Editorial Review:
This greatest-hits collection spans the short career of one of pop-punk's most celebrated outfits, blink-182. The album features tracks from their 1994 debut Buddha through to the more experimental final album, 2003's blink-182. The album serves as a perfect introduction into the band's hook-driven pop-punk which has always involved a large dose of frat-boy toilet humor.
Greatest Hits Reviews:
Nobody Likes You When You're 23, But Grow Up & We'll Find A New-Found Love For You 
2009-07-21 - One of the most influential groups of the 00s, Blink-182 has had their share of haters and criticisms, but they've come back strong every time. This generically titled "Greatest Hits" is pretty standard by greatest hits albums, showcasing most of the singles, maybe a few rarities, but the most distinguishing feature is the exact chronology of the album. As you trek through you see their progression musically, vocally, and even in maturity.
Highlights Include:
Carousel
What's My Age Again?
Adam's Song
The Rock Show
First Date
Another Girl Another Planet
At the start of the album the band has a distinctive punk sound and as they move on the sound becomes more streamlined and mainstreamed, which culminates in 'Enema,' and branches off in subsequent records. Sure, some of the songs and choices are questionable, but thus is the history of the band. One thing you can't deny, their hits were pretty darn good/fun.
The collection is basically a showcase of the band before their breakup and subsequent hiatus. However, since they're back together, I would hold off on the album for fear of them releasing a better version with more rarities, or even an edition which included a DVD. Not to mention the fact that something just seems to be missing from the album. The future of this influential band is now wide-open, and this CD is a reminder where they've been. What's down the line? Nobody really knows...
Great CD! 
2008-10-31 - Blink 182 is just fun high energy music and these are their greatest hits. What's not to like? It's a great CD.
Blink 182
2007-05-07 - Great album. They really should have included Give Me One Good Reason, though. Thats probably their best song. Adam's Song is the best song on this album definetly. I wish they were still together.
to all
2007-04-09 - this band got me into music when i was just a lad. people have to stop saying "blink isnt 'punk rock'" yeah yeah, get over it.... i know they aren't punk and we ALL know they aren't punk. punk as some of of you know is screaming and playing as fast as you can. i like all that too so i'm not critizing that. punk may also be a band like The Clash or Fugazi which is the changing of rock n' roll into something more alternative. blink 182 is pop punk. this genre is really looked down upon by all the crap thats out there today but there are pop punk bands like Green Day and Alkaline Trio that are also some of my favorites. blink-182 was a band inspired by The Cure and The Desendents. therefore, they aren't true "hardcore" punk, the music gives you the chills and reminds you of when you were a kid, which is what i love. selection for this album could of been better though, which is why i give it a four. STOP GIVING REVEIWS THAT SAY THEY ARENT PUNK..... WE ALL KNOW!!
great for coffee!!
2007-03-23 - After dealing with zombies all day, I like to come home and relax. I usually wind down with a cup of mocha and yell at the dolt on the radio who is trying to tell me to go see Al Gore's movie. Al Gore is not an actor and he is not even half the athlete that Frank is. Speaking of Frank the forty niners have not done squat since Steve Young retired but my team is the Bears. Oh well we lost the superbowl but back to what I was saying, when I get home and relax I need something to set my coffee mug down on and any cd by this band is great for that. really really great because they are so annoying and boring. the cd is worth the money for a coaster though and i let me children smash the jewel cases with bats sometimes. it teaches them hand eye coodination much better than those silly video games the zombie kids are playing. no wonder everyone thinks the world is going to end, with all these zombies running around!!!
