it is NOT self titled. the band members have said this themselves. the article also clearly states that it was left untitled.

[edit] Self-Titled

What the hell do you people mean, "until there is an official statement from a band member, we have to speculate? At the top of the article you mention Travis saying its Untitled! Jesus Christ..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.60.148 (talk) 23:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Isn't this album self titled? What is the display name when you rip a song from this cd? (i don't know) --69.136.111.181 23:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I was always under the impression that it was untitled. This has caused a lot of confusion, with many people thinking it self-titled. There was an interview once that said it was untitled - I can't find it anywhere but I'll keep looking. Dragonfly888 23:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

i totally thought this was eponymous.--JadenGuy 14:05, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

According to the official Web site, it is self-titled. Cparker 04:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The album is untitled WereWolf 15:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

The album is untitled [1] please do not move it from (untitled). th e reason it says its self titled on the official site is bacuase the artists have very little, if any control over the website. also, it is called "blink-182" to reduse confusion. but it is untitled so says mark, tom, and travis. --Worthlessboy1420 23:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

There's people showing evidence that it is self-titled, and people simply stating that it's untitled. As for me, as far as I knew (basically from seeing the subtitles at the beggining of videos on Mtv and such) it is self-titled. Someone should just move it... or I'll do it later if I remember...

In the linear notes of blink-182's Greatest Hits, this is listed as 'blink-182', NOT 'Untitled'. --68.158.168.29 00:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

True, but the band doesnt have much control over a greatest hits album either, do they? and besides ALL MEMBERS OF THE BAND HAVE SAID IT'S UNTITLED NOT SELF-TITLED and that should be reason enough to say it's untitled... 125.238.18.100 09:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

its refered to as both an untitled and a self titled album Olir 16:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Everyone in favor of "untitled" says "the band has said so" -- can anyone say where they heard this? Klondike 00:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It says so here (http://www.celebritypro.com/bio/blink_182_bio.htm) Tjwells 7:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leslie

I don't think the vocals on "I'm Lost Without You" were recorded through a Leslie Speaker (which is here, identified solely as a "rotating speaker." The Leslie was used on the intro to "Asthenia." The vocals on "I'm lost..." don't bear the pitch/volume shift characteristics of a Leslie. Jlee562 10:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Storytime

I heard that this album and its songs go together in a sort of a story? Im sure I read an interview or something where one of the members said that their latest album (I assume they mean this) goes in a sort of a story, where you have to listen from the first song to the last song for it to make sense...

A concept album? similar to Green Day's American Idiot? hmmm... i'll need to listen to it again.

are you sure you dont mean box car racer? Olir 00:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stockholm Syndrome

The bit of trivia about Muse having a song with the same name seems rather pointless, doesn't it? It looks like someone realized the two bands had the same song title, and wanted to spread the pointless knowledge. Interesting? Maybe. Pointless? Definitely.

I'd like to query the fact that the letters were read out at the end of violence. In the booklet which acompanies the album it clearly states these are at the beginning of stockholm syndrome. However some people may get confused, as because of the way the cd has been structured, cd ripping software rips these as the end of the violence track. For example, try putting your cd player on random. It will not play the letters at the end of violence, nor at the beginning of stockholm syndrome. I don't understand cd recording/playing enough to account for this, but the letters were definately intended for the beginning of stockholm syndrome.

I think you'll find that when you do play it in order, that when it comes to the letter reading, the timer goes into negative timing, as if you set it to display the time left in the song. interestingly, i discovered once when i played this album on random that when the two songs happen to randomly be put next to each other (difficult to make happen in practice), it plays the letter reading sequence. 125.238.18.100 09:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Heh, sorry. (It must be in the pregap of Stockholm.) The Mu 16:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey this is a note to whoever keeps changing the page to say that the letters are read out at the end of violence. Why do you keep doing this? Blink have said it themselves that these letters are intended for the beginning of stockholm syndrome. It says in the album booklet. It says on many web sites that this is the case. It is also clear from the use of a pregap. If you want to change it to violence then you will need to state your reasons for doing so. If you have none besides the fact that when you rip the track off a cd it appears tacked on the end of violence then could you please stop changing it. I'm getting bored of changing it back.

That leads to one more question: whatever happened to UrSWIT? Anyway, it's so pointless to discuss it, seeing as one would also come and say that there's a Backyard Babies album with that same name. Nothing anyone should care about. 201.9.164.7 (talk) 12:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Use Your Erection

Okay, let's set this straight: this was not a 'working title'. It was a joke! See [2]. It can be mentioned in the article, but not as a 'working title', and not on the first line!--GraafGeorge (talk) 23:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
