If punk is really dead then Blink 182 and their ilk are spitting on its grave. These overgrown American adolescents are the musical version of South Park, peddling in vigorous three-minute pop tunes with lyrics about semen, excrement and giving blow jobs to children. Huge in their home country, they've now released this 20-track live album performed in front of a crowd rendered hysterical by classic one-liners such as 'Hey, I wasn't really masturbating - I was just checking my testicles for bumps!' In short, good dumb fun for the sort of people who think There's Something About Mary is the greatest film ever made. The rest of us can safely pass it by.
