Review: If you're not a Blink 182 fan the fact the American pop punk rockers put out a Greatest Hits album in 2005 might be quite surprising considering they only rose to international chart repute at the turn of the century. Delve into their story, though, and you realise by the time they put out this compilation - coinciding with their split and, in the label Geffen's words, "indefinite hiatus" - they'd actually already been going for more than a decade.
Nevertheless, it's impossible not to acknowledge that it was the landmark albums Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, respectively landing in 1999 and 2001, that saw them really break into the mainstream conscious. As such, excerpts from that era, for example 'All The Small Things' and 'What's My Age Again?' represent the biggest hitters here, however it's hard to ignore just how infectious every upbeat, angst-laden track is.
Review: A vibrant collection capturing the essence of the multi-Grammy Award star's storied career. Featuring iconic tracks like 'Complicated,' 'Sk8er Boi' and 'Girlfriend,' this compilation showcases Lavigne's knack for catchy hooks and rebellious spirit. The album traverses her evolution from angsty teen anthems to more mature, reflective songs like 'When You're Gone' and 'Keep Holding On.' Each track is a testament to her ability to blend pop, rock and punk elements seamlessly and, as such, serves as a nostalgic journey for longtime fans and a great introduction to new to the Lavigne party.
