as "I'll never talk to you again/Unless your dad 'ill suck me off," which stems from the hilarious, almost brilliant 42-second clash called {&"Happy Holidays, You Bastard."} {&"First Date"} and {&"Roller Coaster"} are only a couple of their tunes that act as therapy for post-pubescent dilemma, also present on previous efforts like {^Enema} and {^Dude Ranch}. Each song about the rotten girlfriend or unhip parent speaks loud and often to the 2000 {@MTV} generation. Nevertheless, the dumped-in-the-amusement-park tone and lyrical progression are sharp, if not entertaining. The band's stint on {~the Vans Warped Tour}, with veteran punksters such as {$Pennywise} and {$Rancid}, has become a supreme outlet for {$Blink-182}. {^Take off Your Pants} is one of their finest works to date, with almost every track sporting a commanding articulation and new-school {\punk} sounds. They've definitely put a big-time notch in the win column. [The Australian release contains extra tracks.] ~ Darren Ratner, All Music Guide
