Encyclopedia
Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is the fourth studio album
by the American pop punk
band Blink-182
. Produced by Jerry Finn
, the album was released on June 12, 2001 through MCA Records
. Blink-182, after the massive commercial success of their previous album, Enema of the State
, entered the studio in late 2000 to record a follow-up to Enema. The title is a tongue-in-cheek
pun
on male masturbation
("take off your pants and jack it").
The album was a huge success, debuting at #1 and selling more than 350,000 copies in its first week on the Billboard 200
, becoming the band's only album to do so. It is Blink-182's second best selling album. The album has sold 4.5 million records worldwide, while going double platinum in the United States
. The album contains the hit singles "The Rock Show
", "Stay Together for the Kids
", and "First Date" while "Anthem Part Two" also received radio airplay. The singles (with the exception of "Anthem Part Two") later appeared on Blink 182's Greatest Hits
album.
, and the subsequent touring to support the album, the band spent three weeks writing new songs at their practice space in San Diego and recorded them over a period of three months at Signature Sounds Recordings
studios with producer Jerry Finn
. The album was written and recorded in the same manner as Enema, albeit less "polished" (according to Mark Hoppus). Influenced by bands such as Fugazi and Refused
during the recording sessions, the band had a desire to make the album much heavier.
Upon release in 2001, vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus
stated:
). The album’s cover features three separate circles, the first one representing the red "take off" plane, the yellow pants, and the green jacket.
and continued by Enema of the State
. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200
chart, with first-week sales of 353,000 copies. Billboard regarded the success as a response to the success of the first single, "The Rock Show
". To date, it has gone double platinum in the United States
and has sold over 4 million records worldwide. Three official singles were released from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket: "The Rock Show" was released later in June 2001, "First Date" in October of that year, and "Stay Together for the Kids" in February 2002. "Anthem Part Two" was released in April 2002 as an airplay single.
There were four editions of the album that were released, the original version with the regular track listing and three different versions, each with a different CD label - the red "take off" plane, the yellow pants, and the green jacket. These editions were also packed in Digipak
cases. Each different type of CD had a separate duo of hidden tracks, one serious, the other a joke song.
Upon release, the album received positive to mixed reviews from music critics. Rob Sheffield
of Rolling Stone
suggested that Take Off Your Pants and Jacket improved on its predecessor, Enema of the State, while Entertainment Weekly
unfavorably compared it to Enema of the State, going on to describe the album as "adolescent energy and rebellion made joyless".
The album was also released on vinyl though limited to 1500 copies, 2000 at the most. It was only an exclusive release through Hot-Topic just like the Box Car Racer
's recent vinyl release in August 2010. The vinyl edition of Take Off Your Pants And Jacket can also be found on eBay
. It was later discovered that all the albums were pressed wrong, which caused the album to skip, jump to another song, or not play at all.
The song "Everytime I Look For You" was used as the opening song for the 2001 comedy film American Pie 2
and can be heard on its soundtrack. Two of the bonus tracks from the separate editions of the album were released on compilation albums: "Time to Break Up" is featured on Atticus: ...Dragging the Lake
(2002), a compilation album released by the clothing company Atticus Clothing
(which was partly founded by Blink-182's Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge) and "Don’t Tell Me It’s Over" can be heard on the sequel to that album, Atticus: ...Dragging the Lake, Vol. 2
(2003). "Anthem Part Two" was included as a part of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stick It
