A few years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine the members of Blink 182 occupied with anything that didn't involve poop jokes and pixilated private parts. Now Tom DeLonge is channeling early U2 with Angels and Airwaves while former bandmates Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have reunited as +44, another numerical band named after the international calling code for the United Kingdom. The twitchy punk rhythms, adolescent accented vocals, and blockbuster choruses of their former outfit remain, as does producer Jerry Finn, but songs like "Baby Come On" and the spooky "Little Death" show the musicians finally delivering the substance that was promised on Blink 182's self-titled 2003 release. "A little death makes life more meaningful," Hoppus sings on that latter. --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews

Punk Perfect
This album is a clear indication that the song writing talents in Blink 182 belonged to Mark Hoppus. Free of De Longe's whiny vocals +44 blast out fast, catchy pop punk classics at full speed. It took 3 listens to fall in love with this album, and it easily outclasses the offerings by Angels and Airwaves. A genre classic.

Blink hit puberty
I am not a huge Blink fan, however I do like this CD alot. It sounds like a grown up version of Blink. As the title suggests, the lyrical content deals much with love and heartache. In addition to more mature lyrics, the music shows that they have progressed very much, they experiment more with their sound than they have in the past, which is great.

I look forward to their followup CD.

on the same level as Blink182's Enema of the State
I got this CD because I'm a fan of Travis Barker's drumming. When Your Heart Stops Beating has the same vibe as Blink's Enema, but I think it's a little better. I like the +44 songs better than Blink's. This album is packed with powerful punk pop, and is an easy listen all the way through for me. I wish Carol Heller stayed on as their full time singer I'd like to hear that combination. Or at least if she was half-time singer that would be a cool mix. If you like Blink182, Green Day, or other "pop punk" this is a great CD to check out. Standout tracks include Lycanthrope, Baby Come On, When Your Heart Stops Beating, Make You Smile.
