Blink 182- Part 2 - Dude Ranch

Hi all. Heres the second installment of my research on Blink 182.

Dude Ranch was Blink's second released album. Altough it is fairly well known today by people into this sort of music, it did not really get popular until after their next couple of albums were released. Part of that has to do with the fact that once they became more well known people wanted more so they looked for some prior albums. Another reason, however, is that in the live CD, they refer to this CD in some of there dialog, and then play a few songs from it.People were exposed to it and liked what they heard. So onto fibonacci...

Here i had similar results to the last album, Chesire Cat. Out of 15 songs, this time i found three that fit the fibonacci numbers. Track 4 "Boring", track 10 "Emo" and track 11 "Josie" showed ratios of 1.6, 1.63, and 1.62 respectively.

I had initially expected that "Dammit", the most famous song from this album, as well as what many consider to be Blink's best song, would exhibit the fibonacci ratio, but no such luck.

the entire album is 2727 seconds long meaning the "fibonacci number" would be just after 26 minutes in. this occurs in the song "Emo." while at this point there is a nice instrumental which happens to be a personal favorte of mine, i do not see this as the climax of the album.

ill see everyone next time with blinks most famous album, Enema of the State.
