The album contains the hit singles "The Rock Show", "First Date" and "Stay Together for the Kids". Anthem Part 2 charted as well. The album has sold approximately 4.5 million records worldwide, while going double platinum in the US. The title is a tongue-in-cheek pun on male masturbation ("take off your pants and jack it"). The album was a huge success debuting at #1 and selling more than 350,000 copies in its first week on the Billboard 200 becoming the band's first and only album to do so, and is Blink-182's second best selling album. Upon release in 2001, vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus stated that the album was: the next step for Blink-182. There's songs on this record that sound like they come off of older records, like Cheshire Cat, songs that sound like they come off of Dude Ranch, songs that sound like they might come off of Enema of the State, and songs that are the next step altogether. I think it's a lot lighter scope than what [people] might expect from Blink-182. We have some real fast songs, some slower songs. Travis [barker] wanted to try some drum loops on this record. [We tried] different vocal effects, different arrangements, different rhythms. I think that this record will probably surprise some people. 1. "Anthem Part Two" 2. "Online Songs" 3. "First Date" 4.

ALL NON-STUDIO BLINK ALBUMS Buddha Released 1993 (Original) October 27, 1998 (Re-issue) Recorded 1993 at Double Time Studios in San Diego, California Genre Pop punk, punk rock, skate punk Length 32:30 Label Filter (Original) Kung Fu (Re-issue) Producer Blink-182 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/76/Blink-182_-_Buddha_28Original29.jpg Buddha is a Blink-182 album that was originally released in 1993 (though the reissue erroneously notes 1995) and released on CD for the first time in 1998. It was recorded over three rainy nights on a 24 track recording system at Double Time Studios in San Diego, California, according to the CD's liner notes. The album was one of the few Blink-182 albums released with the band name as Blink. The album was first released on cassette, but was later re-released on Kung Fu Records featuring a remix and remaster of the original album with different cover art and a different track listing. The remastered version was also available on cassette and vinyl, but is now out of print. According to the CD's liner notes on the reissue, the demo was originally released on a limited cassette tape with no title and a picture of Maitreya Buddha on the front. 1. "Carousel" 2:54 2. "T.V." 1:41 3. "Strings" 2:25 4. "Fentoozler" 2:06 5. "Time" 2:49 6. "Romeo & Rebecca" 2:34 7. "21 Days" 4:02 8. "Sometimes" 1:08 9. "Degenerate" 2:28 10. "Point of View" 1:11 11.

Released worldwide in 2000, only a million copies of this album were made. For those fans who discovered the band after its release, the CD became sought after by many and was renowned for its lack of availability. However, in July 2006 many copies appeared in shops like HMV[citation needed]. It has since then gone back into print in Australia since January 2007 with as many as 3 copies being in stock at JB Hi-Fi music outlets across the country packaged in the original Digipak with the original limited edition sticker. It is believed this was a move conducted by their former record label to combat scalpers of the original 2000 issue selling their old copies on online auction site eBay for hundreds of dollars a copy. Online retailer Amazon.com is sourcing new copies from Australia for sale through their website. The record is also available on the Scandinavian e-store CDON. The album contains songs from three of the band's studio albums: Cheshire Cat, Dude Ranch and Enema of the State, mainly focusing upon Enema tracks as they were currently touring that album release. "Man Overboard" was a newly released song, which soon became a single. It was originally written for the Enema of the State album, and is available on the Enema of the State Demo. Following "Man Overboard", the album returns to a live environment with twenty-nine hidden tracks collectively known as Words of Wisdom. These document examples of Mark and Tom's stage banter towards one another. Their toilet humor jokes are something the band was renowned for and are exampled here. The album also features previously unreleased material, including toilet humor songs, such as "Family Reunion" (released on Short Music for Short People in 1999), "Blow Job" and "The Country Song". "Dick Lips" is censored as "Rich Lips", and "Blow Job" is censored as "Blew Job" on the track listing. 1. "Dumpweed" 2:53 2. "Don't Leave Me" 2:38 3. "Aliens Exist" 3:43 4. "Family Reunion" 0:51 5.

It featured three main Transplants members, Tim Armstrong, Rob Aston and Travis Barker. The album was recorded in Tim's basement and also featured Matt Freeman (Rancid), Vic Ruggiero (The Slackers), Davey Havok (AFI) and Brody Dalle (The Distillers, then-wife of Tim). Brody sings on the track "Weigh On My Mind", which Tim then described as "their song". The singles, "Diamonds and Guns" and "D.J. D.J." quickly became MTV favourites and they received commercial success and critical acclaim. They followed up by touring with bands such as the Foo Fighters. The song "California Babylon" appeared on the soundtrack of Tony Hawk's Underground. UK alternative band Pop Will Eat Itself covered "California Babylon" halfway between their song Bulletproof (due to the similar sound of the song) on The Reformation tour in January 2005. The single "Diamonds and Guns" is played as the background music in most Garnier Fructis commercials. The song is edited with no lyrics except the chorus' "woo woo". tracklisting: 1.

It was released on June 21, 2005 and includes the radio hit "Gangsters & Thugs". The album sold close to 34,000 copies in its first week and came in at #28 on the Billboard 200. Despite the quick sales at first, many deem it to be a flop and a great disappointment after their self-titled album, probably because the album lacked a second single and a proper tour. This is also the very first rock album to be screwed and chopped, which was done by Paul Wall. tracklisting: 1. "Not Today" 2. "Apocalypse Now" 3. "Gangsters and Thugs" 4. "What I Can't Describe" 5.

It was released on May 20, 2006 in Australia, on May 22 in the UK, and on May 23 in North America. The album drew mixed reactions from critics, with a Metacritic average of 53. We Don't Need to Whisper was certified Gold in Canada (50,000 copies) in 3 days. It was certified Silver in the UK (60,000 copies) and sold over 127,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. A large number of fans pre-ordered the album, which may explain the high debut sales. As of August 16, 2008, the album has sold over 550,000 copies in the US alone. As of July 2007, it has sold over 800,000 copies worldwide. Reviews for the album have been mixed, but it nonetheless has been nominated and won more awards alone than any other of DeLonge's previous projects. The album is considered a concept album due to that fact that all the songs are part of the same story, revolving around the idea of finding love in the middle of a war zone. The next album, I-Empire, is said to be the continuation of this idea. tracklisting: 1. "Valkyrie Missile" 2. "Distraction" 3. "Do It for Me Now" 4. "The Adventure" 5. "A Little's Enough" 6.
