180-Gram Black Vinyl LP

Blink 182’s fourth studio album, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, was produced by Jerry Finn and released on June 12, 2001. The band had spent much of the previous year traveling and supporting the album Enema Of The State (1999), which launched the band’s mainstream career. The title is a tongue-in-cheek pun on male masturbation (take off your pants and jack it). The album continues the pop-punk sound that the group honed and made famous, albeit with a heavier tone inspired by groups such as Fugazi and Refused. The album has been referred to as a concept album chronicling adolescence, with songs dedicated to first dates, fighting authority and teenage parties.
