Blink-182Blink-182 is a self titled or untitled album, by the band of the same name and their last full-length record before an ongoing hiatus. Recorded under the working title of Use Your Erection I & II (a pun of Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion albums), the album was released through Geffen Records on November 18, 2003. The album includes guest vocals by The Cure's Robert Smith on the track "All of This". At almost 50 minutes long, it is Blink-182's longest studio album. It is said that this album represents a more "mature" Blink than been having seen in the past, such as not having the album contain any toilet humor or joke songs. It was somewhat of a departure from their previous musical atmosphere, the album was described as a "self-meditation on romantic decay."[citation needed] Mark Hoppus, the bassist for the band said in an interview with MTV Album Launch, that the desired effect of the album was for people to listen to it and say "Wait a minute...that's Blink-182?" The band infused experimentalist elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (Mark, Tom and Travis all became fathers before the album was released) and side-projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants). Despite having very high airplay from radio and music video channels, the album sold 313,000 copies in its first week debuting #3 on the charts in the United States, which was less than their previous album Take off Your Pants and Jacket, which sold more than 350,000 copies in its first week and topped the charts. It was also met with mixed reviews from critics and fans.

Lyrics: I Miss You - Blink-182
(I miss you miss you)
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in backround of the morgue
The unsespecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never end
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head(6x)
I miss you miss you(6x)

Very nice review. I was quite surprised myself at the departure from all their silly humor. I am in no way disappointed. The self-titled album is jam-packed with new classics like Always 182 and I Miss You. Great stuff as usual.
