The first full length album eminating from those So-Cal kids blink-182. For lots of fans it has been decsribed as blink's best before they 'sold out'.
Throughout all of blink's career they have started off their albums with good songs. And this is no different. Carousel is a great started with an amazing bass intro. Albeit a bit longer than your average, but once it gets down to the nitty gritty it's one of the best on the album. Lyrically, its no genius, but any teenager can relate to the subject and although the recording is far from perfect (Tom's voice is quite bad =P) it's a song one can't help but like.
The next best song in my opinion is M&Ms - This was the only song released as a single off Cheshire Cat. It opens with a guitar solo (unusual for Tom) before Mark kicks in the verse. Alot of the songs on this record you can easily relate to as a teen and here you can connect with the lyrics really easily. 'My love life was getting so bland, there's only so many ways I can make love with my hand' No-one but blink could pull that off.
Overall it makes a good blink album. If you can't abide their immaturity then it DEFINATLY won't change your opinion of them. But if, like me, you we're a fan of their later albums then i would recommend this to all of you. It's not groundbreaking but to a blink fan its a must. X
