Episode Synopsis

For Record Club this week, Jake, Morgan, and Ryley are joined by regular guest Connor to discuss pop-punk stalwarts Blink-182's classic and beloved self-titled album, why it represented a pivotal shift for the band, and ultimately the endpoint of their creative evolution. We debate the merits of I Miss You at length and discuss how the band's desire to be taken seriously prompted many of the record's gestures toward "maturity", and the question of aging gracefully in a scene so defined by youthful angst.

Let us know what you think of this album in the comments on YouTube!
