Blink-182

Enema of the State is the third studio album by the American rock band Blink-182, released on June 1, 1999. Produced by Jerry Finn, the record was the band's first to feature drummer Travis Barker. It became a massive commercial success and is considered a quintessential pop-punk album that brought the genre to a mainstream audience.

Release: June 1, 1999, via MCA Records.

The album was highly influential, helping to define and reinvent the pop-punk genre for a new generation. It has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it the band's most successful album.

Lyrically, the album focuses on adolescent frustration and relationships, with songs about breakups, parties, maturity, and more offbeat subjects like UFOs. The humor in its singles was often contrasted with more emotionally resonant themes, such as the poignant "Adam's Song".

The famous cover features porn star Janine Lindemulder dressed as a nurse; the album's title is a pun on the phrase "enemy of the state".
