Take Off Your Pants and Jacket


Take Off Your Pants and Jacket adalah album studio keempat oleh band rock Amerika Blink-182 , dirilis pada 12 Juni 2001, oleh MCA Records . Band ini telah menghabiskan sebagian besar tahun sebelumnya untuk bepergian dan mendukung album mereka sebelumnya Enema of the State (1999), yang meluncurkan karir utama mereka. Judul album adalah plesetan lidah di pipi pria masturbasi ("lepaskan celanamu dan dongkrak"), dan seni sampulnya memiliki ikon untuk setiap anggota trio: pesawat terbang ("lepas landas"), sepasang celana, dan jaket. Ini adalah rilisan terakhir band melalui MCA.

The album was recorded over three months at Signature Sound in San Diego with producer Jerry Finn. During the sessions, MCA executives pressured the band to retain the sound that helped their previous album sell millions. As such, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket continues the pop-punk tone that Blink-182 had honed and made famous, albeit with a heavier post-hardcore sound inspired by bands such as Fugazi and Refused. Regarding its lyrical content, it has been referred to as a concept album chronicling adolescence, with songs dedicated to first dates, fighting authority, and teenage parties. Due to differing opinions on direction, the trio worked in opposition to one another for the first time, and the sessions sometimes became contentious.

The album had near-immediate success, becoming the first punk rock record to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 and achieving double platinum certification in May 2002. It produced three hit singles—"The Rock Show", "Stay Together for the Kids", and "First Date"—that were top-ten hits on modern rock charts. Critical impressions of the album were generally positive, commending its expansion on teenage themes, although others viewed this as its weakness. To support the album, the band co-headlined the Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket has sold over 14 million copies worldwide.

The history of the Billboard Top 200 is riddled with questionably titled albums, but in 2001, Blink-182 set a new standard. The top album in the country—a first for a punk record—was a masturbation pun.

The anticipated follow-up to 1999’s Enema of the State did not disappoint as Take Off Your Pants and Jacket became the first punk rock record to reach No 1 on the Billboard 200 on its debut.
