Each of the 3 domestic releases has 2 different bonus tracks. It's a silly marketing gimmick that record labels like to do to make collectors crazy. 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.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. In case you didn't know, there are 3 different domestic releases of this album (red, yellow, green OR Plane, Pants, Jacket). And while we're still feeling the continual back-drip of tracks from Enema, the fresh plethora of tunes from these rambunctious Toys-R-Us rockers have more purpose than ever. When Enema of the State leaped onto the charts in 1999, the lyrical direction was 90 percent party-boy mentality, leaving little room for traces of a growth spurt. The title plays on the use of jacket as an oronym for jack it, in reference to masturbation.
The album saw the band venture away from their typical pop-punk sound with songs like Stay Together for the Kids and Story of a Lonely Guy.
It later received multi-platinum certifications in the.
