The songwriting is more personal in nature and explores darker territory, touching upon the realities of adulthood and unexpected hardships. Its songs are sonically expansive and downcast, leading critics to view it as a more elaborate, mature side of the band.
It also marked a musical departure from their previous efforts, infusing experimental elements, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side projects, into their usual pop-punk sound. Recorded from January to October 2003 with producer Jerry Finn, the album has been described as darker and more mature than the band's earlier work. When they regrouped, they felt inspired to approach song structure and arrangements differently on their next effort together. Following their ascent to stardom and success of their prior two releases, the trio was compelled to take a break and participated in various side projects ( Box Car Racer and Transplants).
Blink-182 (also known as untitled) is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Blink-182, released on November 18, 2003, by Geffen Records.
