Before they were big, there was Dude Ranch
Pros:
Mark and Tom do songs together!
Cons:
Some of the songs sound a bit the same.
The Bottom Line:
GET THIS CD, when blink is using keyboards and they don't sell Dude Ranch anymore you'd be sorry.

Author's Review
Man oh man! This is an amazing CD from my favorite band! I see all these retards who like blink-182 for Enema, but this is where it starts!
I will rate each song out of 5. 5 being the best, 1 the worst.
1. PATHETIC (4.5)
What makes this song amazing is that Mark and Tom trade lines. I really missed this on Enema and for the most part, Pants and Jacket. Good guitar line and catchy lyrics.
2. VOYEUR (3)
One of those songs where you don't really want to listen to the lyrics too closely. Love the guitar riffs for some reason, and Tom sounds good. Decent song, worth a listen.
3. DAMMIT (5)
I have to say, this is an excellent guitar riff. Easy, very easy, but good. Love the way Tom uses the palm mute and power chord in this song. Good lyrics too.
4. BORING (3)
A little too short. Like the guitar riff.
5. DICK LIPS (5)
EXCELLENT song about Tom getting grounded for being drunk (or so he says). They named this "Dick Lips" because Mark was calling everyone "dick lips" that day and they didn't have another name for the song. By no means a joke song. Don't let the title fool you.
6. WAGGY (4)
Good. Can't explain it more than that.
7. ENTHUSED (4)
Again, one of Tom's six-note riffs make this song. Good lyrics too.
8. UNTITLED (4.5)
Great song about kind of fading away from a girl. Tom uses palm mutes well, and the lyrics are very well put together.
9. APPLE SHAMPOO (5)
One of the best tracks on this album, it seems to be about making a big mistake. Again, good rhymes and rhythem.
10. EMO (4)
Emo is a type of music. A very good song, for sure. In the studios Mark would say, "hey Tom let's play that emo sounding song again".
11. JOSIE (5)
About having a girlfriend that's way too good for you. Only con- Jeez Tom, come up with a better guitar part, I learned it in like 10 minutes.
12. A NEW HOPE (4)
All about Star Wars.
13. DEGENERATE (5!!)
5 because this song is hilarious! Read the lyrics and you will laugh out loud. Seriously one of the best blink joke songs ever.
14. LEMMINGS (3)
A song about everybody following one another. Decent.
15. I'M SORRY (4)
A good way to end the album. Tom sings well in this song.
