Cheshire Cat

Blink-182乐队正式和Grilled Cheese/Cargo唱片公司签约，并且在几个月以后发行了乐队的第二张专辑《Cheshire Cat》。

Looking back, it's possible to see the roots of blink-182's tuneful frat punk on Cheshire Cat, but the fact of the matter is, this isn't as good an album as the ones that came later. That doesn't mean it's bad, since it skates by on its impish pranks and brash musicality, but the group is rather scattershot here, hitting the target as often as they miss it. There's enough here to dig into if you're a fan, but you have to be a fan to appreciate it.
