About
Blink-182's self-titled fourth album is all about change. Having achieved unprecedented success for a potty-mouthed pop-punk band, the trio aimed to switch up their sound here, adding elements of experimental rock and hip-hop. While "The Fallen Interlude" is a funky instrumental and "All of This" features a cameo from The Cure's Robert Smith, the band's impeccable sense of melody remains intact. "Feeling This" is as catchy as anything they've recorded, "I Miss You" contains the signature Blink mix of hooks and heart-on-sleeve lyrics, and "Down" is a midtempo rocker with an uncharacteristic yet inescapable chorus. The band went on hiatus after touring in support of this album, making it the capstone on a phenomenal run.

Blink-182 is the eponymously-titled fifth studio album by the American pop punk band Blink-182. It was produced by Jerry Finn, and was released on November 18, 2003 through Geffen Records. Recorded throughout 2003, Blink-182 marks a departure from the band's earlier work, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side projects.
Owing largely to pre-release hype about the revamped sound the band would display on this release, there is some debate as to whether the album was intended to be untitled (so as to discourage preconceptions and represent a new beginning) or self-titled. Amongst music publications and online stores it is most commonly referred to as being self-titled.
It was first released on CD, cassette, and for digital download in 2003. It was the first Blink-182 album released immediately for digital download outlets. Each CD was an enhanced CD, providing extra content (in this case, home-made music videos). In 2004, a European special edition collected the videos and many more in a CD/DVD package, in addition the original album. In 2010, independent label Mightier Than Sword released the album for the first time on vinyl (a very limited re-press followed in 2011). In 2015 the album was rereleased on cassette by SRC Vinyl. In 2016 SRC Vinyl released a remastered 2xLP on 180 gram vinyl.
