Full review
This is Blink 182's last independant label release and easily their best album. Every song on this album is a model of how pop punk should be. My personal favourites are 'Pathetic' and 'Dick lips'. 'Pathetic' is the first song on the album and is a perfect example of the super fast, super melodic songs that Blink are famed for, which appear in force on this release and will get you amped for extreme sports or a night out. 'Dick lips' is a slower song and is one of the more emotional on Dude ranch. The selection of songs is perfectly balanced with alot of very funny songs about, among other things, relationships with animals, aswell as some more serious ones. The speed of the tunes ranges from moderately slow to super sonic light speed (I think thats around about 100 billion miles a second- The drummer must get really tired!). This is the album that got Blink signed to a major label. I've been listening to it for three years now and it is still one of my favourites. This is Blink at their best, don't miss out, buy it today!!!!!
