blink-182’s Enema of the State is the newest title unveiled for Interscope-Capitol’s acclaimed Definitive Sound Series (DSS), a new premium audiophile limited edition series using the state-of-the-art One Step process. As one of the defining bands of modern punk-pop, Enema of the State cemented blink-182 as the architects of a new wave of melodic punk. Pairing high-velocity hooks with irreverent humor and an unexpected emotional core, the album launched the trio to global stardom and became a cultural touchstone for a generation. Now widely regarded as one of the most influential rock albums of the late ’90s and 2000s, its legacy continues to resonate across modern pop-punk and alternative music. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from the original analog master tapes, the AAA [All Analog Mastering] 180-gram high-definition vinyl LP ($100) was pressed at Record Technology, Inc., and features a top-quality heavyweight Tip On gatefold single jacket, housed inside a uniquely designed slipcase.
