Due to differing opinions on direction, the trio worked in opposition to one another for the first time, and the sessions sometimes became contentious. Regarding its lyrical content, it has been referred to as a concept album chronicling adolescence, with songs dedicated to first dates, fighting authority, and teenage parties. As such, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket continues the pop punk tone that Blink-182 had honed and made famous, albeit with a heavier post-hardcore sound inspired by bands such as Fugazi and Refused. During the sessions, MCA executives pressured the band to retain the sound that helped their previous album sell millions. The album was recorded over three months at Signature Sound in San Diego with producer Jerry Finn. It is the band's final release through MCA. The album's title is a tongue-in-cheek pun on male masturbation ("take off your pants and jack it"), and its cover art has icons for each member of the trio: an airplane ("take off"), a pair of pants, and a jacket. Each song is a bold, loud and brash nod to revved-up hardcore fury ('Online Songs'), spring-loaded punk snarls ('Reckless Abandon') or churning rock 'n' roll ('Shut Up'). The band had spent much of the previous year traveling and supporting their previous album Enema of the State (1999), which launched their mainstream career. Take off Your Pants and Jacket blink-182 ROCK 2001 Emboldened by the success of Enema of the State, blink-182 ooze confidence on this boisterous effort. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is the fourth studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on June 12, 2001, by MCA Records.
