Enema of the State

In 1999, blink-182 released Enema of the State, an album that marked a turning point in their sound. Recorded in various locations across California under the production of Jerry Finn, this work aimed for a more polished sound than their previous records. The most significant change prior to recording was the departure of original drummer Scott Raynor in 1998, who was replaced by Travis Barker, bringing a distinctive energy. The cover art, featuring the renowned figure of Janine Lindemulder dressed as a nurse, became an inseparable visual element of the album.
