This "hits" album is exactly that--hits. These are the most popular songs, without a doubt. Unfortunately, this is not a "best of."

Not included:
dumpweed
apple shampoo
party song
girl next door
i wont be home for christmas
anthem pt 2
roller coaster
every time i look for you

On the other hand, it does include, "Another Girl, Another Planet," which, as far as I know, is not on any other albums or singles. This is the perfect CD for new fans. Older fans would probably not be satisfied.

Best cd I have ever purchased! Here are the songs:
1. Carousel - 8/10 - from cheshire cat, an older song along with #2.
2. M+Ms - 7/10 - Worst song on the disc.
3. Dammit - 8/10 - Not that bad for a huge-o hit!
4. Josie - 9/10 - Great refrain! Also buy the hysterical vid!
5. What's My Age Again - 11/10 - One the best 4 on the cd..
6. All The Small Things - 10/10 - I loved "Enema"...
7. Adam's Song - 8/10 - "I spilled a cup of apple juice in the hall" - Mark
8. Man Overboard - 9/10 - Only one from the cd Mark Travis/Tom Show
9. The Rock Show - 10/10 -Great refrain! Hate the faded ending. (The way they bleep it is hysterical!)
10. First Date -100000/10 - BEST SONG EVER. EXPLAINS REAL LIFE PROBLEMS!
11. Stay Together For The Kids 10/10- Great guitar riff
12. Feeling This - 10/10 - Goood.
13. I Miss You - 9/10 - Sounds like barenaked ladies...
14 Down 8/10 -OKAY
15. Always - 10/10 - Great lyrics
16. Not Now 10/10- A brand spankin' new song from the blinks
17. Another Girl, Another Planet - 100000/10 - Which is better, "first date" or this!?

I MISS BLINK
Also reccomended: Green day - every cd, single, and box, or interview
any blink cd!
Weezer - 5 studios, The bodeans (every cd) and LIVE! GREAT LIVE! and Barenaked Ladies... Get their new cd! + all the others & +44, but WHY DID BLINK HAVE TO BREAK UP SO SOON!!!!????

Sadly, at this point it doesn't look like Blink means to come back together anytime soon. I'm hoping that someday they will, but the release of a greatest hits album usually signals the near ending of a band, but not always, which is why I was both excited and sad when I heard Blink was releasing a greatest hits album. Supposedly Box Car Racer was the cause of the band falling apart, but there were other factors involved too. I hear that Tom is currently working with his new band "Angels and Airwaves", which sounds like it's worth checking out. But nothing can replace Blink.
Although I think this album doesn't showcase Blink's best work, it does have some good songs on it, such as the immature classic "What's My Age Again" from Enema of the State and the totally cool "Carousel" and "M+Ms" from Cheshire Cat. I enjoy most of them, but this is basically an album made entirely up of all the songs that people have gotten sick of or heard constantly on the radio. But hey, like I said, this has some really good songs, and includes the song "Not Now", which was supposed to be on Blink's untitled CD.
No one can match Tom's unique voice, Mark's energetic basswork, and Travis's awesome drumming. There is no better drummer out there today, Green Day's Tre Cool coming in for a close second. So get it. It's a good introduction for new fans and something older fans may or may not dig, depending on their favorite Blink-182 era.
Well....I salute you, Blink-182. I hope this isn't the end.

1. Carousel - 7/10...it's okay, but not one of their better songs
2. M+M's - 8/10...okay...but once again, they made better
3. Dammit - 8/10...pretty descent song, but it could be better
4. Josie -8/10...it's okay, I thought it was kind of repeating
5. What's My Age Again? - 9/10...I laughed so hard when I first heard this song!
6. All the Small Things - 9/10...great song, has a real nice beat to it
7. Adam's Song - 10/10...nothing like there other songs, but you can't help not to like it
8. Man Overboard - 9/10...awesome bass in the beginning, you'll like this song through and through
9. Rock Show - 10/10...One of my favorites on the CD, awesome lyrics and rhythm
10. First Date - 12/10...my favorite song of all time, Incredible lyrics, and you'll be left smiling after hearing the chorus
11. Stay Together for the Kids - 8/10...kind of dark, but the chorus is pretty cool
12. Feeling This - 10/10...they're isn't 1 part in this song I don't like
13. I Miss You - this is the first song I've ever heard of blink, and I instantly became a fan
14. Down - 9/10
15. Always - 9/10...awesome "clicks" in the beginning..you'll get it once you hear it
16. Not Now [#] - 11/10...another one of my favorites, though this one is a bonus track, man does it deserve to be on the "Greatest Hits"
17. Another Girl Another Planet - 10/10...same as "Not Now"

Overall : Do NOT hesitate...get this CD!...NOW!

this is my first blink-182 cd, i'm not one of those people who have worshiped them since their very first cd. the first exposur i had to blink-182 was when i saw their The Rock Show video on MTV when i was 11. i had liked them ever since, but never bought anything bought them. i got this because it had all of their best songs. it does run a little long though. although neccisary to show the proggression of the band, i thought Carousel and M+M's were pretty weak songs. i also didn't think it needed 4 songs from their latest album, which got a 'meh' reaction from fans. but my favorite song on the CD, I Miss You, is from that latest album. although i'm late in getting into them, i really hope this isnt the end of blink-182.

any blink-182, bowling for soup, green day, eminem, or usher you may wan't to get the clean version if you don't want as many inapropriate things.

Ok, Ok, Blink 182 is an alright band. "What's my age again" "Rock show" and "Feeling this" are awsome songs. But this album is DEPRESSING! The lyrics are very dark in a few of the songs for instance "Adam's song" is about SUICIDE!! And a few of the songs on this album are REALY REALY bad, like Carrosel. I'm not saying Blink 182 is a bad band just one that needs a little prozac. I find myself skiping through half the songs and only listening to about 6 on the whole album. BUT I'd still suggest buying this album, just make sure you have a programable CD player.

I wish, I'll probably just buy this song for "Man over Board", "Not now", and, "Another Girl another Planet" The other songs on the CD are great of course too. I Bass beat on "Not Now" is worth it alone.

you may wan't to get the clean version if you don't want as many inapropriate things. it is something your kid will like most realy old people like in their 40s or older don't like it so if you are one have them play it in a C.D. player
