Dude Ranch - Blink 182 > Reviews

Advantages: a good song
Disadvantages: none

...of the reasons I bought Dude Ranch. A live in LA version of this track can be found on the What's my age again? single CD 1. The drumming sound outstanding with the guitar work and lyrics. All the extra drum beats are in time with the lyrics.Tom sings the whole song but Mark does cut in repeating a few of the words. There is a little ending dialogue: Ahhhhhhh.........(a few girls screaming) (then Mark's deep voice cuts in with) What? It'll ... Read review

Advantages: Raw sound
Disadvantages: are there any?

Many Blink-182 fans will tell you that this is Blink-182 at their best, and it is very difficult to argue. A 15 track album with some good fast tracks and also with many humerous unterludes and subjects. Main tracks from this album are 'Dammit' and 'Josie' - both released in the US and helped to gain Blink-182 the majority of their pre-enema fans. This Album was done before the band was fully signed up to a major label and so the production ... Read review

Advantages: Something new, addictive
Disadvantages: Too crazy?

I believe that Blink 182 are the biggest thing to happen to Punk Rock since Green Day arrived. Both "Dude Ranch" and "Enema of the State" are excellent albums, with my preference going to "Dude Ranch" as it is less commercial and more "raw". Because of the UK pop-orientated market, Blink 182's releases - "What's My Age Again", "All The Small Things" and to-be "Adam's Song" are all good tracks, but for punk rock fans the top tracks on "Enema ...

Dude ranch is blinks, maybe even the, best album ever. There is one fault none of the songs beat Adams Song. Allthough this album was realesed in '95 it still is the great and greenday, less than jake and other alternate/ska bands should all aim for albums of equal quality as this. The song links are great and there are some dead funny things in there. Songs on the album include Dammit, Untitled, Josie, A new hope and Degenerate all of which are ... Read review

This track is one of the main reasons I bought 'Dude Ranch'. It totally kicks ass! The guitar work in this track couldn't be much better. The drums play a bigger role in this track than they did in Pathetic. They play consistantly thoughout the whole track with really great sound in fills when the chourus comes around. Mark sings the whole of this track. The video for this track is really funny! It's all about Mark seeing his ex-girlfriend at the ... Read review

...from Blink 182's outstanding album, Dude Ranch. A live version from LA can be found on the What's my age again? single CD 1. This song is kind of a duet between Tom and Mark. I would say that Mark does more singing in this track. The guitar word in this track is particulally good. The drums don't do much, they are just sort of tapping along in the background. Lyrics: Mark: I know I'm pathetic, I knew when she said it Tom: A loser, a bum's ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing songs, pop/punk at its best
Disadvantages: none

Though my brain tells me that this is not in fact their best album, every time one of the songs comes onto the radio or I put it on I can't help turning up the volume and loving every second of it. Dude Ranch (the last album before Enema) is so brilliant, but this album seems to be so compelling I'm listening to it most of the time. Every song on this album seems to be of single caliber in its self. The song 'All the Small things' which got ... Read review

Advantages: great album
Disadvantages: urm

Blink 182: Dude Ranch: As I am a Blink 182 Fan I Know practically every track word for word. I think that the tracks on this album are not as good as the ones on Enema of The State or Take off Your Pants and Jacket… Pathetic: I mainly only play this song when some-one has annoyed me over something stupid because it is Pathetic. I love the drum beat in this song. Voyeur: Great guitar tune but the beat is a little too much for it. Dammit: ... Read review

Advantages: Fun and light
Disadvantages: Only for punk fans

...what they could do with Dude Ranch, a classic punk album. Every track is brilliant and is vintage Blink 182. The guitar and drums sound is pulled off to perfection, with some pounding riffs and thumping beats. A lot of ths is light-hearted and tongue in cheek, which is how the band work best. These tracks are fresh and upbeat and can be listened to over and over. This album is a great achievement for Blink 182, and heaven for all their fans. Punk ... Read review

Advantages: It's funny, fast and Blinks best ever album
Disadvantages: There aren't any

...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 ... Read review
