Review

With "California," Blink-182 charge forward into uncharted territory, fueled by the addition of Matt Skiba on guitar and vocals after Tom DeLonge's departure. John Feldmann's production injects new electricity into the band's classic pop-punk formula, sharpening their hooks while maintaining the bratty, sun-bleached spirit at their core. Tracks like "Bored To Death" surge with crisp melodies, driving home the sense of restless youth and bruised desire that Blink-182 have always embodied.

This record sprawls with ideas—its garage-born energy tempered by touches of nostalgia and wide-eyed insurgence. While Blink-182 occasionally stray into familiar territory, "California" crackles with moments of inventive intensity, shifting between anthemic singalongs and reflective turns. It's a testament to the band's hunger for evolution, cementing their place in the ongoing dialogue of punk's sharpened edge and melodic heart. - Quinn
