If you ever heard enema of the state then you will know what to expect power/pop punk played by three cheeky guys who like to run naked and hang out with midgets. In my opinion its not there best i think dude ranch wins that one but it sure is a good record and has the songs to prove this, like 'rock show' which is the first they are releasing and an amazing song which is good to play bass to i havent listened to it all that much so i cant really talk about the bass playing to much but i do know that if you do play bass to blink and try out this album you will be very tired which is another reason why mark hoppus is a very good bass player. There has been alot of money put into this record and it shows with songs like 'first date' with irresistable lines and 'story of a lonely guy' which could stir up the mosh pit a bit but overall this is a good record and worth a look
