BY ISABELLE RIVALETTO Chronicle staff This year Blink 182 released their fourth full- length album entitled Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. Blink 182 formed In 1993. In 1994 they released their first full- length album, Cheshire Cat, and made their big break in 1997 with the release of their album, Dude Ranch. The bouncy melodies and happy lyrics were enough to get most fans hooked from the beginning. Although their 1999 album Enema of The State gained them a great deal of mainstream popularity, they still hadn't fully matured musically. But Take Off Your Pants And Jacket has just the edge they needed. Unlike their previous albums, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket is not jam packed with humor- ous lyrics and lightheart- ed, melodies but it's still distinctly Blink. This is the hardest and fastest record they have ever done, and is turning out to be an evolutionary hybrid for Blink 182. It is as hooky as Enema of the State, but with all the punk spirit of Dude Ranch. It may not exhibit much of the previous lightheartedness that brought them their fame to begin with, but it is definitely a musical step forward for this band. The new harder lyrics, and faster guitar riffs set it in a world apart from their previous records. When you are feeling sad or a bit down, a little listen to some Blink will bring you right back up again. I strongly urge you to try the Blink 182 experience for yourself. 20 THE CHRONICLE October 2, 2001
