On their third album,
Dude Ranch,
blink-182 follow in the same path as their first two, turning out 15 tracks of juvenile, adrenaline-fueled
punk-pop. Some listeners will find their potty humor (
"Dick Lips") somewhat irritating, but the group has written some surprisingly catchy hooks, which might win over skeptics. The songwriting is still a little uneven, but overall,
Dude Ranch is an improvement over their first album,
Cheshire Cat.
