review:
It can't be a bad life being a member of the band Blink 182.
If their Urethra Chronicles video is to be believed, their
job mainly involves travelling around the world, being extremely
childish and playing hugely enjoyable punk pop for the masses.
Basically a fly-on-the-wall look into that life, The Urethra
Chronicles gives little insight into the three Blinks aside
from their love of toilet humour and seeming obsession with
homosexuality. The music is given frustratingly short shrift
aside from the odd snippet of live performance, but you don't
have to be a teenage boy and/or a fan to find some of this
very funny. Much, however, will leave the casual observer
feeling left out on a series of in-jokes. When the three-piece
place their humour in the context of the music--as with the
four promo videos also included--the result, though, is fantastic.
The Backstreet Boys pastiche of "All the Small Things"
is not only the pinnacle both musically and visually but also
demonstrates the great Blink 182 irony--that behind the smirking,
childish exterior lurk three sensitive souls, just as keen
on their video to pay tribute to their girlfriends as they
are to drop their trousers. --Phil Udell
