THE ALBUM OF THE DAYTRAVIS BARKER...Give The Drummer Some (2011)
(CD, clean version, Allmusic review)
This is a rock/rap album that debuted at number 9 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. Travis Barker is the drummer for Blink 182. Two things are wrong with this album. First, it's more of a rap album than a rock album with guest appearances from several major rap artist. Second, I hate how some artist think they need to use foul language in music. Just a dreadful album. Definitely not what I thought it was when I chose it to be the AOTD. Not recommended
