Blink-182 Dogs Eating Dogs EP Album Review

1. When I Was Young – Tom’s voice in the opening sounds really different and I really love Mark on back-up vocals, especially in this song. “When I was young the world it was smaller. The cities were vast; the buildings were taller. I felt really strong; my parents seemed stronger. But life has a way it showers with greatness. Then takes it away those pieces that made us. Then teaches you things you'd never imagine. We all get the same the memories the burdens. The pictures we made they still form a pattern. They cautiously say does it all matter?” That is so beautiful.

2. Dogs Eating Dogs – The guitar in the opening sounds like a Panic! At The Disco song. Travis’s drums seem to be really sloppy, but not in a bad way. “I'm the last and the first in a very sad set of eyes.” That is so deep.

3. Disaster – The beginning sounds like I Miss You. The whole song reminds me of Anthem Pt. 2 and Up All Night. “White stones of hollow eyes Death comes you better hide. Never rest in town. Fall in my arms again. Full moon on a rotten night
Eighteen and a wind came by. Not a soul around, Fall in my arms again.” This made me tear up.

4. Boxing Day – There is finally a song about this holiday!!! In all seriousness, this song is really sad. It is definitely a break-up song. The chorus, “I’m empty like the day after Christmas, Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye. You left me on the day after Christmas. There’s nothing left to say, and so Goodnight. If that does not strike you as sad, I do not know what to say to you. “I will follow the trail to tomorrow with my loneliness with sorrow. All through the night, Sons and daughters, Mothers and their fathers, Cross the bridges and the waters for bruise left behind.” That part has so much emotion and I cannot really explain how it made me feel.

5. Pretty Little Girl – This is my favorite song on this E.P. When I was listening to it and I heard Yelawolf, I was like “Holy crap! It’s Yelawolf!!! That was a nice surprise. This song has some really good imagery, because it really shows how young love can be and this song brought tears to my eyes.
