Pop-punk royalty meets audiophile perfection as blink-182’s legendary 1999 album ‘Enema of the State’ becomes the newest masterpiece in Interscope-Capitol’s prestigious Definitive Sound Series (DSS). This isn’t just a reissue; it is a full-throttle sonic restoration of the album that redefined a generation, now meticulously crafted using the state-of-the-art One Step process to deliver unparalleled clarity. Mastered directly from the original analog master tapes by the renowned Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, this 180-gram AAA vinyl pressing allows fans to hear every high-velocity hook and thunderous drum fill from Travis Barker with a depth and punch never before achieved on the format. Limited to just 3,000 hand-numbered copies, the package is a true collector’s dream, featuring a heavyweight Tip On gatefold jacket protected by a custom DSS slipcase and a certificate of authenticity to verify its elite pedigree.
The cultural impact of ‘Enema of the State’ remains massive, having launched the trio into global superstardom on the strength of era-defining hits like “All the Small Things,” “What’s My Age Again?”, and the raw, emotional “Adam’s Song.” By selecting this landmark recording for the DSS lineup, Interscope and Capitol are honoring the architectural influence blink-182 holds over modern alternative music. Pressed at the world-class Record Technology, Inc. (RTI), this $100 limited edition is designed for the most discerning listeners who want to experience the irreverent energy and melodic genius of the late ’90s in its ultimate form. Pre-orders are officially open, with the high-definition discs expected to ship on February 20, 2026—making this the definitive way to “stay together for the kids” and your turntable.
