A2 Media: Creating my track list

When creating my track list, I went back to my research on pop-punk albums and looked at the first 3 albums from the 'frequently mentioned albums'.

I thought it would be a good idea to look at their track lists so that I could see the average number of tracks on a pop-punk album, and to see the types of names the songs are given

Enema of the State- Blink 182

This album has 12 tracks and by looking at the names of the tracks, we can get a sense of who the target audience is as it includes the words 'college' and 'party' and then theres also 'what's my age again?' which all suggest that they are aimed at people who enjoy themselves and don't take themselves to seriously, and are likely to be in their late teens to early twenties.

Dookie- Green Day

This album has 15 tracks. The names of the tracks seem to portray emotions which could suggest that Green Day have written about their own feelings maybe. I also like the fact that they have named their tracks with one word like 'Burnout', 'Chump', 'Longview' and 'she' as it makes them memorable.

All Killer, No Filler- Sum 41

This album has 13 tracks. One thing I have noticed is that all of these albums have at least one explicit song which shows how the target audience isn't for children.

After looking at these track list I worked out the average number of tracks:
13+15+12=40
40/3=13.333
Average number of tracks (and how long my own track list will be): 13

I also thought of the idea of coming up with words to do with 'wasting away' and what emotions it portrays.
