And although the subject matter is certainly childish, the writing is anything but. Obviously, the songs are still about relationships and teenage rebellion and such, but the band manages to pull them off in a way that seems fresh (something that is certainly hard to come by in the genre nowadays). But if you take a closer look at the album, you will find that the writing on TOYPAJ is more mature than the writing on their previous albums.

EOTS had a lot of immature songs, and TOYPAJ has a lot of immature songs. A lot of people wrote it off as a stupid carbon copy of their other albums, most notably the one released right before it, Enema of the State. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is certainly an interesting album to analyze. Before making their undeniably grown-up self-titled album, they decided to release one more fun, immature album. TOYPAJ basically follows the same formula of EOTS, which is, make an album full of fun, catchy, pop-punk tunes with some mature songs thrown in for good measure. After the immensely immature Enema of the State, I’m sure that a lot of people expected the band to mature somewhat on their next album. Some see this as the black sheep of Blink’s discography, and I can understand why they think that. Fortunately for us, Blink-182 left behind some excellent albums, one of them being Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. Tom Delonge was hurting more than helping anyway. But what now? What’s with this Angels and Airwaves/Plus 44 bullsh it? I want Blink-182 back!! Ah well, I suppose that it was for the best. Oh, Blink-182, what happened? You guys were so good! If I was having a bad day, I would come home and listen to your music, knowing that it would cheer me up.
