Sum 41 - Underclass Hero
65

At last, it is what it is, a watered down pop punk record meant to be substantial. Guess what.

Sum 41 - Chuck
81

The kids came to play and played harder than anyone that would have a word against.

My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
82

A loveable, faster, gothier, darker record that'll turn the place on fire.

blink-182 - The Mark, Tom & Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back
75

Hellacious live album that represents the craze they became. The joke banter can be funnier yet still come out as inadequate, but, it was blink at its finest.

Sum 41 - Half Hour of Power
70

They sound so diverse in here that'd made me say the only reason AKNF comes out as a best it's because of Fat Lip and In Too Deep. A classic canadian punk release.

American Hi-Fi - American Hi-Fi
45

I could sing along to some tracks, but to my taste got too bland.

Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler
72

A pop-punk classic by all means, short, two recognizable hits and a strong start. One of my faves from this era, although from the Sums, DTLI took the 1# spot a long time ago.

Edit: I used to sleep to this album. Somewhat still good, there's tracks that are literally filler. The album title does not deliver, you're welcome.

Simple Plan - No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls
20

This is the deepdown hole of the worst pop-punk could ever be. Pure songs for literally (not even teenagers) kids.

New Found Glory - Catalyst
47

Now, there are more hardcore-y tuned songs than the prior releases, but in here it is becoming less interesting and more cringeworthy.

77

A great evolving process that equiparates the following statement: they weren't made just to be your newest band cashing on the blink-sound formula. They came and delivered, not a AKNF part two, but a heavier side they were meant to take.

New Found Glory - Sticks and Stones
74

My Friends Over You is bigger than Hit Or Miss? All I know is that it stands out.

New Found Glory - New Found Glory
71

One of the remarkable albums of the genre.

Good Charlotte - Good Charlotte
56

C'mon, they have a bright future, buy Sony only wants all the milk.

blink-182 - NINE
50

Being honest, I hope it isn't a signal that future releases keep in touch to these fratlining modern pop equivalent of a Simple Plan CD. Some are jams, but still, leave that to the modern pop punk acts like TSSF and John Feldmann-caliber corporate generic bands.

blink-182 - California
65

Thank God for punk rock bands, and to be still youthful at heart. Bye, Delonge, thank you lots; welcome Matt Skiba. Skiba? Who the f--- is Matt Skiba?

The album grew on me, after ignoring the amount senseless hatred toward this newest addition. Tom didn't seem to continue with this rather than finishing the chapter and move on for more dreams of his. That's fine. I need him healthy and happy doing his thing.

When it comes to my relationship with California, it confirmed what I always knew: ... read more

blink-182 - Neighborhoods
72

Not as a strong of a comeback album as it was expected but criminally underrated. Its biggest flaws are found in co-frontman Tom Delonge, insecure to as fail or to succeed at bettering the trio and the feel to protagonize another record to feel fullfilled, it didn't stop Mark and Travis to not let it disrupt the whole procedure.

It doesn't require much words to tell they went through the glass ceiling and cemented themselves a gigantic wolfpack compared to the typical copycats they were/are associated with (that they're even responsible for paving the way). This, right here, holds up as a masterpiece.

Stellar record, Tom and Mark went at the very top, Travis... hands down, totally outstanding. This is Tom's record, btw. This is that blink-182 album regarded as a magnum opus, which also contributed to their demise ... read more

They leveled up their game a bit far from Cheshire Cat, crafting an perfect balance between pop-punk and fully skaty punk rock. And always opening albums with off-kilter moshing jams. If Pathetic was a girl, I'll marry her as other guys will make an ass of me talking about how Dumpweed is lights years ahead. The ground was already set to make the next big step.

blink-182 - Cheshire Cat
70

Coming in with an Screeching Weasel/NOFX/Descendents love, these suburban youngins delivered adolescence simplicity mixed with raw skate-y punk tunes that'll make you grab your board and ran away to live without any worries, except the girl you're trying to fall in love while dropping corny jokes. Their potential is there but the road is still far so work has to be done. Good debut.

blink-182 - Take Off Your Pants And Jacket
78

It holds up to this day as a definite example of the genre. And the cleaniest, cheesiest of their catalog that prepares them for a nosedive into the unknown. I wanted to say that it was weaker (due to the jokey skits), but it can be passable if you just wanna have fun.

"Best emo album of all time? That's a reach, my friend. Influential during the 2010s, I can give you that, but that was just another album when it came out in 1999. The scene particularly cared more about Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids and The Promise Ring. American Football was pretty much unknown until the internet knew this album existed."
