Blink-182 were always a singles band, and you'd likely be surprised how well you know the songs revisited here. After all, at the height of their popularity, the pop-punk trio's hits were as overexposed as any Britney track. This comp runs chronologically, allowing the limited fan to decide which phase was the annoying one; was it their too-pop, too-juvenile breakouts "What's My Name Again?" and "All The Small Things"? Or maybe their recent self-titled stab at being serious? Blink spent their career walking the precarious tightrope that is pop-punk, sometimes swinging wildly to either side — goofy shit or Punk-with-a-capital-P. Still, credit is due — they were always on in the background and occasionally worth complete attention.
